I just wanted to give you a little glimpse of how my sweet Jeremiah's mind sees things...

He and I were sitting on the couch and Joshua came up to us much like in this picture (much like he always does):

Jeremiah giggled and said, "Joshua is coming to get us!" I jokingly played dumb and said "Where?!" and Jeremiah replied, "Right there! Under the lamp!" Can you see the lamp in the background? When holding this image as a print in your hand, you can describe that, yes, Joshua is under the lamp. But in real life, the lamp is too far away to be seen that way, right? Not to Jeremiah. He has always viewed things this way. Isn't that amazing? I will never forget the first time I noticed this. Jeremiah had just turned 2 and drew some pretty amazing things. A friend of mine told him to draw her coffee mug and he drew it with and oval for the top opening, at the exact angle it was on the desk to him. I know many adults in art classes that cannot get this concept still! This kid blows my mind everyday and I love to see things through his eyes.


Mommy Moment:

Have you ever done this? Be honest!

Someone is going through that clingy stage where if mommy disappears from his sight he freaks out. I ducked behind the table to pick something up off the floor and you would have thought I left him at the mall! He went nuts and even Daddy couldn't get him calmed down until he saw me again. And he clung to my neck like he'd never let go! You remember this stage? Well, whiney-butt was extra fussy so I took him with me to get the laundry. It's not easy to hold him on your hip while getting clothes from the dryer and our stuff is in the garage and I wasn't exited about setting him on the floor so I put him in one of his top ten places to be - in the laundry basket. Then I loaded him up with towels and we ventured back inside. A good time was had by all...
