Today after picking Tyler up from daycare I used the promise of chalk to lure him away from playing driver in the front seat of the car (this endeavor would be endless if left up to him). By the time we got to the house he seemed to forget about the promise and the devilish side of me did contemplate not reminding him since it was 90+ degrees outside. But I thought better of it and broke out the sidewalk chalk. I held open the bag and asked Tyler what color he wanted. He ran over saying, "I want blue!" We had a great time coloring the entire walkway. His slightly younger neighbor Madeline even came over to join in the fun.
Tyler picked a flower (really a weed) and gave it to me. I asked if he could pick one for Madeline and he eagerly did so. When he saw what a big deal we made about it, he promptly ran back over and over again to deliver more flowers to Maddie. He knows how to woo them already! :)
Later that evening he wanted to hug Daddy, who was cooking in the kitchen. He ran up with his arms extended and said, "I want Dah!" I'm enjoying the "I wants" while they are still so sweet.
