mouthful of sweet

Just 68 more days until Mia's 5th birthday. 97 days until Jackson turns 5. And I'm coming around to thinking that maybe the two of them really are funny. I mean I've always thought they are, but I just thought I was biased; people tell me they are, Em tells me they are- even that people ask if she has any new Mia and Jackson stories. So I thought I'd quit writing all the funny things said and done in my little notebook, and put them somewhere other people can laugh along with us. Today it's nothing really funny, just sweet. Tiny, but- in my book- worth remembering. Today is Uncle Aaron's birthday, so we called to sing to him. First we got his voicemail, so Jackson and Mia serenaded him with great gusto, signing off with "I love you! Happy Birthday!!" As soon as we hung up, Eli (who we usually call Giddy) came running over to say he wanted to sing to Uncle Aaron. And so we called back and left birthday greeting voicemail #2. It was precious, and Eli's doting big brother looked on with delight as the tiny one sang "Happy Buhday to A-wunnnnnn...." We hung up the phone, and Jax, curled up like a little monkey in my lap, looked up at me and with a mouth full of sweet said "Eli sure do has a little voice....(pause)...a sweet little voice." Honestly I can't believe he'll be 5 in September. I thought surely I would've eaten him up by now.
