Boy Talk

CHRISTIAN:

We take a bath in the same way each and every time. Connor up front (by the faucet) then Colton and Chris bringing up the rear.  A few nights ago, it was just Christian. The big boys stayed down stairs with daddy. So Christian got the front end of the tub. The water was running and he was just giggling. Try and picture hear it...the sweetest little laugh you ever heard. He was reaching for the running water and the laughs just kept coming. After I turned off the faucet, he kept giggling. Finally I realized he was laughing at himself. He was seeing his reflection in in that round silver thing under the faucet (whatever it's use is?).

He now has 2 words:
   Die-da (diaper)
and
  Dau-de  (doggy)


Now on to Colton:

Prior to his first swimming lesson this morning
In his deepest voice possible "I gonna go simming. I go jump off dibing board all by MYSELF. I go under water. "
I soon realized at lessons that he was all talk. He warmed up quickly though. Sweet boy!

And finally, my man of many words:

Me: Connor, can you pick up those cars
Connor: Colton, pick up those cars

Me: Connor can you put those shoes away (fill in the blank with any task)
Connor: Colton, put those shoes up!
 You get the idea. Hey, at least he's got some leadership skills right?

Connor: Mommy, look I zipped up my jacket all by myself
Me: great job buddy! You are getting really good at that zipping thing
Connor: How about every time I zip something, you give me an M&M?
Me: um, NO...that's not how life works
Connor: AW, MAN!

At the store, any store, every store
Connor: Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
Me: I doubt it, what are you thinking?
Connor: Well, I'm thinking you should just buy me _________ (whatever it is he sees)

Connor and I have been working on reading, very simple 3 letter words
He read is first sentence yesterday. "Matt sat, Sam sat."
I was thrilled. He was ecstatic!!!
Me: you should tell Mrs. Jones (his teacher) that you read a sentence
Con: I want to keep that a secret
Me: Why?
Con: Cause I don't want anyone else going to the library to borrow those books



Hope my boys made you smile today
