[Moriah] Ha Ha Ha!

Tonight's random dialogue brought to you by Mini Me. Dada was holding Mini Me, giving him a hug and letting him pull the chain on the ceiling fan to turn out his light for bed when, with Dada's head turned up toward the fan, Mini Me got a glimpse inside Dada's nose, and asked the following:

"Dada, you have raisins in your nose?"

Ah ha ha ha ha haaaaa!!! I nearly fell over. What a hilarious, yet completely curious and serious observation on his part. Ah yes, the great things that come out of childrens' mouths. I love it.

[Moriah] Happy 3rd Birthday, Mini Me!

Today marks the culmination of your third year of life. We are so very proud of you and all that you are. You are such a wonderful, curious, funny, happy, intelligent little boy and we enjoy so much the opportunity to watch you grow. We are so happy you had such a fun birthday. We love you! Happy birthday!

[Moriah] Number Two's Blankie

Tonight we gave Number Two a blanket to sleep with for the first time. He's 19 months old and a big, strong toddler now so we thought, especially with the weather getting colder, that he's ready for his first blankie. When I laid him down on his back in bed like usual, I started to pull up the blanket over him while announcing to him excitedly that he gets to have a blankie tonight. He stopped squirming around and stared up at me with a huge smile on his face. Then, he turned over onto his stomach, curled up into a ball and started sucking on his fingers as I tucked the blanket around his shoulders. He looked so adorable just laying there curled up into a little ball, all cozy-looking under the blanket. And the cutest thing was he didn't move at all after I covered him up. He simply lay there as if thinking, ahhhh, so cozy warm. I wish I could have gotten a picture, but I didn't want to disturb him. It was so adorable, though. So, congratulations, Number Two, on reaching yet another milestone. :)
