A few things about our favorite toddler around here.
He changes so quickly that something that is an every day huge part of life could disappear in a month, and we’d all forget about it. Just the other day Tom and I were talking about how E used to “hide” things behind his ear when he was younger - something he doesn’t do anymore. So I’m leaving this here so I can better remember this moment of life.

Phrases
”Too silly!” or “So silly!” - When he thinks something is funny, often in a book, he’ll point to the page and say this while laughing.
“Bees in my eyes” - When his eye hurt (maybe an eyelash?) he tells us there’s bees in his eyes, or occasionally a vacuum in his eye. Usually while rubbing his eye and crying.
”Oh so noise!” - Anytime anything makes even the quietest noise.
When I was pregnant and we'd walk through Target looking at baby clothes, Tom was always drawn to the socks. He'd talk about one day possibly having matching socks with E. Somehow when I was looking for Christmas presents this year, I stumbled upon Happy Socks and fell in love. They come in awesome designs, they have sizes (not just one size fits most) so they actually fit Tom (!), AND they have matching baby socks!!
