Anyway, well I'll give you five bucks if you can tell me what this is (and don't be all literal, try and think by way of Lil Man's brain if you dare!):

Yup, you got it....it's a page in reverse Braille! HA! Lil Man brought this to me and said that he made me a note in reverse braille because he doesn't know how to make the bumps. It says "My mom is the best mom in the whole wide universe" You can say alot with just a few holes I guess... :)
Next he made this for my lil sis that came to visit this past weekend (just as a clue, the note actually starts on the second line, the top is his signature line since he ran out of space at the bottom):
It reads "Der Gnel doo you want too cum too see monstrs vs alens (go to top of page) frum coul (go to letters in front of frum)ter." I love him! It was a note inviting Janelle (now forever to be known as Gnel) to go on a date with him to see the movie Monsters Vs Aliens. He left it on her pillow before going to bed. I had to steal a pic before she took it!
Lastly...I have been putting together a b-day present for my MIL (a little late I know) so I am feeling VERY nostalgic about Lil Man. He is soooo dang big it's hard to remember that he used to be small and fragile and depend on me for everything. Now I am lucky if he lets me make him breakfast. I miss holding him without popping something inside, hearing his baby belly laugh, him gumming my chin, poopy diapers that smell/look like you need a hazmat suit to approach, bouncing for hours on the bed to help him sleep and then sleeping upright all night just to keep him asleep on my shoulder, and I even miss waking up in the night to feed/change him instead of just waking up in the night. Do I sound desperate or what?!?!? But, despite me missing him being small, and in absence of a time machine, I am AmaZed at everything about him. I am so lucky to have such a great kid. So, despite wallowing in my own self pity here and there and complaining about little things he does that make me nuts, I know how great I have it! :) Here's mini-Lil-man for ya, see he really did used to be small! *click the pic to see it a little bigger*
Well look at you being all hip and everything! :) He's such a cutie and we miss you guys so much! Can't wait for June! I'm with you on the growing up too fast thing. The 2nd goes by like a 1000 times faster, too, so be ready for that. I'm excited to blogstalk you guys! Love you!
ReplyDeleteOh, so cute! I love the picture of Coulter's first kiss because I love it when babies chew on my chin or try to nurse from my nose. Oh, I love that. Yep, if you're missing sleeping upright with a baby on your shoulder, I'd say that's pretty crazy. But then, so is dragging MY children around with you two days in a row in DC in the middle of August, just to give me a break. And then chasing them around the light post while you waited for me to come pick them up at 3:00 on a hot, humid day. Crazy - that's just the kind of person you are. Lucky Coulter.
ReplyDeleteHey Hey, looks like you got at least 3 followers now! wahoo! Love the post! And the photos of Coulter as a baby are super cute. (especially the glasses and the butt crack haha!) I love his spelling on his note. He's a smart little guy.
