My BOY!

A true man~ Chase cracks me up everyday! I really believe he is the definition of a man: "A Hunter and Gatherer."

Every morning, afternoon, evening....no matter the time, he "hunts" for all of his favorite things: (paci, blankie, spoon(s), toothbrush(es), shades, vroom-vrooms (cars), hairbrush and comb, milk, choo-choo (trains), and Elmo, Ernie, and Cookie figurines)!
*This is really cute because each object has a special name that he has chosen. For instance, he has a handful of toothbrushes (Elmo, Baby Einstein, Animal, Thomas the Train, A red one, etc.) and he will individually call them until you hand him each one. He calls the Elmo toothbrush, "Elmo," the Animal toothbrush has a bunny on it, so he calls it, "Hop," the Baby Einstein toothbrush has a lion on it, so he calls it, "Roar," and he calls the Thomas toothbrush, "Choo-Choo."

All of these things are intricate little hand-held objects. He loves them. Once he "hunts" them, he "gathers" them up and carries them everywhere we go! Every morning our trip is prolonged because he continues to add one more thing to the batch! Each night, he carries them to the rocking chair and wants me to place them on the nightstand. I have heard him at 1:30am saying, "Elmo R U?" I seriously think he was talking in his sleep, but who knows. This was a couple of pictures I captured this morning with his favorite things. The "vroom-vrooms" were in the seat beside him as well as the toothbrushes. I tried to get him to hold them up, but he insisted the spoon.
