point to the...

last night clint was reading to pratt while i sat in the chair exhausted.

i don't know why, but i'm so tired lately. no, i'm not pregnant. i promise.

i don't know what it is. wait...yes, i do. i need to exercise. but i can't find the time. i mean, it's there...i don't want to find it, i guess. yes, that's it.

anyway. i'm tired. so clint is reading to him. it's one of his favorite books. a picture book. and pratt is sitting in clint's lap. and clint does something that i haven't done. i'm embarrassed to say....

he says, "point to the butterfly, pratt."

and i'm thinking, "omg. no way. no way. how have i missed doing this!?"

and yes. the kid looks at each page...and ever so carefully, reaches down and point at the butterfly.

I FLIP OUT! like jeff lewis, flip out. start clapping and screaming! telling clint he is the smartest kid ever. all those annoying parent things.

here are a few pictures. and yes, he's clapping for himself in the first picture.







he knew deer, butterfly, cat, dog, duck. cow, horse. fish. and maybe some others. i can't remember. i'll have to get it on video. it's so cute!

have wonderful tuesdays! a great night for hot cocoa and a fire!

About Me

My photo
i'm a girl who likes to write. not a girl that's necessarily good at writing. it's cathartic, i think. and boy do i need that from time to time. i married a wonderful man named clint in may of 2007. he is everything i am not. he is calm. he makes plans. he is organized. his truck is always clean. his clothes are hung by types of shirt/color/size/etc. i'm full of nervous energy. i'm spur of the moment. i can't ever find what i'm looking for. we live in my car...pretty much. i'm lucky if my clothes are within ten feet of my closet. God gave us a precious angel of a baby in september of 2008. his name is pratt allen. he is 2.5 years old.we have another little one on the way. his name is max wesley. and he is due may 19th. somehow i'll be the mother of two boys. craaaaa.zy. i spend my days cleaning house. picking worms and caterpillars out of the flower beds. cooking meals. shopping at target. washing clothes. playing on the floor. reading books. doing puzzles. traveling to sonic. and the library. and blogging. i hope you enjoy our blog. feel free to leave a comment. hopefully it's a nice one. i tend to wear my heart on my sleeve.
