Some Porter Notes
Monday night Porter told his first Bald Faced Lie.
In the bath I told him not to splash but he said he could. I asked, “Who told you you could splash?” “Mommy.” I knew dang well she didn’t. I told him that she didn’t say that but didn’t make a big deal out of it. I just held his chin, made him look at me, and gave him a good stare while telling him to tell the Truth.

Trish gave Porter a stuff Simba (from the Lion King I think) that Porter instantly attached himself too. He’s got Lion King diapers so it’s fresh in his mind. At bedtime he held Simba and put him in front of each stuffed animal in his bed and made him say “Hi” with a couple “Nice meet you’s” thrown in.

Right now he’s sleeping on an airplane pillow my Grandma Margaret made for me when I probably wasn’t older than him. We had the following exchange.
Porter: Where dis come from?
Me: Grandma Margaret made it for Daddy when he was about your age.
Porter: I meet her at foonral (funeral).
Me: You sure did.
Porter: I lub her.
Me: I do to buddy.
Then I rubbed his back for a little bit.

He woke up from a nap Sunday and asked about my parents dog Levi.
“Where Levi?”
“He’s at Grandpa Tom and Grandma Jan’s. You get to see him this weekend.”
“I dream bout him”
“About Levi?”
“Fef,” (that’s how Porter says ‘yes’) and then he giggled and said, “he lick me in face” and giggled some more.

I was organizing pictures and think you’ll get a kick out of this series. Here’s Porter going through 4 different feelings a few months ago. The last one I take no responsibility for, it was his own interpretation.
Porter, show us:
Lastly, as of yesterday we are 1-2 cm dilated!
