My sweet little man

I asked Ryker's daycare teacher if he has been hitting at all, and she was surprised I'd asked. Phew.

She said if anything he is hugging everyone. Aw. It's the sweetest new thing. He holds his arms up and wraps them tight around the necks of his family and friends. Sometimes sharing open-mouth kisses with his friends or pressing his cheek against theirs while tight around their neck. I hope this is a reflection of the love he witnesses in his life.

Although there was a daycare report in the past that he knocks over his daycare friends by grabbing a shoulder for balance, but then lays on them so they can't get up. He also prefers to be playing with any toy that so happens to be the same toy another little friend is playing with.

It's all a marker on the learning curve of life. Hitting, hugging, sharing - or not.

My sweet little man.

One more adorable thing he has picked up on from somewhere is that he bends forward at the waist and rests one hand above his knee sometimes with an expression like an adult would lower herself to a child's level and sometimes looking like a little man checking under the sink for a leak.
