lello cars and fun fun fanwich

oh, lil. how have i let this time slip away? i often compose blog entries (in my mind) filled with charming lil anecdotes that i believe i will never forget. but here we are in october, in a new home. and you have learned to say "sponge bob squarepants" even though i tell you it was cuter when you said "fun fun fanwich." you still say "mom, us is goin' to the new house?" and i still reply "yes, us is goin'." i just can't bear to correct you yet. i don't want to lose this time of innocence and counting "lello" cars. you still want me to carry you. and i still want to even though it hurts my back with every step. you and i have shared a tumultuous 4 years. and you have been my one and only child. so, i want to be sure to maximize this time and space with you. and because you don't have a little brother or sister (who you so badly long for) i have free arms, a free hip. and a heart full of you.
