Nanny Life, Mr. Toddler

Today is the first time in weeks Toddler has let me sing him to sleep, he's so cute and peaceful now, with every blanket he owns on top of him,  I swear it's not that cold in the house, but he insisted. He's so great, he's so laid back but at the same time he must have everything just so or else it's ruined, he wants the things he cares about to be perfect, and to me, that's beautiful. Haha though aggravating at times.

I love it when he laughs, he has the best laugh! I love when he's trying to get your attention or convince you of something, he gets really close to your face, as if that makes what he's saying right.

 I love how he thinks his broom is actually a guitar that he uses like a drum.

I love how when he's being silly, he'll squint his eyes and scrunch up his nose when he's talking to you.

I love how much he loves his little sister. He thinks she's like the most perfect thing in the world, and he always wants everything to be perfect for her, even if he doesn't always like to share. I hope and pray that they are always as devoted and loving to each other as they are now.

I love how much he loves to wrestle  and play.

I love how after his naps, he kind of melts into your arms like butter.

I love that he loves learning and is so curious about everything, so many questions and sometimes not enough answers. I love all the things he's learning, songs and letters, numbers and counting.

 This boy is growing up and it's great and beautiful and oh so bittersweet.

I pray that he grows into a strong and courageous man, fiercely loving God and his family. I pray he seeks after God with everything he has in him. I pray that he be known for lifting others up with his words and his actions, may he be purposeful in his life, and may he be blessed in every way. Because he's amazing and no one knows it better than our great God.
