I just wanted to write down a few things about James so that I don't forget them.
At night, we read 1-2 books before bed. Recently James wants me to sing the books. If I start reading them, he will realize it once we get through the first few pages and say "no mommy, sing the book to me!".
He also wants me to sing him songs before bed. (stalling tactics) He says "sing me the temple song" and I sing I love to see the Temple. Then it's "sing the other Temple song", so I sing Families can be Together Forever". I try to cut him off after 2, but everyone once in a while he can get me to sing Sweet Baby James. This one can get me a little teary eyed because my baby James is growing up so fast.
He has become quite bossy lately. Maybe I am rubbing off on him since I am constantly saying, put that away, time to go potty, don't push your brother, eat one more bite, etc. I do say please most of the time and make sure he says please before he gets anything he is asking for.
He is learning to have manners and instead of saying NO flat out when we ask him to do something, he says "No thank you".
Time to eat James: No thank you
Time to go potty: No thank you
Time for a bath: No thank you.
you get the idea.
No beware of TMI here. I have stopped nursing and well... things have changed in my body. I was telling Haws about how certain parts have shrunk (just in case he hadn't noticed). Later that evening I was getting in the shower with James (time saver) and he says "oh no mommy, you have BIG boobies! I want to see them!". Oh no... what is happening here??? I didn't know how to respond at the moment, so I just said "thank you James, but lets not say that anymore. Those are mommy's private parts." To which he replied. "Ok mom, but I like your big boobies". Ugh. They start so young!
James is really into giving things names. We will be looking at a book and their will be pictures of animals. He will point to one and say "what is his name?" and I will say it's a bear or whatever it is and he says "No, what's his NAME?" to which I make up some name. Bob the bear, GG the Giraffe Daffy the Duck.
One more I can think of right now that makes me laugh is when we are doing something and he doesn't like what is coming next, he says "that is not what happens" or "that is not happening right now". Where does he get these things? I know there are more, but this is all I can think of right now.

I have to share something that's made me smile the last two weeks. You have had to take a crying baby out each of these two weeks, and James immediately notices you've left the bench. Before Haws can do anything, James walks out into the isle and you can hear him very quietly say, "Mommy, where are you going?" as he runs after you. It is SO cute.
