Mason is so hilarious lately. He comes up with funny sayings. Lincoln dropped a block last week. Mason says, "What de heck was that?" To which everyone erupted in laughter.
He also starts the answer to every question with, "I don't know," followed by his answer to the question. For example, I say, "Mason, what do you do with those great teeth?," to which he replies, "I don't know, I just ate popcorn."
He hates when it is too loud he will cover his ears and say repeatedly, "it's too loud."
If two brothers are scrapping and their getting louder, Mason may start to scream to show he doesn't appreciate the negative energy he is sensing.
If anyone is saying the prayer over food or before bed, Mason quickly insists he needs to be the one to say the prayer, then shares a very thoughtful prayer with his arms folded.
He has learned how to play a Toy Story video game. When you ask him about his game he says things like, "I need to put a bad guy in jail. Bad guys get lots of money."
He also enjoys playing the Lego video game. His favorite characters are "Awesome," the guy who is the main character in the lego movie, and Wyld Style, this girl with black colorful hair, he seems to love her most, and gets really upset if anyone switches him from being her before he is ready.

We took him to the Peanuts movie last week. A risky endeavor, also undertaken at prime time on a weekend. He spent the first 40 minutes laughing hysterically. Commenting on every part of the movie in a loud voice, "Ha. Ha. The puppy is climbing out of the ceiling. Ha. Ha." My personal favorite was his interpretation of Snoopy pursuing his love interest Fifi. Snoopy picked some flowers and attempted to catch up with Fifi to give them to her, Mason said, "Oh, he loves his mom. He is giving her flowers.Ohhh. " After frequently being encouraged to not speak loudly in the film he watched for 5-10 minutes, then announced, "I don't like this movie, "several times. Just so happens his dad indicated he was also bored. Exit stage left for the oldest and youngest movie goers in our group.
For better or worse, we started a tradition when he was about 1yr old of yelling naked hugs to make him think it was fun to get out of the tub, delightful hugs with mom when he is fresh out of the tub. Tiny, snuggly, squishy, happy babies, are so endearing fresh out of the tub smelling of Baby Magic. He always exuberantly calls for, "Naked hugs," then runs into my arms for what we call, super tight, super hugs. This is all adorable and amazing, but I did recognize it may have a flaw until once when his little girl cousin was over and he offered her a naked hug. :)
Mason selected this batman costume on line because it was "colorful." This gave me home that he would wear it for Halloween. It was a struggle, but in the end he enjoyed his costume for just long enough!
