I seriously cannot get enough of this kid lately. He stays up way too late (and we sleep way too late!), but I don't even want to put him to bed at night because I miss him right away. Every day he makes me laugh and says something to surprise me. It's crazy the rate they learn and pick up on things! I hope he always loves his Momma as much as he does now :) Because he thinks I'm pretty darn cool.
It's so darling to see a nurturing side start to show. Today Gavin hit me in the head with his pacifier and Riley instantly started reprimanding Gavin and said, "Don't hit my momma, Gavin!" Riley then ran over and patted my head and said, "Sorry Momma, it's okay." Then turned and started yelling at Gavin again. Apparently a bossy side too.
If he's away from me for 2 seconds he immediately runs to me and hugs me and says, "I miss you Momma!" I actually think he thinks I miss you= I love you because he says it a lot to me and often out of context.
Riley has also discovered You Tube and spends much of his allowed Iphone/pad time browsing videos of kittens, angry birds, and previews for Ice Age 4. There's a clip of a little girl doing her own narration of a kitten book and he has memorized it and will watch it and repeat the whole thing. It's hilarious. He's also started reading his books back to me (memorizing). I think he's pretty smart myself.
Don't get me wrong, not a day goes by without a couple of Terrible Two's tantrums...but I think it's my favorite age. Again.
And a few pictures....Thanks Jenn for riding the camel so I didn't have to! This is Jayne, Riley's first date back in Gainesville, FL. We've managed to find ourselves together here in Texas again. We are so happy to have the Muir's familiar faces around!
