That is Levi's favorite number. Don't ask me why or how he came up with it. I think he just likes the sound of it. Some of the extremely cute ways he manages to fit this number into conversation:
Me: "Levi, what did you dream about last night?"
Levi: "A jet flying 161 feet over our house."
Eden: "How much longer until we get to the beach?"
Levi: "161"
Levi: "I will be 161 when I get big."
I'm sure more super cute examples will be coming, so I'll continue this post in 161 minutes...

My Sunshine
Today's Tiny Treasure: Tonight when I was putting Eden to bed, she rolled over during the second verse of You Are My Sunshine and sang with me. When we sang, "I dreamed I held you in my arms", she wrapped her little arm around me and gave me a squeeze. I had one of those heart stopping moments when I wondered if I could ever love anything more than that precious second.
You really have made my sunshine today, sweet Eden!

Levi-isms
Speaking of Levi - I thought I would share a couple of super cute Levi-isms that Scott and I have been enjoying lately.
Drinkie - Used when Levi is thirsty. For example, "Mommy, I'm drinkie."
Speeder - Something or someone is fast. For example, "Mommy, I'm speeder than a cheetah."
Typically I require proper English from my kiddos. But in these instances, I just can't bring myself to correct him. It's just too darn cute. Sorta like him, I guess...

Levi's Bowling Bash!
I've been meaning to add a note about Levi's family birthday celebration for about a week now. I hate that I put it off, because I'm sure there were some tiny little moments from that day that I loved and now can't seem to get back in my head.
One thing is for sure. The boy wanted to bowl! From the second I asked him how he wanted to celebrate his birthday, he had his mind made up. "BOWLING!" In fact, just about every 30 minutes from the time he woke up to the time we hit the lanes, he would ask, "Is it time to go bowling, yet?"
He had left over cake from his Little Gym party for breakfast, P. Terry's for dinner and bowling for dessert! He was a happy, happy boy. Here are a few pictures from our fun day celebrating my little man!

Scenes From Our Day
Cuddles and coffee on the back porch with Eden.
Lollipop flower paintings after breakfast.
Brushing up on our ABC's.
Playing with the snow we saved from our last snow storm.
Setting up our "art show" on the mantel.
Too many tiny treasures to pick just one.

The Poop Holder
The kids were out collecting rollie pollies in the backyard before school this morning. I opened the door to tell them it was time to leave, and here is the conversation I was met with:
Levi: "Mommy, I'm the poop holder."
Me: "What?" Praying I misunderstood him.
Levi: "Eden's the rollie pollie catcher and I'm the poop holder."
Me: "What?" Still trying to process what I'm hearing.
Eden: "Rollie pollie's eat poop." (A little tidbit my husband had shared with them earlier in the morning.)
Me: "Levi, where did you get the poop?" (A little background: our sweet dog went up to doggie heaven a couple months ago and we have been poop free for a while now.)
Eden: "From the old hole Zen used to dig in." (Scott would put poop in the hole to get her to stop digging...it didn't really stop the digging, but apparently the hole did aid in the poop preservation.)
Me: "Levi, please tell me you didn't pick up the poop with your hands."
Levi: No response, but his eyes said it all.
Me: "Both of you, go wash your hands."
Never thought I would post a tiny treasure with a poop theme, but it was too good not to share. I love my little poop holder and his rollie pollie catching sister!
