Kisses and Pillows

Just a few quick stories about Mitchell...sorry no pictures this time!

Lately, when Mitchell stubs a toe or mashes a finger, he will run over to Jacob and I and quickly demand that we "Kiss It"! Ha! Not only does it instantly heal his wound, but it also makes Jacob and I smile :)

The sound that I used to 'call' our cat is a kissy noise. I have no idea why...or why she responds to it, but she does! The other day, Mitchell and I were reading a book and we were going through what noises animals make as we happened upon them. He knows most all of them now! When I asked him what noise a cat makes, he responded with the kissy noise. I literally laughed out loud. Man, he really is listening when I don't think he is!

Tonight, Mitchell and I were playing on my bed. He was laying his head on my pillow pretending to sleep and then going over to Jacob's pillow doing the same. He stared at both pillows for a minute and then pointed to my pillow and said "mommy's pillow", then pointed to Jacob's pillow and said "Daddy's pillow". Then he patted his chest and questioningly asked "Mitchell's pillow?" followed by his cute little shoulder shrug. Ahhh.... He seemed pleased when I told him that his pillow was in his bed upstairs, eventhough he doesn't have a pillow. He'll figure that part out someday :)

Each day's stories and smiles far outweigh the struggles! He is growing up so fast!
