Toddler

My toddler has but a handful of words, and the things he does say melt me. He says "Mom" clearly enough that I often think it is one of his brothers calling me, and "Dank do" (thank you) anytime I hand him something. Until recently, it was all "Dad" and "Hi Dad" and so on.

We just bought a house at the end of last month. We now have a microwave and a dishwasher (like I've been living in the Dark Ages over here) and it took Mike just a few days to realize that the microwave makes popcorn, which is the greatest thing ever.

He is so happy to have room to wander and explore. The sandbox in the back and just oh so much space, he is having a lot of fun with his brothers.
