In his own words

My baby is all grown up and talking like a little kid. He might mush some of the words, but I'm amazed at his sentences.

Last night:
I asked, "Did you help grannie make the meatballs?" (expecting him to say "nuh uh" or "uh huh")
He replied, "I sure did not, she told me not to." (mildly reproachful glance at grannie)

also last night (Gavin has taken to examining me after work):
"Oh, mom, I real real like your purple eyes" *peeling my eyelids back* "Oh, mom! Your eyes are so so red! You're tired!"

and a couple days ago:
"I real real like your breasts, mom. Your breasts look nice in that shirt." *pat pat*

I love my kid.
