Since when did you learn how to...?

My dearest Bookie Ben,
Since when did you learn how to...

1. Wink! A real wink that melts my heart and my resistance to giving you another of your beloved "kishes" (as you call your newest sweets discovery of Hershey kisses)?

2. Say such sweet things such as, "some day I want to be a mommy just like you Jaimee, and someday I want to be a daddy just like you Marc!"?

3. Repeat back an entire story line from a new book we recently read or movie we saw with near perfect accuracy and such animation and inflection in your voice?

4. Tell secrets?

5. Tell jokes?

6. Give me totally complete and unbelievably detailed accounts of everything around you such as who did what during the entire 2 hour Bible Study we attend on Wednesdays? I can always count on you for an honest play by play of who did what to whom, who got away with it and who got in trouble! You are even honest with your contributions both angelic and otherwise :)

7. Bargain?

8. State your case with quite good reasoning!?!

9. Just say, "goodnight, I love you mommy" and then roll over and go to sleep!?!

10. Do actual beginning math!?!

Even if every other 2 and a half year old is doing these things and more... you are still simply amazing to me! I am so blessed to be your mommy!
