89 Resons to Love Todd, Plus 2!

Todd had a rough day on Monday so I spent the thirty minute ride home telling him all the reasons I love him and what I like about him. We got to 89 with only a few little pauses for mama to regroup and pull from the recesses of my tired, old brain. Well, yesterday I thought of two more reasons to love my little Toddo.
#1 He read Moby Dick (I have to read it now, never have). When I asked him what he liked about the book,I was blown away by his very grown up and long answer. Love my little reader!
#2 He has perfected his kneeling dive in swimming lessons. Take it from a pretty average person, who can't dive, being the kid in swimming who is the best diver in the group ("finally I am the best at something" were his words)is a big deal to him and to me. Love my little swimmer who has been practicing hard to perfect his skills.
LOVE THAT KID!
