Atticus

He would call himself Atticus Finch Meric Brandon Glick. His cousin is Meric and for some reason he is Atti's hero. Not that Meric doesn't deserve to be his hero but just shocking since he has almost 30 cousins...or is it 31? Atti just turned 4 this week. He was very excited to get a Bop-It and boxing gloves for his b-day. We even got training mits for Brandon. He loves anything manly and strong...unless he doesn't get his way when he starts to high pitch cry and goes to his room. He would play the Wii all day long if we let him. He is really good at it and a fast learner. He often takes off his shirt to show me his muscles and "forgets" to put it back on. He loves to snuggle but thinks kisses are grose...or "frose" (how he used to say it). He is sad that he can't go to school yet and honestly so are we. He has so much positive energy that I don't want to waste any of it. When I ask him to do things he runs to get it done and asks what else. He is a really picky eater but is learning to try and choke down most things. We have recently learned that he likes meatloaf! We have cows in the crop circle next to our house and he looked out the window and said, "Mom! I want to go, get that cow, and CUT IT!" I guess he was craving a hamburger. He is very aware of his surroundings and doesn't yet have a filter...especially when he asked me why (outloud) why the ward clerk's mommy cut his hair so short on top. (um...he's just balding...) If I had one wish for Atti it would be a huge basement with every jungle gym accessory possible. And a never ending supply of hotdogs and bologne sandwiches!
