It was a beautiful day and we had lots of fun looking at animals, jumping on hay stacks, and going through the corn maze. We decided to skip the hayride to the pumpkin patch, because there was a crazy, long line! Seth told the kids, "I will stop by Wal-mart and get you all pumpkins!" I thought that was hilarious. They were good sports about the whole thing.
We all met back at our house to celebrate Sawyer's third birthday! I asked him about a week ago, "Sawyer, what kind of birthday party do you want?" He looked at me with gritted teeth and replied, "A Dinosaur Party!" Later Savannah told me, he got that from Peppa Peg, which is his favorite cartoon!
So a dinosaur party is what we had! We love this little guy to pieces. He is definitely the baby of the family and everyone caters to him. He is so affectionate with everyone. He likes to give lots of hugs and kisses. He thinks Landon is the best thing ever! He calls him his buddy and they play together so well.
Let's see, what are some things he says right now?
"mommy, I love you all the time!"
"well, you don't have to be so mean!"
"mommy, can I marry you?"
"mommy, you mean!"
"close your eyes, keep them closed.... Surprise!!!"
On the potty, "mommy, I'm done!" I go into the bathroom and every, single time he has his hands over his eyes and then says, "peek-a-boo!"
In the car, "mommy, did you get my blankie?" "No, Sawyer I forgot your blanket" "Well, mommy, you suppose to get it every time!"
He calls all of his siblings by their name, except for Savannah. She is still called, "girl."
If he is asleep when I leave, he meets me at the door and says, "mom, you not suppose to leave me! I didn't give you a kiss!"
He starts the night off sleeping in his bed, but ends up, on the floor, beside our bed most nights.
Awe.. he says so many cute things. He makes us laugh, a lot. He speaks so clearly and in complete sentences, must be a 4th child thing. He thinks he is just as big as every one else and wants to do everything they are doing. He is completely potty trained and wakes up dry! He must have gotten the Clayton gene, thank goodness!
He loves to pick up anything moving. I swear, the boy would pick up a snake! He has brought me so many scary critters.
He loves riding his bike. Why, of course he does. He is following in his daddy's footsteps.
He has Seth's personality. He is very particular about things. He does not like leaving something unfinished. He cleans up after himself. He loves to play in mud, but doesn't like to stay dirty for long. He loves taking a shower. He will take of his shoes, and ask for a wipe so he can clean the bottom of his feet.
I could go on and on about him!
I love him so much and I'm so happy I am his mom!
Happy Birthday Sawyer!
