Lately

Just a few things I don't want to forget.  The other day you told your dad "Bless You" out of the blue when he sneezed.  Made us smile.
We were running late b/c you actually slept until 7:05 the other AM so ate your cheese toast on the way to school.  I gave you half and drove off.  I hear from the back seat "Mommy! Mommy! It's boken. CHEE TOE BOKEN"  And I turned around to find your half in two pieces b/c you tore it apart, so I guess yes, your chee toe was in fact boken. :)
You picked up my phone and held it out and said "Cheese" like you were taking a selfie.  Intern and I cracked up.
If we say the words "In the name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit" you immediately follow up with "AMEN"
When the sun is in your eyes you yell "HOT! HOT!"  Not bright.  Love it.
That's a little of lately.

Two years ago yesterday.....

Was your due date. Yep, you were actually due on 9-11-12.  Obviously that didn't happen, but it definitely gave a new positive on that date that is stuck in our heads and hearts as one of the scariest things to have lived through.  I actually was living in London at the time and was at work when we received word about the first plane crashing into the twin towers.  I thought it was a joke honestly.  Soon did I realize when they evacuated us that this was anything but a joke.  Working in the financial district in the heart of London, they were scared and nervous they could possibly be next.  Who knows with crazy right?  I spent the next few days completely oblivious to what was going on at home, only following what I could on TV, but not being able to really get in touch with anyone.  One of the scariest things ever.  I'm so glad I have you to always think about on 9-11, how it was going to now be one of the happiest days of my life had that been your b-day.....but it will always be your due date.  Two years ago yesterday.
