Some things I want to remember

Life always seems to pass me by far too quickly.  Once in awhile Graysen will do something that flashes me back to when Hunter was a little boy and I remember something about his childhood that I have already forgotten (in his 5 short years)!

• Graysen now calls everything that she doesn't know the name for "lay lay".  She just points and calmly says "I want lay lay."  It's always something different...I've yet to find a common theme to this word, but she's been using it non-stop for 3 days now!
• Hunter has always (literally since the day he was born) reached for my neck as a comforting spot.  When he's sick, tired, hurt, or scared his hand immediately goes to my neck.  He wraps his hand around the front of my neck (like he's going to choke me).  He's always very soft, never too rough.  Over the years I've had several people question me about it, or even tell him to take his hand off of Mommy's neck, but he knows that I don't mind, and I'm glad that we have a bond where he knows that Mommy will never mind!
• Hunter calls Mandarin Oranges "Capital Oranges".  He knows that's not the correct name, but he can't ever remember the word Mandarin, so he just uses Capital.  Maybe he always will...
• Right before Hunter reaches the door to his pre-school classroom he always stops, turns around, blows me a kiss and yells, "I'll miss you mom!"  I blow him one back and tell him that I'll miss him too, but I'll be waiting for him when pre-school is over.  Then he runs in...gone from me, and in someone else's care for 2.5 hours.  
• I hope I never forget the sound of Hunter and Lincoln playing baseball in the back yard.  This is a favorite for them recently.  I love to hear Lincoln yell "strike one", and "home run!"  I love Hunter's laugh when he hits a great hit and him screaming while running around the bases trying to get away from his Dad.
