Wovey

K likes to come in and snuggle when he wakes up in the morning (and sometimes in the middle of the night). Last weekend he climbed into my bed with his lovey (wovey) and snuggled for a few minutes before getting up and leaving the room. He came back a minute later and handed me a lovey (not the same one - he has many) and said "Here go mama." He climbed back into the bed and said "Snuggle wovey, mama." He's such a delightful little boy.

Screwdriver

I love reading about the kids adventures at school. K's note for January 5, 2016 read:

Kieran took the toy flat head screwdriver and placed it over a real screw and lifted the screwdriver up and said, "It's stuck now" (Referring to what he was screwing into the floor).

Open Wide

K's current favorite song is "My Pigeon House" which he calls "Open Wide." He comes to me requesting it while trying to interlace his fingers. He's getting pretty good at it, but still sometimes needs reminders. He's very meticulous and wants to get the finger interlace just right. He also wants to get the thumb lock on the flying pigeon just right. When he isn't satisfied with his finger position he interrupts the song with "need help." As soon as we finish he says "'gain" and tries to get me to sing it over and over and over. I love that he's so excited the song and so determined to figure out the gestures. It must be so good for his fine motor skills and his little fingers are so cute! He also very much enjoys "Wheels on the Bus" and "Here's a Ball for Baby."

Compliment

This morning T told me, "Mom, you're not so bad at making egg sandwiches" - This was his way of complimenting my cooking skills. He really liked the egg sandwich (and so did K who complimented me by eating it).

Not hot

Another note from K's teachers at daycare today:
"K was eating his mac and cheese at lunch, when the child next to him said, 'Too hot. Don't want.' K informed the child, 'Not hot. Just warm. Eat. Good. Mac and cheese' as he placed a spoonful in his mouth."

Where 'W' go?

K's teachers at school always write a little note about something he did during the day. On November 24, 2015 we got:
K was putting the alphabet puzzle together and could not locate the letter 'W'. He went to every child and asked, "Where 'W' go?" Finally he located it on the floor.

Grape the Great

The following dialogue occurred at the dinner table a few weeks ago (I quickly scribbled it on a post it and only just found it again).
T to The Scoot: "You're the pizza."
T to Me: "You're the waffle and I'm the grape."
Me: "Does the waffle eat the grape?"
T: "No, the grape rides the waffle and the grape eats the pizza.
