His Usual Antics

We found a dandelion by the garden

 He had to taste it first

 Then make wishes and watch them float away.

I love, love, love this little boy of mine! I am so blessed to be his mom. He's a little explorer, teaser, climber, and so independent. I love that he wants to do things by himself. He has blessed my and Stephen's lives beyond what we had imagined. Zander loves it when daddy comes home and gives him a big kiss. He like to play with mommy in the afternoon and climb all over me. I throw him on the beanbag, swing him around, chase him up the stairs, and take him outside in the yard to explore; those are some of his favorite things.

His latest thing is wanting to stand up by himself. In church, he'll stand on the bench and throw both his arms in the air like "Look at me!" to the people sitting behind us with a huge grin on his face. I was surprised to see that he was daring enough to do that while in a shopping cart as I was pushing it. He looked like he was surfing for a while with one arm barely holding on, until he caught his balance and stood without help. He's such a stud!
