Sayings of Jonah

While this dear boy has been a little more...ummm, frustrating over the past week of sickness and 2-year-old-ness....he is really quite a little charmer...he seriously is always complimenting me...telling me I have nice earrings, nice hair, nice shirt, nice cheeks (he seriously does tell me I have nice cheeks...isn't that hilarious?!)...honestly -- this boy is good for the ego, that's for sure!! Yesterday, out of the blue...waiting for supper, he had his elbows on the table, and his sweet face resting in his hands...and he says: "mama? You're my best friend." oh my goodness...today, i'm getting supper ready, and he says: "thanks for making supper for me, Mama." Oh...you're welcome you darling boy...

and these days, he is LOVING helping me with everything. ev.ery. thing. seriously -- it can be a little annoying/time consuming sometimes, but...he's got the sweetest little heart, I don't want to break his spirit...and I DO want him to really be an actual 'help' to me someday, so...I let him set the table, and put the peanut butter on his toast, and carry his milk to the table...and I can barely step foot by the fridge or sink or counter, without him running and getting his little chair and dragging it over to the end of the counter to help me...He's the sweetest. Not without incredibly frustrating moments, but...he's really just the joy of my heart...
