Our Nicest. . . . but, Shhhh . . . Don't Tell the Others

You know how they say that 'the squeaky wheel gets the grease'? Well, our Sawyer Baby has gotten no grease lately. . . . or ever. He is soooo low maintenance that I just realized how little I ever show or talk about him.

So, lest you think I only have 4 kids (and crazy kids, at that), here is a tribute to our nicest of the nice little guy. In the way of Letterman, here are the Top Ten Reasons Why Sawyer Could Very Well Be the Nicest Baby on the Planet:

1. Lets Olivia tote him around . . . . 'nough said.

2. When I have had a long day, he will just lay down and watch me, while I watch the inside of my eyelids.

3. Even when the bath gets a little cold, he will just clench his fists and gums and bear it without a peep.

4. Lets Rich blow raspberries all over his face (even after breaking out in hives. . . and he still gives him a nice courtesy laugh).

5. Eats green baby food without spitting it on my face.

6. Smiles when I look at him from across the room (hopefully that means he has beaten the Wilcox Curse of bad eyesight).

7. Lets Ryder pick the boogies ("yuckies") out of his nose--and, boy can Ryder dig .

8. Allows me to forget that I haven't fed him when things get crazy busy (and by how skinny he is, it must be crazy busy a lot).

9. Only spits up and wipes snot on my 'not-as-nice' wear. Never on Rich's suits, either (he must know how expensive dry cleaning is).

10. Lets Olivia tote him around . . . . I decided not enough was said about how nice he must be for that kind of fun. Let me tell you. . . .


What a nice face to wake up to each day!

That little boy is a TREAT! I still am in awe with how great he was the entire Jazz game. Such a cutie pie! Fits right in with the rest of those cute kiddos you have at your house.
