Mother's Day

My Mom Helps Me Grow:

My mother is the most wonderful mother in the whole world. I like to make her smile by helping her do the dishes. I think she smells like mommy. She's as pretty as her fox shirt. My mom likes to go to the restaurant. Orange is her favorite color. Her favorite food is sandwiches, but they are different than mine. I think my mom is 28 years old, and she's almost as tall as Daddy. My mom is very smart and knows a lot about books. I think my mom is funny when we dance. Did you have a good day? is her favorite thing to say. I like it best when she takes me to the playground. Before I go to bed, my mom eats dinner with us. My favorite time with her is when we be together.

Happy Mother's Day!

Hats Off to Mom:

My mom wears many hats in our family.

My mom is a teacher. She taught me to zip my hard jacket.

My mom is a magician. She can always find lost things. Once she found my really small train engineer.

My mom is a chauffeur. She drives me to the toy store in summer.

My mom is a sanitation worker. When she sees my room she says "It looks great!"

My mom is a cook. I love it when she makes quesadillas.

My mom is a nurse. She always makes me feel better when I get hurt.

My mom is the best mom ever!

On Felix

Felix: Inconsolable after waking from his nap.
Beckett: I think Felix misses his dad.

Felix: gabahranoebkju adkh.
Beckett: Felix says baby words.

After all of Felix's naps: Did Felix take ten naps?

Mother's Day Card

My mother is the most wonderful mother in the whole world. She's as pretty as I like. She is 2 and 1 old, and she's 69 - 8 - 7 tall. Her favorite food is salad. In the good old days, when my mom was little, she used to eat little things. I think my mom is funny when she plays toys with me. I like it best when my mom play, "Yes, you can!" with me. I wouldn't trade my mom for rolling a ball!

Happy Mother's Day

Love,
Beckett

On Summer

B: "Is it summer or still winter?" Asked everyday this winter.
B: "Is it summer or still spring?" Asked everyday this spring.

B: Is it summer or still spring?
Me: It's summer vacation.
B: It's summer. I'm sooo happy.
B: It's summer concation.

B: When it's summer I will go camping, potty train, and have my birthday.

Move It Jagger

Beckett loves the "I've Got the Moves Like Jagger" Song. Loves it. Every time it comes on the radio he says, "It's the Move It song. I love this song."

At the playground there is a steering wheel. Beckett pretends he is driving a car to the playground and the "Move It Jagger" song is playing on the radio. It's pretty funny to hear him sing "I got the moves like Jagger. I got the moves like Jagger."

The Potty

B: Dad. I will you use the potty. And you can wipe my bum. That is your job.

B: When your body tells you to go potty you go potty. When your body does not tell you to go potty you still play.

B: Look at that huge pine cone.

B: I love potty songs.

B insists that underwear is for his birthday.

B Says

At the barbershop with Nate
B: "Oh. You guys are two guys."
One of the guys: "And you are one guy."

Upon returning from my exile in the basement, I can hear that Felix is crying upstairs in his room with Caitlin:
"Mom, Mom I am so glad you are here because Felix needs you. FELIX, FELIX Mommy is here. ... I will go get Felix."
He runs upstairs to get his brother. So sweet.

Upon dropping Caitlin off at home:
"Caitlin thanks for coming to my home."

We are in the car taking Caitlin back to her house, and we see Max on his bike.
B: Oh Max's bike have training wheels like mines.
Me: Your bike?
B: My bike is at the tent store. (REI)

Me: Beckett, we need to go pick up Caitlin.
B: I not want to pick up Caitlin.
Me: Why not?
B: Because I need you.
