1. He loves to copy EVERYTHING that Payton does. He is his little shadow. He will say the same things that Payton says and do the same things that Payton does down to the exact detail. For example, this morning Payton dropped his spoon on the floor while we were eating breakfast and he got down to pick it up. So...Parker dropped his spoon on the floor so that he could get down and pick it up. It does get a little annoying for everyone, but I know it won't last long so I will enjoy it while it lasts!
2. "Let's play I spy." Every time we get in the car these are the words we hear. We started playing this game with the boys a long time ago, but recently Parker has decided he loves it and wants to play it constantly! We are all so sick of playing this game with him, but it's so cute to hear him say, "I spy with my wittle eye somping that is green." Also, he doesn't really get how to play the game. We will guess grass, street light, sign, trees, etc. and he just says "Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope." We finally give up and ask him what it was and he says, "hmmm, wet me fink, hmmm, GRASS!" Yes, we already said that!
3. I love having conversations with Parker. He will actually engage in conversations with me (unlike Payton...how was school? fine!) Parker loves to tell me all about his day. For example:
Mom: What did you do at nursery today?
Parker: We sang songs, played with toys, ate snacks...and stuff!
Mom: What did you do at Grandma's house?
Parker: We played with toys, ate lunch, watched shows...and stuff!
Mom: What did you do at play school today?
Parker: We sang songs, played with toys, ate snacks...and stuff!
He follows up all of his conversations with "...and stuff." It's so cute! He usually doesn't leave any details out and just in case he does he is covering himself!
4. I love his cute little speech impediment. I know it won't be as cute if he is still doing it when he's 5, but for right now it's adorable! He came home from church on Sunday and said, "Wook, Mom, I got a Wizard." I said, "Oh, a wizard, that's awesome!" He replied, "No, Mom, a WIZARD." I then responded, "Oh sorry, a Lizard." He gets mad when we mispronounce the word. He knows what he's trying to say he just can't do it. I "wove" my "wittle" Parker's language.
5. I love his sweet smile and his crazy hair. We just can't quite figure out what to do with Parker's hair. It's so versatile that we are always changing it. We cut it short and have now decided to grow it back out. The poor kid has bad hair right now while we are growing it out, but somehow it fits his personality. (Payton has had the same exact haircut since he was 9 months old, which also fits his personality!)

Both of your boys are so adorable! They are at such fun ages and it's fun to hear the cute things they do and say! Thank you for the card! Things are starting to feel more comfortable in Primary. The real reward is when the kids recognize me at school or the store etc. One cute little boy saw me and said "Hi teacher"! So cute! Hang in there...I can't wait to see cute Jones boy #3!
Your Parker has the same speech impediment that my Hyrum has! All his l's are w's too! I too love to have conversations with my little one just to hear the way he talks. I have started recording it so I won't forget how sweet he is. He's a cutie - and don't worry about how he looks as you grow out his hair, it's not so bad on boys, try growing out your little girl's bangs - now that is a fashion crisis!
We love our Parker! I like his conversations, too - on the phone and at Grandma's house. He knows "exactly" what to say. I appreciate Parker talking to me and doing puzzles with me!
