You're the coolest kid around, buddy.  I swear you are.  I love so many things about you, but here are some of the things I love right now.

I love that...

• you want cookies at 3 am.
• you can spot a semi-truck a half mile away.  i'm jealous of your eyesight, dude.
• you say 'tractor ride' 250 times a day.
• you run full force to your daddy when he gets home.
• you want ice cubes in your milk.
• sometimes when i turn around you've unscrewed your sippy lid and there's a puddle of water on the floor - you say "oh no!"
• you scoot your chair up to the counter to watch me cook.  but you also pull bananas off their bunches, peel garlic, push down the toaster...
• you smile with my diamond ring bling blinging out of your teeth.  (true story)
• you will cuddle with me and watch TV.
• you can sit and watch and episode of wow wow wubzy on youtube and give your mommy 12 minutes of blissful peace.  thanks, sweetheart.
• you aren't afraid of anything.
• you repeat things i say.  for instance, "right here bud!" or "hey cutie!"  it sounds so much better in your voice.
• you love being outside just like your mom & dad.
• you put your butt up to the faucet in the bathtub and let the water run down your back.
• when i say there's a baby in my belly, you pat your belly too.
• you love me as much as i love you.
