The Big White Farmhouse

intentional living, little by little

August 10, 2011

{i want to remember} – 8/10/11

Sometimes life gets so busy that I forget to notice and appreciate the little things.  Here are some of the things I am loving this week:
 
I WANT TO REMEMBER… how D is calling everybody “big guy” after hearing his Daddy call him that for so long.

I WANT TO REMEMBER… how M’s idea of “cleaning” is shoving all of his toys into one corner of the room.  He’s just so proud though when he shows me – I don’t have the heart to correct him!

I WANT TO REMEMBER… how J babbles to himself as he plays.  He has lots to say!

I WANT TO REMEMBER… D and his “pow-ahs” (powers).  He takes two receiving blankets and swings them around in the air, declaring, “Watch out for me supah powahs!”  Reason #1000 why having little boys in the house is AWESOME!

I WANT TO REMEMBER… how among the long list of what he wants to be when he grows up, M wants to be a “Police Department-er”.  🙂

I WANT TO REMEMBER… how incredibly great it is to hear the beginnings of brother conversations.  D is really talking and expressing himself lately and the big boys have been coming up with some great games and adventures.  The latest convo overheard while building with blocks:

D: Whatchu makin’?  I makin’ a robot.
M: I’m making a tower.
D: Cool dude!

My cup runneth over.
