our favorite things

Jasper's quite the little chatterbox and it's truly wonderful! I never have to wonder what's on his heart or in his thoughts because he readily shares it with me (something I don't take for granted). He's becoming quite adept at identifying his emotions, also, which is so precious to witness.

For example, the other morning, Jasper asked for milk and I told him we were out of milk.
He gasped (loudly) and said, "No milk?!?! Baber sad."

Normally, he tells me that he's happy, though.

For example, I let him have a juice box at lunch today and he said,
"Thank oo, Mommy! Baber happy!"

But anyway, back on topic, he's very good at identifying and vocalizing.. well, everything in life. But especially those things that he most loves. So I thought I would make a list of Jasper's favorite things in life since we have so many conversations about them every day.
