Things I Don't Want to Forget

• The way Drake will play with his cars quietly in bed for a good hour after lights out at night.


• The other day Drake hit me and Ben told him that it was not nice to hit Momma. He looked at me with a smile and said "I gotcha Momma" Ben then told him again in a firmer voice it is not nice to hit. Drake looked right at Ben and said "Oh Geez" Ben and I then both lost it.


• Drake got in Ben's car the other day and said " Messy Car Daddy" Sure enough there was stuff everywhere. Smart boy!


• Every night before we start eating supper Drake says "Hands" and wants us all to hold hands and pray. Melts me heart.


• Drake is positive the baby is a sister and her name will be Sucker.


• He loves to sing along to songs and dance to any music.


• The way he always says "sorry" if he gets hurt even if it is not his fault.


• His love for jumping off the couch, coffee table, and down the stairs.


• Seeing his face the first time we took him to the movie theatre.


• How he says "Ready Guys?" before we go outside.


• How he like to yell "Hi friends" when he sees the neighbor kids.


• How he says "Excuse Me" at just the right times.


• How he says "Thank You" and "Please" and really means it.

I'm so in love with that little boy and I just never, ever, ever want to forget the things that make my heart smile.
