Memorable Moments November 2010

I started singing very loudly and opera like and Bailey said, “Mom, that scares me all the time.”  Um, I guess I’ll stop singing like that. Devon was talking about watching The Princess Bride and was saying something about Wesley.  I asked him what his name was and he said, “Well, it was Buttercup’s Love.”  So sweet. I bought some FeBreze for the boys’ bathroom for Thanksgiving since a lot of people were going to be there.  I told the boys what to use it for.  Well, as soon as their first cousins came Carson told his cousin Michelle, “If you go poop in our bathroom, just spray the feh-brez.”  I loved how he pronounced it and I love that he felt he needed to tell her that. Bailey woke up the other morning and was saying, “Mom!  Mom!  Come get me!  I’m in my crib!” Bailey has been loving Little Einstein’s lately.  At the beginning it talks about buckling your seatbelts and says, “Everyone, buckle your seatbelts! “  Then the other kids all yell, “Seatbelts buckled!”  Bailey said, “MOM!  I not buckled!” I was wearing my dress for church and Bailey asked, “Mom, you a princess?” As we were decorating for Christmas, Carson opened the back sliding door and yelled, “Merry Christmas!!!”  The next day Dillon said Bailey opened that door and yelled, “Happy Thanksgiving!” According to Carson’s teacher, he is reading way above his grade level. He loves to read! Bailey is starting to begin most sentences with Because, even if it doesn’t make sense. Bailey is so funny. She will cry and cry sometimes, and as soon as she stops, it’s like she’s surprised! But frequently after she stops she’ll say, “Oh! I not sad anymore! I not crying anymore!” Bailey picked her nose in church so I cleaned her up. She was so mad. She started crying, “No! My boogers! My boogers!” I whispered that they are icky and I needed to clean her up. She cried even louder, “No mommy! Boogers not yucky–they YUMMY! I want my boogers! I want my boogers!” Oh dear. Bailey kept saying, “Hi mommy.” over and over. Then she got a funny smile and said, “Hi, goo goo head.” Carson told me, “Mom, I feel the love every time you kiss me.” Bailey and I were walking through the store and she pulled on some thread on her sleeve so it made it longer. She wasn’t happy about it. I told her I’d cut it when we got home. She said, “Mom, cut it! It’s dane-jus.” I said, “Dangerous?” “Yes, it’s dane-jus. Cut it!” The rest of the shopping trip was about her dangerous threads on her shirt. So funny. Devon was calling his taste buds his taste bugs. He explained all he learned about them too, which was all correct–just a cute way to say it:). Bailey says her hair is comfy and cozy. If I tell Bailey that something is gross and has germs, she’ll normally say, “Oh! I love germs!” Bailey says disgusting sometimes, only it comes out, “skusting.” Devon went out to feed Rosco and came back in. He said very seriously, “Mom, I talked ‘dog’ to Rosco so he would understand me.” I said, “Oh yah? How did you talk?” So he imitated himself–“ruh ruh ruh ruh ruh.” all with inflections and everything. The best part was that he really was serious! I asked Bailey what she wanted for Christmas. She said, “Um, uh, a Halloween spider.” I turned on How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and Carson said the sweetest thing that really taught me as I had not spoken much about the real meaning of Christmas (because it’s not Christmas time, but we’ve started to listen to music a bit and watch Christmas movies). Anyways, I turned it on and he said, “Mom, maybe we should think of Jesus during Christmas shows, even when they aren’t about Him.” Devon and Carson both say vegetables with an N, like veNgtables. So Devon asked Dillon if he ate his vengtables. Dillon said “Yes, I ate my vengtables AND my vegetables.” Devon laughed and said, “Daddy, you said vengtables twice!” Because to him, it’s the same thing! I told Bailey she had made a mess in my bathroom. She walked over to my clothes on the floor and said, “Mommy, you made a mess!” So we both cleaned up:). I bought Bailey some new bibs at Ikea–they are the kind that go on as sleeves as well, so they are great. Since she doesn’t like to wear bibs, I totally talked them up, and the whole first day she wore one. She’d say, “Mommy, pick me up…with my bib.” “I eating my sandwich…with my bib.” “Do you like my bib?” “Mommy, I sad…with my bib.” It was pretty funny. Bailey was being pretty ornery to Devon. She would say “no” to everything he said. Eventually, he said, “Bailey, I sure appreciate and love you, but it’s true.” I laughed and he said, “What does appreciate even mean?!” Carson laughed a little about something Devon was coloring. Devon said, “That’s just how my coloring is. That’s how Jesus made me.” Bailey slipped in the bathtub, and as she was crying she said, “I…I…I BROKE my ARM!”
