Regarding Driving

So we are driving down the road and A informs me that ...

"We (the drivers) don't like green (a green light) so we go and we like red (a red light) so we stop."

Then he goes on to tell me that when he drives someday...

"I like green so I am going to stop and I don't like red so I am going to go."

Well good luck with that son, I hope you don't get to many tickets. :-) :-) :-)


Regarding Talking

So tonight, A was talking about Goliath and random stuff... over and over and over... and finally I stopped him and said, "A" do you just like talking? Do you talk to talk?

So he replies...

"Mommy, help me. I can't stop. Words keep coming out of my mouth and I can't stop them. Stop these words. I can' t stop them"

hahahahahahahahahahahaha - He totally gets it from his daddy. :-)

"That Moment" - 8-1-15

You know THAT MOMENT when you wake up and check on your child to find that he is not in his bed. So you check the bathrooms and still no, you check your bed, (since he likes to sneak in) and still no. You wake your husband and start panicking. You calm yourself and look in every room. You are on the verge of calling 9-1-1 when your husband calls out that he has found him.

He was sleeping under his sister's crib. I guess he decided to have a little camp-out/hide-out. Thanks for telling mom about it. I didn't know whether to yell at him or hug him. HAHAHAHA. I'm just glad that, that was all it was. 

He never had a clue...just kept on sleeping. Next time check under all the beds. :-) 

There goes 10 years off my life.

You know THAT MOMENT when you are going over letters and numbers and your child holds up the letter "T" and he says "Jesus died on the cross." 

He doesn't understand all that, that means, but what a precious thing that he is already picking this up. Praising our Savior for HOPE!

You know THAT MOMENT when your child who is only 3 memorizes John 3:16 

...and when he swims across the pool to the ledge 

....and when He wraps his little arms around you and apologizes for something he did or wrong 

...or just to tell you that he loves you. 

There are so many moments in our crazy busy life but it's the little ones that make the biggest impact. 

Funny Things

"A" was eating ham for dinner and I looked over at him and he had a piece of ham held up to his ear. He proceeded to inform me,

"Mom, I'm talking on my ham to Jor Jor" 

I remember having a banana phone as a child, but never a ham. :-) I guess he is a ham radio operator.

Avery got a pre-record-able book from Grammy. The other day we were listening to Grammy read the story. All of a sudden, he got a big smile on his face and said "Bebe in there, Mom, Bebe in there!" For Christmas, he also got one from his Nana and he was excited to hear "Nana, in there."

The other day, he conversationally said "Hi babe, yeah babe"... and proceeded to call me babe for a good part of the afternoon. 

Cooking Skills

Conversation between A & Dad...

Daddy: "Wow, "A", this food looks so yummy!"

"A" will start one song and then go completely into another one. I love to hear him sing. It's such a sweet blessing. 

He tries to give the different words different notes and the melody comes out to be very unique. I LOVE IT! :-)

October 7, 2014

So here's another cute "A" story. 

We were in the car on the way home from the doctors, when Avery said, "Daddy come home in a little bit?"

See, whenever we get home at night and daddy's not home, I always say that daddy will be home in a little bit. 

So then I started to explain to him that daddy was coming in Thursday. "Today is Tuesday and we have to go sleep-sleeps then when we wake up, we play all day and then go sleeps-sleeps again and then it will be Thursday. Daddy comes home. You could see the wheels turning and he looks at me says "Go sleep-sleeps now?"

This little guy who hates sleep time was willing to go to sleep just so he could see his daddy again soon.  

So hurry home Daddy. Little guy is waiting for you. :-)

Airplane NOW!

So the CUTEST thing happened. Daddy is on a short survey trip to the Bahamas and here is what happened...

I was giving a friend a violin lesson and "A" was playing with his toys downstairs. The next thing I know I heard him dragging something up the stairs. He pulls some luggage (that he found left out in the garage) all the way up to the main room.

I asked him. "Where are you going with that?" 

And he announces. "Go with daddy, airplane now." 

Avery figured that once he had a suitcase, I would take him to the airport so he could ride an airplane with daddy. 

He was pretty insistent until I told him I was in the middle of the lesson and couldn't drive him to the airport right then. He brought it up a couple times, but I was finally able to distract him and put the luggage away. He misses his daddy and was figuring a way to get to him. HOW SWEET!
