"I want..." and "I Love You"

Being two, and just over 21 lbs comes with its disadvantages! Today, for the first time - Whit expressed an interest in "unnawears" (as Chap calls pull ups). I was changing the boys this morning, and Whit said.. "I want unnawears!" (Of course - he pronounced it just like Chap). I have done a mega online and store search for pull ups that would fit him. However, most toddlers ready for pull ups weigh more that he does. We have given them a try - but after a bit - they end up at his knees, with his shorts and all!

Being two, and having a sister that loved Bob the Builder pj's when she was two, comes with its perks! Chap gets the hand-me-downs and LOVES them. They do come in second best to his "train" P.J.s, but when those are dirty - "I want Bob!"

Being two, and getting the hand-me-downs last because of size also comes with its disadvantages. Whit's first choice of P.J.s are a pair with a car on them. Every night, "I want car shirt!" And that is not an exaggeration. He wore them the last two nights in a row, and I couldn't do it another night. So, as we were in their room - gathering P.J.s for the night - Chap did his usual order of selections. When the choice was "Bob!", Whit decided he wanted "Bob" too. After all, it did have four wheelers on it! "I want four wheeler!" But, he had to settle for an alligator and a lion. A far cry from the "cool" P.J.s

So, after a day of "I wants.... " from Whit - which usually doesn't bother him, all were in bed. A little while after Maggie went to bed, she opened her door and whispered..."Mommy..." I looked at her and she was holding up her hand. Through the darkness, I couldn't see what she was showing me. I asked her what it was. She grinned and gently said, "I Love You!" She was signing I Love You to me. With no further conversation, she closed the door and went back to bed.... in pink P.J.s... although she still loves her Bob the Builder, size 5-T ones!
