Keeping Up With Kal-el- January :)

 Yes, yes I know...I haven't done one of these in awhile but I realized I really need to start back. Primarily because it's the little things that we not only tend to forget but are often times the very things we hold most dear to our hearts. I certainly don't want to miss these sweet details of our daily lives. Kal-el's personality has grown leaps and bounds if thats even possible. He's truly a unique child. I'm aware I'm biased because he's mine but its just so true. Every single day is an absolute adventure with him. My days are filled with exhaustion and true happiness and I wouldn't have it any other way. Here's some of my favorites from the past few months :)

-My child is fascinated by the moon...he LOVES it.  He's also pretty fond of stars but nothing beats the moon in his eyes!

-He is very familiar with gender now. Labeling everyone "boy" or "girl" accordingly. He very much prefers pointing out girls....oh meeeee...lol...the one exception to this is....

- He loves watching Charlie Brown...One day he saw a commercial for a cartoon that he was positively frantic to watch. I didn't see the commercial so when he was yelling at me that he wanted to "watch boy Mommy" with an eye full of tears I had NO clue what he meant. A few day later we caught the preview again and it was Charlie Brown. I need to buy him a dvd. Charlie Brown never comes on and I've purchased $3.99 OnDemand rentals more time than I care to confess!

- He's favorite color is most definitely Green ...he has recently taken a real interest in coloring and often times he will leave the green and Yellow crayon (he's second favorite) out of the box and hold them through out the day. It's also not uncommon for him to carry those two to bed with him.


- If you think he's given up Pluto you must be crazy :) I have GOT to get a backup HOWEVER I've had more than one parent tell me that he WILL know the difference....I'm scared ;) 

- Super has been counting for quite awhile now...He usually stops at 13 or 14. He's favorite number is 8! He also uses it to refer "many" or "a bunch" of items. When I bake cookies he tells me he wants eight ;) 


- His use of the word "pretty" is positively heart melting...He used it often last month to reference Christmas lights. Shiny things or items embellished with bows or even his bouncy balls that light up are "pretty". He also calls new clothes I put on him "pretty". Sooo sweet!

- He really enjoys making Logan laugh. He understands that we are family. In the rare event that we go somewhere without Logan (trips to the store etc before his 6 months shots etc) Kal-el would repeatedly ask for "Logan" I hope they are always this close <3


- "Mrs. Cobblepot" is a phrase he sneakingly says often.... inside family joke...I don't want to forget lol :)


- He is still very good at using his manners..to be so lively and rambunctious and some times defiant about other things he says please and thank you without fail. Makes me smile. He has also started saying "sorry" however this is usually last minute and in an effort to avoid corporal punishment ;) "Wait, wait" is also cried out in protest to impending disciplinary action. It's extremely difficult not to laugh at his antics.


- He loves going to the doctor...he really likes Dr. Melvin..it's the one place he usually minds...or at least when he comes in the room...the wait, aftermath, and journey back to the car are often a different story :)


- We bought him some batman boxing gloves as one of his Christmas gifts...he loves them...too much....my ribs and butt regret this purchase. ;) When he puts them on ...he says "I fight Mommy now..or I fight Daddy now" At least he gives us a heads up lol


- He can now recognize the sequence of events when his Daddy gets called for work...after "the call' he follows Chris around like a little Duck (Oregon :) and when he sees him put on his boots he asked "you gotta go to work Daydeeee?!" He's still a Daddy's boy and will still tell you that if you ask him <3

-If he drops anything on the floor he ask for "clean one" ...told you he is MY child....although I'll eat a yummy cookie off my floor anytime lol ...judge away :D

- Every night when he takes his bath ..he will lay down in the tub and kick his arms and legs and say..."Look Mommy I swimmin!!!" :)


- I tell him I love him every night and every night his sweet little response, without fail, is a coy little grin, little eyes that cut over mischievously , and a little mouth that proclaims "Kal-el LOVES PLUTO!" lol After three tries I usually get an I love you back but not before his love for his worn out plush pet is declared!

- And last but not least he is still so in love with "Sponge Pants" that there is no way that I couldn't give him a 3rd birthday party in that theme....speaking of which...my BABY will be THREE in two months!

We <3 you Thomas Kal-el Borquez...always stay SUPER :)
