I don't "wuv" you anymore!

It's been a big week for Caden Sosa.

On Tuesday night, at about 9:30 (he never goes to bed before 10pm now that he's a napper again) he figured out his buttons.

He must have unbuttoned and re-buttoned his P.J.s twelve times that night.  He made sure he nailed it.  We were so proud!

Then, to make a perfect Mother's Day even more perfect, he decided to make today be the day he figured out how to say "L" instead of "W"!  (ala "I wuv you, mommy.")  Beck has been helping his little brother practice a lot lately, teaching him how to use his tongue to make the "L" sound and the like.  And this morning was the big debut.  

Caden lay in bed with us and he said, "Mommy, Mommy!  I lllllLove you."  He got it!  Beck was right, some day he'd get it.  And now my baby isn't as much of a baby anymore.

Sniff... Sniff...  See for yourself...

Oh. Oh. Oh!

Happy Mother's Day!  I'm the luckiest mommy in the world.

Whose yer daddy?

Caden:
"Hey BE-ECK! Wanna pwetend your da Daddy and I'm da Baby?"

Beck:
"No-OOO Ca-DEN!
How about YOU'RE the Baby and I'M the Daddy!"

Beck wants out of politics

Yesterday morning, lying in bed, I looked over my left shoulder and found Beck wide awake staring at me intently, practically willing me awake.

He had something to say:

Whispering, so as not to wake up Caden over my right shoulder: "Mommy, I know what I want to be when I grow up!"

Me: "What's that, Bug?"

Beck: "I want to be an Ice Cream Man!"

I tried hard not to show my disappointment. Can you imagine what this will do for my diet!?
