What candy does to little boys...

NJ hasn't laid eyes on his loot of candy since thursday. He took his time choosing what he wanted. I couldn't even say what it was. I just know how happy he was and how much excitement was followed by it. I'm glad it made him happy, but it took a lot of energy out of me and then Baba...
There's that happy face!
Dotty is wondering why someone's not sharing.
He got the munchies and asked for some pirate's booty.
And the weirdness begins with hugging the table leg.
Pretending he can't see.
Refuses any photos.
Hangs on my leg.
Then my other leg.
Dot Dot is not amused. 
Now it's Baba's turn.
NJ is finally tackled, tickled, and smothered by Dotty.
Until the tables turn and he tickles Baba back. 
And gives him an armbar.
Let's not do this again, but instead, hide the candy!
He's had so much energy lately it's hard to keep up. But as tired as I get I enjoy every moment of it. How can I not enjoy this loving ball of energy? I was so tired that I laid on the couch for a bit today. He came up with a whole pile of books for me to read to him. I couldn't say no, I love sitting with him and reading books. Later I was checking my email when he came up to me with one of his lego instruction books. He asked me if I'd help him build a helicopter. So I put my computer away and sat with him at his little lego table. As he helped me look for the pieces I needed, he recited his memory verses. It was the sweetest thing. I love that he has God's words in his heart. I was surprised at how many he said, some of them are from a while ago. It's been challenging with him lately, but I think part of it is adjusting to how fast he's growing and how he's changing. I need to remind myself to slow down and spend that time with him. I feel so blessed to be his Mommy as he now calls me. Still getting used to that.
