Bax finally found his beloved Elsa doll, who wins the contest for most ratty hair. He optimistically thinks that his uncle Jason, aunt April, aunt Adrinne, and cousin Daphne will be very impressed with the results of his brushing.

Cute stuff Baxter says
Baxter at breakfast: “Mom, my brain says, ‘Baxter, Baxter! Drink this milk because it’s good for you.'”
Baxter, pouty: “Mama, nothing is the way I want it to be.”
Me: “Baxter, it’s going to be really hot today so I’d like you to wear a tank top.”
Baxter: “I don’t want to wear a tank top, so I won’t wear a shirt at all!”

All the lonely people
Mama, I will look for you if you are lonely, ok?
If I’m lonely you’ll look for me with your binoculars?
Yes, anyone with bi-nah-clee-ars can look for people who are lonely, so I will look for you.
Do you think I’m lonely when you’re at school?
Um yeah, because I can’t see you.
Reunited and it feels so good

Sending kisses to daddy

Waking up at 6:20am so he can immediately make a bed for himself on the couch and pretend to go back to sleep
Things my son says
“I had so many hands because I had so many toys.”
Me: “Maybe Amelia can help you find the scissors.”
Baxter: “Yes, because she’s my helper-master.”
“Mommy, why are you using that pretty voice? I want you to use your real voice.”
