Bednight

Ethan’s cute way to describe how many days until events or when dad’s off work, is measured in the numbers of sleeps he has until he gets there. So when talking and he is thinking about the amount of time he has left, he says, “after bednight”, or when getting ready for bed he says, “is it time for bednight?”


And something else funny, There’s a funny YouTube video that we watched with the girls where this dad refers to himself as dad a Sauris and when his daughters say that phrase He drops everything no matter what it is and acts like a velociraptor and will either eat whatever it is they ask him about or will rip the trash apart etc. So we’re sitting in the car and Ethan starts asking if mama-saurus would like a piece of cake and then when I didn’t answer the first time he says does “Kari-saurus” wanna piece a cake?

FHE Lesson ideas

 In sitting with Ethan at the computer to discuss what he would like to teach tonight for FHE, he replies

" only three fings..bones, blood, and lava..uh hum. let's write that down!!"

He is getting more interested in learning about letters and words so I'm thinking its time for some preschool activities!!

 Cody is such a joy to our family. He has this cute smile that just melts your heart and is such a great little snuggle bug when he wants to be. Lately his vocabulary is more advanced as well as his thought process and it all comes out, without a filter. He is also still such a sponge and repeats or copies his siblings. Here are some of the things he has done or said lately:

  • He is obsessed with his hand puppet alligator. He takes it in the bath, pool, bed and in the car. 
  • Says "ti red" when he gets tired. 
  • had become a pretty picky eater. For some time he loved broccoli, but his palate is becoming more selective
  • says "so rude" or "don't touch me" or "get your hands off of me" when he doesn't like something
  • loves to destroy all Paiges room and Legos
  • last week he colored the carpet with my MAC lipstick($20 a tube x2), drew with mascara all over the bed sheets and blankets, and squirted my eye cream all over the place. 
  • loves to sit and be read to. " will you read wis me"
  • refers to himself in third person as creature. for example one morning he came in and said, "creature's hungry"
  • love to see pumpkins and "spooky ghosts" or spooky things with Halloween coming up.
  • He escapes the house frequently- like over to Daryl and JoDee's house or in the garden, or around the back of the house... 
  • Will say...super cat speed, or ancient speed of the tiger, as said on cartoons
He is just the sweetest, aside from his complete disregard for listening to directions, and we sure love him. I cant believe he will be 3 in alittle over a month. Time is just going way too fast.
