Ya!

The kids at daycare all say "James!" when he enters the room. (He's like Norm without all the alcohol.) The kind of person you just want to know and glad he was able to be a part of your life.
It's got to be that laugh.
There's just something different. Like how he rarely cried when he was a baby. This attitude of living in the moment and loving the day.
From what I hear, most kids first learn how to say "no". That they constantly let know you they understand the word and know how to use it. That, as a parent, you are being told "no" by your toddler with almost every task. Seems silly since the one word you don't want them to abuse, you have to constantly repeat because they need to learn what not to do.
James' word is "Ya!".
(He says it with such excitement too).
"James, do you want more crackers?"
"Ya!"
"James, is that the Tiggerbear?"
"Ya!"
"James, are you touching papa's stuff that you should be touching?"
"Ya!"
It's the most adorable thing. I know he'll eventually learn no and want to tell me that all the time. For now... it's nice this little optimist is following in his mama and papa's footsteps.
"Be the best person you can be... Let God handle the rest."
