Pancake sandwich
What’s for lunch? Why, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on leftover pancakes, of course. 
My cycling companion today
Not sure if all that extra cute weighs more than it should or if Bax is just growing like a weed, but wow pulling a trailer will slow you down!

Bootie the bug
Baxter: Dad, I see something — there’s a bug in the car!
Tom: What’s its name?
Amelia: Bootie! (giggling) Bootie the bug!
Baxter: No, he’s GREEN!
Baxter on WordPress and Aunt Jen (Mylo)
Mama, you’re WordPress, right?
(laughing) Kind of. Me and a lot of other people, honey.
A lot of other people and you and Aunt Jen, right?
Yes, that’s right.
I wish Aunt Jen could live in our house. Because her is my so-nice Aunt Jen. And I love her.
Well, she loves you a lot too.
Maybe Daddy could build her a bed here, and her could sleep on it at our house! And her could sleep over! (thoughtful pause) Does she live in Portland?
Yes.
Good. Can you send her a picture of me? Cheese!

6 Baxterisms for your reading pleasure
- “Would you like a Cinderella snuggle?”
- (About sneaking his flashlight into his room one night) “And you didn’t even see me because you were asleep. So it was like magic!”
- “I have ring power. I shoot rings at people.”
- “That is such a silly book, I want to read it every day.”
- “Do you want to see how tall I am? I’m as tall as Yoda!”
- (In the morning) “Mom, guess what? When I sleep, it takes too long.”
Mama don’t I look like you?
Mama, don’t I look like you? See, I’m wearing your flip-flops. 
When Baxter dresses himself
Avengers shirt, cute skirt, necklaces, stickers all over his legs. When asked if I could take his picture he posed and shouted, “Wonder Woman!!!”
Not sulky; on a call
Normally I say no imaginary cell phone calls at breakfast, but our cousin left her stuffed panda with us last night for an extended visit, so Amelia had to call the stuffed animal school to let them know that Panda would be joining them this morning. Serious business indeed.
