Is He Cute or What?

Dillon really likes to play Art's "playtar", as Dillon calls the guitar. The other night he was playing and wanted to play me a song. He made up his own music and words. He was so cute! On days like today (when he was just crazy boy) I must remember that he is a sweet cute boy most of the time.



The other day he wasn't falling asleep for his nap and I went back into his room to tell him to stop talking so he could fall asleep. (Doesn't the boy understand that the yapper must be quiet in order to fall asleep?!) Anyway, he stood up and gently put his hand under my chin and said, with the biggest puppy dog eyes, "mommy don't you want to rock?" Now how can I say no to that?

Dillon is starting to play much better by himself and pretend with all his new toys. He is counting up to 12 and knows a few of the numbers in Spanish. He'll "ready" books out loud or sing along to his many toys that make noise. He is talking a lot (drives us crazy some days, I've been told that Art was very talkative when he was little) and talks very fast sometimes. So fast that we have no idea what he is saying. He is figuring out "how to play the game". You know when it is bed time and they keep asking for one more thing...or when you say "take one more bite" they take one teeny tiny bite, but hey it was a bite. He is a bit to smart for his own good!

We think he is finally understanding that he is going to have a new baby brother soon. Although for the most part Art has really confused him. The other day I was out shopping and apparently Art told Dillon that mommy and baby brother were going to be home soon. When I came through the door Dillon was still looking for baby brother, poor guy was totally confused! We also have gotten some things for the baby and Dillon is waiting each day for baby brother to come over and play. I think he is in for a big surprise. :) But he is excited for baby brother to come so that is good, lets just hope is lasts!
