Michael's Preschool Pictures

Here's why they should hire real photographers to do school pictures:

I just love this little boy. I hope when he's taller than I am that I'll remember the days we've spent together, just us, while Douglas naps and the girls are in school. September and October just flew by, and I don't see it slowing down in the near future. In the picture below, I was making "witch hat" rolls for our Halloween dinner and saved some of the dough out for Michael. He loves to help in the kitchen, and is good at cracking eggs, measuring ingredients, and loves turning on the mixer. Earlier that day, he noticed my painted fingernails (which hardly ever happens) and said, "Wow, Mom! I didn't know you could do that all by yourself!" He then asked for a marshmallow, and when I said he could have one, he jumped up and down shouting "YESSS!" He is just about the sweetest boy I could imagine. He broke a bowl this morning and said, "I'm sorry, Mom," then gave me a kiss and said, "Are you happy now?" At least three times a day, he asks if I can "nuggle" with him on the couch. It's hard to resist!
