DD

I feel like De-E (this is what Ruby calls him, or De-yan) sometimes gets left out of the spotlight, poor thing, stuck in the middle like he is. So here's a post all about DD. It's been so much fun to see the relationship between Ruby & Dylan grow this year. Ruby is his little shadow, just like Dylan was Kaleb's little shadow before he went to school.

They really have a special bond.

Here they are dancing together. :)

Whenever Dylan gets hurt, Ruby is the first to console him. She comes and gives him lots of hugs and lovies whenever D makes a fuss (all day long.) They also fight like cats and dogs. Ruby will scratch him ON PURPOSE and then give him hugs right away. It's hilarious! Sometimes I think she just wants extra attention or a hug and doesn't know how to go about it.

Dylan loved preschool this year.

He made a few good friends, new friends, and a lot of girlfriends!

Let's just say Dylan has his choice of many "girls next door."

Here's his first and last days of preschool this year. We started a mommy school in January and ended with a party at the end of May. Each day they did songs, colored, did a craft, a theme, and had lots of time to be social.

It was perfect for him at this stage. He always had so much fun and would report what all the other kids did each day: so and so picked his nose, I sat by Ethan, so and so was naughty. He loves to report bad behavior!

Sweet D loves to tell me several times a day that he loves me. He also says on a regular basis: I love you, Dad, my brother, Ruby, and my other sister (meaning Giorgia). He always tells me he likes my pretty earrings and gives me compliments throughout the day. Quite an observant one, he is. I think he'll make a good husband someday, if I can only train him to pick up his own socks, underwear, shoes, etc. Even though he often behaves like a grumpy, old man more often that not, he gives the best kisses and hugs and will be a heart breaker someday for sure!
