my white haired boy


abram is quite a character and if you know him personally, you know exactly what i mean. he's talks like he's 10, sings his own songs, can play alone for hours, uses his expressions to enhance every story he tells you, and will cry if you leave without him giving you a hug & kiss. he's irresistable, really! his little lisp adds to his cuteness, although we probably need to work on that. anyway, he had his annual appointment with dr c yesterday and the nurse was in love with him by the end of our short stay. he told her all about toy story 3 and how the bear, lotso, is "evil". when she asked what kind of fruits & vegetables he eats, he said, "bananas, mashed potatoes, and powdered donuts", ha! he introduced her to his baby sister and made sure she knew her name was kinley. when asked by dr c if he could see airplanes & stars, he replied, "well, yes, but i look at the moon the most." she asked him what kind of ball he likes to play and he said, "i like all of them, but i really want to learn how to play the guitar when i'm 5". he even volunteered to get his 2 shots first. of course, i don't think he remembered what a shot felt like because as soon as the first one went in he started crying and said, "that thing is pokey, i don't like it, i don't want another one." his little dramatic self proceeded to limp out of the office like someone had caught off his big toe...it was pitiful. anyway, he weighed in at 37 pounds which put him in the 60%ile for weight and was 39 inches tall which is only the 25%ile. i've never had a child in the 25%ile so that was a shocker. he does have short legs, but i never would've guessed him to be that short. finally someone might be taking after me?! the fact that he's 4 now really blows me away...i don't want him to ever lose his 3 year old sweetness. i do look forward to how much he's gonna love preschool this year though and i know that his little personality is only gonna grow more in this 4th year...i love you, abram joshua.
