this boy

this boy...knows how to make my day.

We were outside playing together and he looked at me and said, "you're the awesomest, best mommy in the whole world."



this boy...protects his baby sister.

We had tornado warnings last night. Marshall was pretty frightened of the thunder and lightening. I explained to him that he was safe and I wouldn't let anything happen to him. Lily was starting to fuss and Marshall said, "It's okay Lily, big brother's here. I will keep you safe. Don't be scared, brother's here." SO cute that he assumed she was fussing because she was scared too.

this boy...is curious.

Scott was leaving to run a few errands and Marshall wanted to know specifically where he was going. He asked him, "Are you going to Dollar General?" We both laughed because he has never been to a Dollar General. We just don't shop there. He amazes us with what he knows.

this boy... is SO excited about a certain Aunt's upcoming wedding.

When we ask him what he's going to do at Aunt Katie's wedding he responds, "I shake my little booty." He's more excited about dancing at the reception than the actual ceremony.

this boy...LOVES green.

I mean, he seriously LOVES the color green. One day he told me, "Mommy, green's MY color." He wants green EVERYTHING. He would where a green shirt everyday if he could. It's just that eventually, the green clothes need to be washed. His favorite song is G-R-E-E-N, and he sings and spells it perfectly.

this boy...has a new fascination with American flags.

The boy can spot them from a mile away. He has also learned "You're a Grand Old Flag." It is pretty precious to hear his sweet voice sing this song.


I love this boy...and all the little things that make him who he is.

Marshall, you are such a blessing to our family.
