Frederick Morris

"HI Eloisey. How are you? I like your toes!"

Freddie doesn't get talked about too much. Maybe that's because Cedrik is older, and demands more attention. But he does exist and he is by my side all day long.  

He has found his voice. He has realized he is his own person. This is exciting and frustrating. He has become defiant. He knows how to get Cedrik in trouble (by whining and crying). He takes everything in before doing anything (which is hard when three of us are really good at hurrying). He will NOT go fast because you ask/tell/threaten him. He walks almost everywhere unless there is food involved or he forgot that he needs to use the bathroom. 

He eats SO much at every meal.  Correction: he inhales SO much at every meal. Freddie loves food, especially pizza and fruit snacks.  I have a soft spot for him. He is my little baby.  And when I ask what he wants from the store, he asks for "George treats." My mom always buys fruit snacks and Freddie loves them.  I can't turn him down.(I found some without HFCS-which is really hard!) He bites holes in bags to get to food.  He climbs on drawers or gets chairs/stools for food.  He will stop at nothing for food. 

I can't figure out if he is color blind or if he just doesn't care about learning colors. 

He knows every word to "I am a Child of God." He loves singing the 5th article of faith.

He loves to sit on me when I meditate. 
He loves to prepare food.

He loves his boots. LOVES. He also likes wearing everyone else's.  

He doesn't care about kisses. He loves to snuggle and he loves soft touches (Jordy Jr!!).

He says the sweetest prayers and blesses everything individually that we are going to be putting in our mouths.

He doesn't like to watch TV. He does like Thomas, but not for very long. 

When he starts getting upset with Cedrik its because he needs his own time with me. I have been learning that cue.

He is really a smart kid. It shows even more when he ignores because it isn't something that he wants to do. He is a white. It is hard being a white in a red/blue house. He teaches Jordan and I LOADS of patience.

He loves music. 

He wishes he could hold Eloise more often. He less to color and loves pretending to be animals. His imagination is already showing. He is so easy going when we let him take his time.  He is a really good boy.
