My Sweet, Silly Boy

Spending time with my son is one of my most favorite things in life. Since the day he entered this world my life has become brighter, more challenging and more interesting. I'm definitely guaranteed  a smile and a chuckle pretty much every day that he is around. I just wanted to share some (more) of  the sweet and silly things that this little guy says and does that makes my life more interesting and joyful.


*Yesterday Elisha was full of silliness and mischief. At one point we are just sitting doing an activity and he looks up at me and says, "Mom, I just wanna hold you like a little baby." I just looked at him and chuckled and thought that was a weird thing to say, but also really sweet at the same time. He probably said it two more times that afternoon. I'm not sure what made him say it, but it was sweet.

*Last night it happened. You know that one thing  that happens to all parents of small children. I was naive enough to think it wouldn't happen to me. We've had the talk about this, we have stressed how naughty it is, we have prepared him enough that he should know NOT to do this thing. But he did it anyway. He cut his own hair. You know what I'm talking about, that "v" cut right in the middle of bangs. Matt had the scissors and clippers out and was giving himself a haircut. He left the stuff out because we were planning on giving Elisha a trim. When Matt wasn't looking, Elisha made his move. Afterwards, we told him how disappointed we were that he would do that even though he knew it was naughty. He said he was sorry. Matt fixed his hair and cut it shorter than what we wanted initially. When Matt was done Elisha said, "look, now I'm handsome like you, except I don't have a beard." Matt chuckled and replied, "yeah, but mama is not gonna like that we had to cut it so short." with that Elisha yells upstairs (where I am) "Mom!!! I'm handsome like daddy now, but I don't have a beard!!" It was just so cute, I couldn't possibly stay upset. His hair turned out fine and he won't need a trim for awhile.

*A couple of days ago Elisha was over at his Auntie Sarie and Uncle Luke's while I was out running errands. His Uncle Luke asked him, jokingly, "Elisha, when are you going to settle down and get married?" Elisha replied, "I don't know." Luke then asked, "well do you have a girlfriend?" Elisha replied, "Well, I have my mommy." What a sweetie!

*Just about everyday Elisha will randomly tell me, "I love you, mom." It's always completely random. I never know when he will say it because I'm not usually actively doing anything for him. He will be coloring, playing a game or eating and he will surprise me with those sweet words.
