Meet Pete

For Mother's Day, I wanted to devote this weekend to my reasons for celebrating. Pete is 7.

• Taught me how to be a Mother and is still teaching me.

• Has a giggle that is infectious.

• Looks exactly like he did at birth, just bigger.

• Makes friends everywhere we go.

• Is starting to outgrow his tics - squealing, throat noises, eye-"stretching"

• Likes to walk on his toes.

• Says his taste buds are changing.

• Would rather make up a game than play video games or sports.

• Has artistic talent.

• Is sensitive.

• Teaching RePete everything he knows. (hmmm.)

• Is still the messiest eater I know.

• Finally started taking showers, as opposed to baths.

• Loves flip-flops and soft pants.

• Likes to eat marshmallows and cereal from a baggie.

• Never wants to go back to "regular" school.

• Can create anything out of rocks, sticks and dirt.

Sometimes I still wish he fit into his Buzz Lightyear costume. Love you Sweetie,
