July 13, 2009 2:55 pm Wesley Lennox came into our world. He's topped my list of favorite people ever since.... Here's a list of my favorite things about him:
*Anytime he eats in his highchair he takes a bite and then gives a bite to Webster. In that order, over and over again. He loves his dogs.
* He loves to climb. Seriously, LOVES.to.climb. I always find him in weird places. Today for example, he was in the bath tub and I stepped out the door to grab a towel and he had climbed out of the tub and onto the toilet to get his toy. 1. How did he get out of the tub? 2. How did the wet child climb onto the toilet?!? When I caught him, he just laughed. This is why they tell you not to leave your child unattended.
*He has not even cried once when I've left him at Vilma's (knock on wood). This makes going to work SO much easier for me. I know he is loved and he loves being there. Now, leaving him to take the dogs out potty is a whole different ball game. :)
*Every time we get in the car and go for a drive he is as excited as the first time he got in the car for a drive. He just sits back with his hand on the arm rest and takes in the views. Never cries, never looks for other things to do. He just really enjoys taking in the scenery. He reminds me that we all just need to take a chill, sit back and enjoy the view.
*I love the way he taps his foot and waves his arm up and down like a rapper when he's dancing. He dances to any song now, the kid just loves music. I played "Birthday" this morning and he couldn't get enough. This was my favorite way to wake up on a birthday as a kid. I hope we can keep the tradition going.
*He is ALL boy. He likes to be messy, grab his wiener, and he would make out with the dog if you let him. I wanted a boy and definitely got one... as gross as that is some days.
*He gives the best hugs. Almost like he knows you've had a bad day and he's going to make it all better. Then he'll follow it up by grabbing my face, looking into my eyes, and say "Dad!" I can't help but laugh every time.
This is so entertaining Christy!!
ReplyDeleteYou are a great Mom and Tony is a great Dad. Anytime a child is this happy it is a direct reflection of how loved and accepted he feels. Keep up the great work. You are building an incredibly solid foundation for his self esteem. Love you all soooooo much!!!!
