sissy, sissy , sissy
over the last few weeks dane has turned into something else. the tempers, the tantrums, the attitude, the everything. he is like a completely different kid (i know that is probably wrong, but to a mother who is pregnant the world is always going to end). at school pickup i am normally greeted with "he did awesome today" which has quickly changed to "he has been a pill since the minute you dropped him off".
yesterday at drop off he cried at the transition, and was having a very hard time cooperating to go upstairs. i ran back in to talk to his speech therapist, and 4 minutes later when i walked out to the car... he was still screaming and had only made it up to the third step. i couldn't help but laugh. his stubbornness has turned into a joke. it's ridiculous.
lucky for me, picking him up was pleasant. he ran down the stairs yelling "mama" with a huge grin on his face. nothing feels better than being greeted like that. nothing. after our warm embrace he immediately grabbed a paper out of his bag that his teacher was holding and darted for the car yelling "sissy!". i quickly stopped him from running into the parking lot to find this sweet number in his hand. 
his teacher started laughing and informed me that after he had done his coloring she randomly cut it into a heart. as soon as dane saw the heart he screamed over and over again "sissy! sissy! sissy!". she took it as a note to address the beautiful piece of art to his sissy. he carried it around the rest of the day calling out for her.
to say he was disappointed when she wasn't in the car when we got there is an under statement.
under that recent rough exterior is still a mushy warm heart... that i know will always be there. 
at first i thought it was so sweet that he would associate the heart with how much he loved his sister.. but after finding this picture of emmy.. i realized he associated it with her current obsession. hearts. can you even believe this chick? heart shirt, heart pants, heart socks.. none of which match, and still she could care less.
hilarious.
