Say What?

Two nights ago, while we lay in bed finishing up our stories, Bear and I were talking about all the new things that Squirrel could say. We then started to ask Squirrel to say them.

I asked him to say cookie, and he replied, with a huge goofy grin "kiki". I asked him to say Big Bird and he replied "Bee Bir". I asked him to say bath and he giggled and said "baff". Bear started to wiggle and bounce and said "I have one, I have one. Squirrel, say Darth Sidious". Squirrel smile slowly spread to a gigantic grin and he said "Dar Seh-e-us". We laughed so hard we could hardly breathe and Squirrel just sat there grinning.

That night as I watched them fall asleep, I fell in love with them again. I can't believe how much they have both grown. It seems like just a few nights ago I was nursing Bear to sleep, as God knit Squirrel together in my womb. Time goes so fast. Why can't I pause it?

Thinking about being pregnant reminds me of something Bear asked me a few months ago. He asked "So Mama, how'd Squirrel get inside you anyway? Did you swallow him?"

Out of the mouth of babes!
