Wish He'll Stay A Baby Forever

I am amazed at how Mikey is picking up easily the words I'm trying to teach him. You should see the eagerness in his eyes to absorb all the words coming out of my mouth. So hb and I are very careful at the choices of words we use. We always spell the words that we don't want Mikey to pick up and mimic. His hearing is very sharp, that even when he's watching TV he still reacts to what I say while on the phone talking to some friend. Yesterday on our way home from church, hb and I were talking about when Mikey will be in school already which is only a year from now. I started with the thought of " I wonder who will become his best friend?". And then hb said that he might be picked on in school because he's short. I said "I don't think so, because he will be the smartest kid in his class" ;-). Ahh, I dread the thought of MIkey going to school already, I wish he will stay a baby forever!
