A Moses Update!

With all this pregnancy talk and being sick I have really neglected updating on Moses. He changes so much every day! He is really becoming a big boy. He still loves a lot of the same things. Thanks to his daddy, he is still a big NC State fan. We had one week back in November when he went to two basketball games and a football game in one week. He will say "That's the Wolfpack! Go, go Stake!" No that is not a misspelling, he says stake! The band will play the fight song and when they are done he'll yell "Try again!" That's what he does whenever he wants you to do things over and over again
Probably his favorite thing to do is play. It doesn't matter what! He loves play grounds, running in circles and driving trucks all around the house. He still loves his potato head and anything that he can build. I think school has instilled a love of puzzles in him. He will do the same one over and over and over again. In fact he treats most toys like puzzles. Something to put together and then take a part and rebuild.
The thing we are enjoying the most is Moses' ability to communicate with us. His vocabulary is just SO large now. You can really carry on a conversation with him. I love when he wakes up in the morning and comes in our room and says, "Whatcha doing Mommy?" He's always asking us to "Come sit!" so we can play with him. Just last week he started asking the question every mother dreads, "Why?" It was like a light turned on and he needs an explanation for everything. Luckily I was talking to Brett's Aunt Melissa and she gave me a GREAT response to this inquiry. I just look at him and say "Why do you think?" It works SO well. A lot of times he will answer me with a pretty good response or he will think about it. He also says the sweetest things. He will tell me I look pretty or he things the Christmas tree or a bouquet of flowers is pretty. His manners are also great. Please, thank you and excuse me are used all the time. Although anything using an excuse me is sometime said while laughing.

Moses is still loving school. He is so excited to go and talks about his friends. His loves his teachers and they love him too. He can recognize almost all his shapes and can count to 6 (7 - 10) gets a little muddled. He will count objects as well. The alphabet is not going as well. He'll say A, B, C sometimes to begin the song but he'll always answer A or B if we ask him what a letter is. He sometimes refers to them as his "Baby C's." His memory is also great. He still talks about things that happened months ago.

As far as his love for Buzz Lightyear and "Super Goof" they have only grown. He will count and yell "Blast off!" He will also tell us that he is super speedy and super strong. He is also loving robots and trucks and loves to make noises to help act out the trucks driving.

After rereading this it seems Moses is just total boy which is true. But he is a sweet one! I am thinking that he will be a great big brother and teach his little brother all sorts of things!
