Who is Grant Bures?

It took Grant a little while to adjust to dropping Aid off at preschool. He adores him and they both say they are each other's best friend. I hope it stays that way.
So he was absolutely heartbroken when we began dropping Aid off at school. He felt very left behind. I made it my goal to show Grant that having Mom all to himself was a good thing and that we were going to have lots of fun.

He didn't initially believe me.

But I have to say it has been really really good to spend this time with Grant. Better then I thought it would be. I feel like not only do I get to just focus all of my attention on him, I get to really pay attention to every little like and dislike and quirk. Here are some of them.

*Grant loves yogurt covered raisins. He prefers them to almost anything. Even chocolate.
*His favorite train is Percy.
*His favorite color is green.
*His favorite place to go is Choo Choo Bob's. And we are there at least 2 times a week.
*His favorite car toy is Aid's dinosaur book that my friend Kelly got for Aid last year.
*His favorite animal is a horse
*He is just as particular about his shoes as Aid was. I can never change them.
*He can leave about any situation without incident if you remember to tell the person,toy, activity, etc good-bye.
*He loves cheese. But only white cheeses.
*He LOVES bologna. (My father does too)
*His favorite animal to watch at the zoo are the ducks.
*He loves to visit his Dad for lunch every Friday.
*His favorite movies are Dinotopia, Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, Curious George 2 (because it has a train), and Thomas: Mystic River.
*His favorite songs that you must sing to him before he goes to sleep are Row Row Row your boat and the ABC's.
*He loves to give kisses.
*He is very shy in new situations and will cling to me.
*He must have his doggy and tiger when going to sleep
*The more tired he is, the more violent he becomes.
*He hates socks,coats,and hats and is having a hard time with this winter clothing adjustment.
*He bites if Aid blocks his path to something and won't move.
*He has to have the last word.
*He enjoys antagonizing his brother.
*He hates to be left behind when playing chase and screams until you pick him up and run with him.
*He is extremely agile and athletic.
*He slipped in the bathroom and chipped his front teeth. He has little snaggle teeth that I worried about before, but he totally pulls them off.
*You cannot stay mad at him when he gives you his cheese ball grin and says "No, I WUB YOU!"
*He still hates dropping Aid off but he will do so without crying now.

There are many many more I know....

I love you Grant. This has been a special little moment in time with you my baby.
