Two Lunches
Tomorrow is the first day at the boys "school".
This will be Cannon's last year at this "school". Its not really a "school". They do have a curriculum and Cannon has learned so much, but he only goes 2 days a week for 8 hours. Next year, the plan is that he will go to a "real" school for his Pre-K/K4. I cannot believe that this is my last year with him before he is gone 4-5 days a week. How did he grow up so fast?
I know very soon I will be looking at a high school graduate. Everyone says that their childhood goes by so fast. How can 18 years be fast? Trust me I know it is. It seems like only yesterday we were blessed with this sweet boy, but he is very close to being 4 years old.
This little boy so desperately wants to be BIG and I just want to keep him little. I just want to savor these times with him.
Sutton will start "school" tomorrow for the first time. I still cannot believe I actually layed out his clothes, packed his backpack and his lunchbox. Up until tonight I still wasn't sure if I was going to take him and as I write this I am wondering...
He is such a baby to me and to little to be away from Mommy a whole 8 hours a week. I want to hold on to the "baby" in him, keep him small, close.
Give me the noise, the chaos, the mess, the piles of laundry, the sink full of dishes, the cookies crushed all over the kitchen floor, the jelly ground into the carpet, the yelling. Give me this and all the cuddles and snuggles and kisses and love. Give me more, more, more...I know all to soon that my home will be to quiet.

What?
Tonight after our parenting class we wen to Subway. We have been learning a lot mainly about the future and setting expectations now.
So while we are eating, Brett looks over at Cannon and says "Just so we are clear, you are not getting a cell phone until you are 16, you are not getting a facebook page until you are 16 and you are not dating until you are 17. Are we clear?"
Cannon looked at him and with the cutest most confused face said, "What, Daddy?"
You may not think this is funny but the moment was priceless. Brett and I just laughed at loud.
But we WERE serious. :)

Cute Cannonisms
Today, "Mommy, you are getting on my nerves!" And of course, I laughed instead of correcting him. I deserve it, he learned it from me.
"Oh man!" has become a phase that Cannon uses often anytime there is nothing he doesnt want to do or if something is happening that he doesn't want to happen.
Before naptime/bedtime, as we walk up stairs he ALWAYS says "can i watch a little bit of a show".
Someone asked what he was going to be when he grew up, he said, "A Tennis Man".

15 Months
Yes, this babe is 15 months old and just in case you do not get the idea from these pictures...he is ADORABLE!
He is so fun, so rotten and so sweet.
Weight 24 pounds 6 oz - ONLY 50th percentile!!
Height 2 feet and 7.7 inches -75th percentile
About the Babe:
He prays. He will put his hands together and say "pray" before meals and sometimes a random times. So cute.
He sings. He can do motions to "Twinkle, Twinkle" and "Itsy Bitsy Spider". He LOVES music.
He knows tons of animal sounds: quack, moo, meow, woof, baa, roar, growl. He also makes a cute fishy face.
He signs "more", "nurse", "food" , " all done", "more", "car", "light", "airplane" and "fan". Probably a few I am forgetting. I really wish I had taught him more he really seems to think it is great to sign.
He LOVES books. He will jsut pick book after book for naptime and bedtime. He says "book, book, rea". He has favorites: "What Do You Say?", "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom", some crazy Alligator Puppet Book (I will check the name), and several touch and feel books. He also loves several books with "real" pictures of people, animals, things, etc.
LOVES the cats and they are very tolerate of him, more so that Cannon.
He LOVES to give kisses, high fives, and hugs.
He also is a hitter! He hits poor Cannon ALL THE TIME. I think Cannon is scared of this little guy. He will just randomly hit him with whatever object is in his hand.
And TANTRUMS! Oh my! I do not remember Cannon ever just throwing himself on the floor. Sutton does it quite often. He will hit(me) when he doesn't get his way, pout, cry and just be rotten.
And with that being said, he is still such a sweet, happy and content little person.
Sutton is the smartest little thing. He really seems to pick up things so easily. I wonder if that is just a second born thing? He is very observant and will do things that I never thought he could. He is great at following directions and understands so many things when we ask him questions. I will say things not expecting a response and he will shakes his head and say "yeah" or "yep".
He LOVES Brett's Lipton Diet Green Tea. YES, I have told Brett he should not have it and its still this thing they do. :)
He is a joy, a blessing and he are so honored that we are his family!
