This morning I was greeted in the same way I am every day by Peter....with a run run hug "uppie" followed by a kiss and a "good morning beautiful mommy". Every morning I know I am the luckiest gal around town. The LOVE is amazing - as if I trained him to do this. The great news, I didn't. It's purely authentic. I know I am lucky b/c I have been greeted in the morning in many other ways, not so loving but equally authentic.
Before the girls woke up, I turned on Little Bear for Peter and thought it a perfect time to call my dear friend Sheila for a good catch up. I sat on the deck with some coffee and a breeze and life was good. Peter followed me out to the deck and soon I noticed that he was behind our grill and all I could really see were his feet. The next thing I saw was his PJ bottoms and underwear fall to the ground. He was taking the opportunity to pee outside off the deck on one of the most beautiful mornings we have had since June and to be honest, I couldn't blame him. It was glorious outside. He makes me laugh every day.
Just now, he said he wrote a song and asked if I wanted to hear it. I sat down for the show. He had a mop which he swayed back and forth and sang "ooooohhhhh, bad guys....mmmm bad guys...oooohh bad guys". Then he said "do you want to hear the good guys song?". It was similar to the bad guy song but had more words..."Luke Skywalker wants to get the emperor b/c he is strooooonnng. The sharks are bad and can't ge-et me. Good guys...mmmm....good guys". I desperately tried to nonchalantly video tape this b/c it was both the greatest entertainment but also a sweet memory that I was already afraid I would forget. But he wouldn't oblige and nothing was taped. I am hoping that the memory will last although I am already forgetting the tune.
Lastly, another hilarious thing that Peter has started to do is to speak in 3rd person - Michael Jordon style. I will say "does anyone want to go for a walk?" and he will say "Peter Nicoll does".
He is hilarious and a complete love bug - who could ask for anything more?

Dear Greek Goddess Athena,
Thank you for your comment. This is exactly why I blog b/c I love that we are all so connected!! Thanks for reading. And P.S., today's Peter's love note was to tell me "your skin is so soft". Man, I love that kid.
I think he sang the "good guys" and "Bad Guys" songs to me...or their follow-up songs!
He IS the best...I LOVE Peter!
