Thief or Magician

Some stages in my children's lives I enjoy more than others. I'm sure you mommy types are picking up what I'm throwing down here...

You have the sweet baby stages where they rest so preciously in your arms AND THEN that adorable little baby that you've been cuddling for all those months wakes up one morning with the ability to say "NO." AND quite forcefully. How does that happen??!!

Back to the point... Cole is in an precious phase of life right now. He is spouting off words, keeping up with his big sister and coming up with his own tricks that he thinks are ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS. His latest...

Sticking toy coins up his sleeve, pulling them out and shouting "ta-da" with his cute little "Mater-style" smile. Yep, it doesn't get any cuter than that... let's just hope this is a magician phase of life and not practice for being a future swipper.
