Parker Mayes

I really should be sleeping right now, but I wanted to type out a few things about my little man that I want to remember. He can say the funniest, sweetest things sometimes. He can also be a Mr. Smarty Pants, but I choose to remember the sweet and funny things!

He is so friendly, and I love that about him. He will usually talk to people even if he doesn't know them. The other day at the dr's office while we were waiting at the lab, he decided he wanted to sit beside this elderly lady. I said down on the other side of him, and he talked and talked to her about everything that was happening in the waiting room. It was so cute. She didn't understand half of what he said, but she was so sweet to listen and entertain him. Her husband came in a few minutes later and sat on the other side of me. I offered for us to move, but he didn't want that. Parker made his way quickly to the husband. He sat down in the seat so proudly and looked up at him and smiled. The man asked what his name was, and Parker said "Parker Mayes Stephen". Which is his name, but he got his middle name and last name mixed up. But hey, he knew his full name. Then, this is the first time he's ever done this, he said "what's your name?" The man told him his name was James, and Parker quickly told him he had a train named James. Such a sweet little moment to see him engaging in conversation like that.

I love to hear him talk to his sister. He has heard us say things, so he will say things like look at those tiny fingers, hey precious, good morning sunshine, and of course I love you Chloe.

He also has many conversations with his stuffed animals in his room.

He will try to repeat things that Brent and I are talking about and it's hilarious to hear his version of it.

He likes to name the Braves players now. He loves to talk about "Pinske" being in the outfield!

He comes to my room every morning (if he's not already snuck in in the middle of the night) and tells me the sun is up so it's time to get out of bed.

He loves to tell me what girls can't do, but boys can. He will say "that's dangerous for girls mommy" or "that's dangerous for you, but not for boys".

I know there are a million other things, but I will post more when I can think of them all. I just wanted to get some of them down before I forget everything!

I love that little guy so much.
