Alexisms

• "Rainbows! I wish I had a rainbow at my house...."
• We were at preschool getting him registered last week. His new teacher says,"Give me one minute to grab the paperwork." Alex says under his breath very seriously,"I don't know how to do paperwork yet..." Eileen and I could not stop laughing. It was so serious.
• To Uncle Bob,"You can take the baby to your house tonight."
• Anyone that asks,"What is your baby sister's name?" His response...Greg.
• "Mom, you carry me?" He is very ready for me to be healed and be able to lift him again.
• For a while now many of his sentences have started with ,"Last weekend..." Even though we never did what he mentions at all or last weekend.

He refuses to let us cut his hair. He looks like Alfalfa. Adjusting to being the middle child has had its challenges but he is doing really well. I try to be mindful of taking time to cuddle him on my lap or snuggle longer in bed. Stopping when he talks to me and looking at him so he knows that I am listening to him. We just love him!
