These day's Canyon is obsessed with AIRPLANES. He spends a lot of his day with arms out "swooshing" around the house like an airplane. He loves it when Gary and I join in.
He is learning to pray. He folds his arms, bows his head (peaking to make sure we are doing the same) mumbles, then victoriously says "AMEN." He is often the one to remind us to bless our dinner.
He is quite a helper. He loves to work right next to me and Gary, whether it be folding clothes, doing dishes, making dinner. He especially loves to feed Nitro and Lola.
He loves his DAD. He loves to play and rough house, go on adventures, tickle his tummy, eat popcorn and watch cartoons with Gary. They are already good friends.
He gives perfect kisses and lots of them. He puckers and hits you right on the lips. He will kiss you over and over and over, until your heart is completely melted into mush. (He sees his mom and dad kiss, and he gets lots of kisses too -I am so happy he knows about kisses)
Every night before bed he likes to read a Dinosaur book, be told "Good night little Dino" after which he smiles and growls like a Dinosaur. He also asks for a song before we leave the room. His favorites from me are Amazing Grace & Three Little Birds (Bob Marley) and from Gary, You Are My Sunshine & Give Said the Little Stream.
He has learned to say "la you" (love you), frequently says "tan too" (thank you), and rarely says "peese" (please).
When he says "mama" and he thankfully he does a lot, I turn to puddy. He sweeps me off my feet and takes me to his world in a split second. We play, dance, clean and laugh. He makes my day.
