As we prepared for breakfast, Max asked if I would put butter on his pancakes. As I replied yes, Philip said, “Oh! Butter! Butter is a good name!”

Digging in my purse, Philip found a pack of crayons from a restaurant. He clarified that they were in fact crayons not gum as he originally thought. “Because gum doesn’t come in Buffalo Wing flavor, right Mom???”

He mastered a tricky puzzle this morning and he ran to show me his work. “And now, if I had four hands? I could ride my bike and do the Kanoodle! And if I had five? Or six?” He shrugged. “Who knows, right?”
Philip, you’re one of a kind! Maybe we’ll name our next son Butter Yantes.
He would approve of this! We will never run low on naming options around here, thanks to the kids.
