My Boy Makes Me Smile

Traveling for work has proven to be a bit tough for me. I just miss my boys.

Or maybe I don't like sitting in a hotel room all night, with a laptop on my lap and Honey Boo Boo on TV.

Whatever the case, for some reason I was having a rough go of it last night and this morning...until I got this.

Without further adieu, my boy singing me the sweetest, albeit off key, serenade of "You Are My Sunshine."

You guys, seriously. That voice? How cute is that?

Little Helper

Cruz continues to play the copycat game and just loves mirroring what his daddy and mama do. Case in point is his obsession with the trash can these days. Everything...I mean everything goes into the trash. Generally, it's the right stuff. Even better when we are feeling lazy and can send HIM to throw away a napkin or water bottle.

What's not cool? Finding toys, hair products, pens, nail polish and more in the trash. Even one of my shoes (this kid obviously doesn't know how mama feels about her shoes).

How can you not love his determination here. He found a piece of dog food in the living room (which he more than likely put there in the first place) and makes a big ordeal until one of us acknowledges his find. Then he commits to the trek to the trash can, but not without a quick glance and goober grin toward the camera when he realizes he's being filmed. Love him.

Now if we could just find the remote.....

Laughter IS The Best Medicine

Little Mango was in the BEST mood yesterday...it started off with 9 month pictures in downtown Omaha yesterday morning, then his future "auntie's" wedding shower in the afternoon, followed by dinner with friends last night. He slept all the way home from dinner, but wasn't ready to sleep when we got home. Instead, we played...and laughed, and laughed and played. I adore his laugh.
