Dub-Dub and He-He

Preston is a fun and social boy.  He loves to be around people, play, and have fun.  Preston has a little friend that is 4 months older than him and she comes over to play.  As they have grown up together it's been fun to see them interact more and more with each other.  Both of their vocabulary grows daily and sometimes I have a hard time understanding exactly what is being said.  For example, Preston says "Shiiit".  I'm sure it's a part of some other word.  He always says it when we're walking in the garage, and I laugh everytime that he says it.  Yep, I"m one of those parents.  Preston's little friend, Brynn, calls Preston "Dub-Dub".  When she says it, he looks around like "You talking to me?".  Brynn likes to run around our island in the kitchen and that just so happens to be one of the Preston's favorite things to do.  So, Brynn starts running around and Preston starts to chase her.  She stops and he runs up to her with the biggest smile and gives her the biggest hug.  She looked a little shocked but then she laughed and started running again yelling "Dub-dub.  Dub-dub.  Dub-dub.  Dub-dub."  When all the chasing was over she came over to me and said "He-He" and pet my arm.  Preston and I plan on changing our names to Dub-Dub and He-He within the next couple weeks.

Preston, the Zoologist

The other day we went to Littleton Historical Museum where they have animals that the kids can get up close and personal with.  We walked over to the donkeys and in less than 5 seconds he had slipped through the fence and was running toward the donkeys.  So me, being 29 weeks pregnant had to jump the fence and run after him ... I was laughing the whole way.  He wanted to get as close as he could to the donkeys but lluckily I grabbed him before anything serious happened.  As I was carrying him back to the fence he pointed and said "Ma Ma".  I turned around to see the donkeys following us.  We got out of the donkey pen and there were 2 donkeys waiting for Preston to pet them.  He loved petting them and pointing to the ears, nose and mouth.  The other kids were so happy that Preston got the donkeys over close, a couple of the boys gave Preston "5" for his deed. 

As we were walking past the pig pen Preston noticed that the sheep were getting out of their pen.  There were several kids that were running in the opposite direction of the sheep.  Not Mr Preston.  He starts running directly toward the sheep and waving his arms.  He didn't say anything just ran toward sheep.  I was hurrying up the hill as fast as I could, laughing all the way, and as soon as I got there Preston had gotten all the sheep in the pen.  I was able to shut and lock the gate.  I picked Preston up and he had the biggest smile on his face and pointed to the sheep and said "Baa Baa".  As soon as we turned around there was quite a line of spectators.  Preston started clapping. 

He keeps me running, A LOT, but I wouldn't have it any other way.  He is such a fun boy, he's fearless, and loves animals.
