Can I say how smart this kid is?

O.k., I know that I am totally biased by this kid is so smart he just makes me laugh all the time. Last night we were on the way home from picking up Dominic and Sawyer was just being his normal little chatty self. We were asking him about his day and he was asking us about all the things that we passed on our drive. At one point I suggested that we count for daddy so that he could see how smart Sawyer was getting. So we start off, one, two, three and so on. At ten I stop counting with him because I figured we were done. Ten was as high as we had practiced counting in the past. Well I am sure you all know where this is going but that little stink just kept on counting. He made it to twenty and at that point we were just all laughing because we were so surprised and he sound so dang cute.

Another cute thing that he is starting to do is read along with me. One of his favorite books to do this with is, Go Dog Go. His little voice is so sweet especially when he reads along in the little sing song rhythm we use. He acts like such a big boy when he is turning the pages and when he is done he hops right up and puts the book right back on the shelf. He also loves his book, Visiting the Firehouse. He loves to tell me all the parts of the fire engine, all about the firefighters uniform and of course, wait for it..... STOP, DROP, and ROLL.

Sawyer is such a tenderhearted little boy, he is all about defending you if he feels someone is being mean or yelling. He will throw up his little hand and say, "Stop, bad, bad ____! You no be mean to____!" He is always really concerned if you are hurt. He will offer kisses and hugs and ask you if you are alright or better. He always asks, "You need doctor to fix it??" This is probably an indicator that we spend way to much time with the doctor. My poor little guy is always fighting one bug or another (oh, the pitfalls of daycare). Sickness aside we are so lucky to have a great lady who watches Sawyer for us. Her name is Eliza and she is so kind and loving. Sawyer is always happy to see her and snuggle with her and get his hugs and kisses. He has many wonderful friends there and I always feel good knowing that he is somewhere being loved, having fun, and learning new things. We are very lucky!
