Truffula Trees

This weekend Bill and his brother, Alex, have been in New York visiting their sister and soon-to-be brother-in-law Ron! I'm extremely jealous of all the fun things that they are doing but on the other hand, I loved spending some quality time with Sawyer before he starts school later on this week! On Saturday we were out at Village Point Mall doing some shopping for school clothes and Sawyer and I were trying to decide where to go for lunch....He kept trying to explain this one place that he wanted to go and kept saying, "It's that Truffula Tree place!" and after a while it dawned on me....he was talking about 'Cheeseburger in Paradise' whose logo has a palm tree in it....or a Truffula tree. (From Dr. Seuss's 'The Lorax') 

Later that day we were driving around and Sawyer was enjoying a sucker in the back seat......after a few quiet moments he pipes up, "Raylan really likes suckers!" WHAT?!?! Apparently Sawyer had been giving Raylan little licks of his blue sucker! 

Sawyer's reasoning was "Raylan just wanted a little taste..." 

 When I got him out of his car seat, Raylan's lips were all blue and sticky but he was sure loving it! (And yes, we did have a little chat about not giving Raylan little tastes of anything...) 

Every night when it's time for bed, Sawyer always begs to have Raylan come down to say good night and it's the cutest thing ever.....they lay in bed together and between pillow talk secrets, Raylan likes to grab Sawyer's face which makes Sawyer laugh and laugh and laugh.....I just love it*
