Little Boy Stuff

Because Amy blogs every day she often blogs about the things in my life before I've had a chance to.

But, at the risk of repeating things she's already said, Jareth did some of the cutest things yesterday.

He's definitely watching what we do and trying to be like us. Yesterday Amy and I were snacking on chips and salsa. Clear Tupperware bowl of white chips, small glass dish of salsa (a bit orange in color...the relevancy is coming). Knowing he'd want to munch on stuff if we were, and knowing he doesn't chew chips all that well, we set him up with snacks of his own. Clear Tupperware bowl of white crackers, small little plastic dish of kid-friendly fruit snacks, largely orange.

He saw us dipping our white chips into the bowls of orange-ish stuff, and then I saw that he was dipping his crackers into his little bowl before eating them. Too cute.

And he's drinking from his sippy-cup by himself again, which he had stopped doing for a while. Sometimes he wants to be pampered, sometimes he wants to be independent. But yesterday he even started putting it back on a coaster, just like we do with our drinks.

And yesterday morning, while we were all hanging out on the bed waking up Mommy, I was massaging part of her back that'd been troubling her. A couple of times Jareth came over and rubbed her back, too.

So yesterday we all played and kept getting to say, "Oh, that's sooo cute!"

After my post on Quick Shtick Writing I'll go wake up Amy and then we'll get Jareth up. Who knows what today will bring...
