Oh to be 3!!!

On Thursday I was able to just listen to Blevin and observe all his little thoughts that were going on in his brain. (probably because I went to bible study and spent personal time in the word) I love to hear what he is imagining and try not to crush it with reality. So....during his "rest time" he came out and invited me to come play with his new friends. I went in there and met "turtle" (a watering can with a turtle face on it), "key" (the lock box for the car that he found and brought in), and "baby" (his blanket that he wads up and puts to sleep in his bed or in a basket). He had the game Chutes and Ladders set up for them and they were playing! Then we went for a run later that afternoon and when we were running he said "Mommy, we are going as fast as a race car!" and then saw the neighborhood dog running beside us and said "We are going as fast as a dog!" I don't know why I thought that was so cute - I guess just because it is so cute to think about how much he still has to learn and I love that he still is so innocent (in some ways)! I am so thankful for those little moments as a mom when I can laugh out loud at things that are not really funny at all to any one else, but that bring me pure joy!!!

(this is a picture of Blevin with the neighborhood dog- when we moved in everyone told us it was ours- apparantly she is abandoned- and she has finally warmed up to us enough to pet her and the boys love her)
