MamaMama

I have been feeling more "MamaMama" lately.  I want more hugs, more snuggles, more bedtime "just stay one more minute" time, more "special Mommy Ivan" time.  I'm a little more worried about the dark, and being alone, and saying goodbye at preschool in the morning.  This morning, my friend Julian had to give me lots of hugs so I would let Mommy go.

I was sick a couple weeks ago, that's one reason.  For a few days, I had bumps on my tongue and a fever.  And now I'm better, but I still kind of want to be sick, because Mommy stayed home and I got to watch more movies.  And then Alex had his tonsils out, and he felt sick for a loooong time, so then he got all of the cuddles and snuggles and we watched even more movies.

Last night, when Mommy was trying to say goodnight, I asked if she can sleep with me in my bed.
"Am I married to you?" said Mommy.  "No." I said.
"Who am I married to?"  she asked.  "Daddy."  I said.
"So whose bed do I sleep in?"  "Daddy's."
.... "Mommy, I want you to be married to ME."  I said, and laughed my I'm-being-goofy laugh.  She cuddled me and said someday she wants to dance at my wedding.  I told her she could.

But now that Alex doesn't snore anymore, Mommy says I can sleep in the same room with Alex again.  That will be better.
I love Alex.  I always say "Alex is so cute!"  We hug and give kisses.  And wrestle.  I like having a brother.

I got to go to the Exploratorium with Mike and Marsha.  That was super fun.
And I'm learning how to do tricks on my bike, like riding up on things and down stairs and stuff.
Soon, we're going to move to a new house.  It has more room for toys and playing, and bunkbeds!  I'm going to have the top bunk.
