Trenton-ISMS

• When I tell you to stop doing something you reply with “I’m not sure Mommy”
• Daddy taught you to say “I’m a mexicano” and you repeat it all the time
• When Mommy says “Stop whining, please” you tell her “No be rude Mommy”
• Anytime you have a boo-boo you tell me “Jacob did it”
• You are very bossy – you tell us “Stay there, I be back”
• When I ask you who did it you say “Tenton did it”
• Every morning on the way to school you ask me “We go Bwady’s house” “We go G’s house” “No school Mommy, I go to Bwady’s”
• Ask almost every 5 minutes “I get cheeseburger Mommy?”
• Call Mosquitoes “Skeeta Bugs”
• Insist on everyone in our house eats a “icesicle” (popsicle) every night

No toys necessary to keep you happy! You love to click cups together at the football games!  You think it’s hilarious to empty your toy box and jump off of it onto your bed! You are 100% boy! You love to eat “Nola bar” and wear your “packpack” to school! Showing off your cute backpack!  I have decided this year to let Trenton pick out his own Halloween costume. I feared he would pick Dora because he LOVES her, but instead he picked Spider Man!

I guess the cute and fuzzy days are over!

  And what morning wouldn’t be complete with out your accessories. You love to wear Mommy’s necklaces and bracelets. It’s ok for now (as long as Dad doesn’t see you)You are growing so fast and learning so much. I hope you always kiss & hug me (even if your friends are around), tell me you love me and never feel embarrassed by me! I know these are all wishful thinking, but you are my sweet boy and I am so blessed to be your Mommy!
