Orion's Belt

Gabe stays up way later than a 2 year old should. We know some parents like to put their kids down to bed early and then enjoy the calm. We really don't mind having Gabe up, we hate putting him to bed. I'm sure this will backfire eventually.

Back to the point. Every night before "bed", Nate goes downstairs to let Taylor out (when she's not having a sleepover at Frank's). If Gabe is still up (and he often is) he yells "I coming, I coming"!!!

Nate got into the habit of taking Gabe with him. When it was warm and now when it's cold. Gabe likes to go see the moon and the stars. For the longest time he'd come in and tell me he saw the moon and he saw a star.

Then Nate showed him "Orion's Belt". Now, for the past few weeks, every time Nate goes to let Taylor out, Gabe will say "I coming, I coming, I see Ryan belt". He's just the sweetest thing.

Tonight he did the usual. Then he came in and said "I see Ryan belt. I see snow. I cold. I lay in Daddy's bed. Mommy hold it" (means 'hold me').

I love him more than all the stars in the sky!  Here he is after his bath.
