Doing his best to keep me entertained!

*This is a flash back pic. My favorite one of his first days*

My Raleigh, what can I say, is a true character. There are a couple of things that have happened this week that are just too cute to not jot down to remember for years to come. First of all, the little turd got in trouble at school the other day for the first time this year. His teachers always fill out a daily sheet with the day's information on it. When I got it out of his folder I noticed that it said he had an Okay day and would I please remind Raleigh how important it is to make good choices! EEEEK. What does that mean? Well, I went to find out. Apparently he has a new friend who make rather poor choices and Raleigh has decided it would be too much fun to join in. For those of you who know Raleigh well, you know he is all about making good choices, so this was kind of surprising. We had a long talk about the whole situation and he said that he would apologize to his teachers and try better. The next morning he woke up with me and said, "Mommy, I'm going to say I'm sorry to my teachers and if Terry does something that is mean I'm going to run away from him and play with Julia. Mommy, I'm going to make you so happy!"
I might as well had been a puddle on the floor because that boy melts me.

That same morning, at 5:30 mind you, he comes into the bathroom with me while I get ready and says really quick, without a breath to spare, "Mommy, do you think you can go down stairs with me and get me a drink and snack and put on a movie or something?" He always ends everything something so that it seems like it was my idea.

One last thing: His new thing is to ask for specific food when he is hungry instead of saying a snack. Here is why: Example, "Mommy, can I have some Einstein fruit snacks?" "Sure buddy, here you go" "Thanks, Mommy" He eats and comes back a few minutes later. "Mommy, can I have a snack" "But Raleigh, you just had a snack" "Nuh uh Mommy, the fruit snacks weren't a snack" "Oh, really, what are they?" "There just fruit snacks Mommy!" So, he and I went to Publix yesterday to spend some time together before we picked up the Hudsonater and of course he got a cookie. We ended up buying some animal crackers and when we got into the van he says (real fast again, so you don't have time to think) "Mommy can I have some animal crackers for a snack, the cookie wasn't a snack!" He is too much...
