Some things to remember...

I always mean to write down all the cute, funny things that our kids say. They are so easily imprinted in the moment, but forgotten by all the following moments. (Sadly.) I really want to remember some specific phrases and words so I'll write them in here.

Translations for Cody:

Moppas - sunglasses

Pocker - Popsicle

Copper - Helicopter

Hummy Birdie - Hummingbird

(The kid says "wasp" and "bee" very clearly. We are visited often by these insects.)

"Cody do it" - the kid is independent

lub = love (It was so cute the first time he said, "Lub Deacon" just all on his own.)

Sarpy juice - Sparkling apple juice

bum = gum, pum = plum

There are so many other ones, but it's hard to remember it all, especially now as he is getting clearer and clearer in his speech and how many words he says. I'm going to try to remember to write them down as they come up (I'll try!) so I can share those funny moments with others!

Favorite phrases of Caitlin's:

"Oh brother!"

"Negative!" (She really does say this just like Brian. It's all segmented and drawn out. It's pretty cute.)

"Mom, can I have some of your stickers?" ( I can't even tell you how often she asks me this, though she has TONS of her own. Somehow mine are the coveted ones.)

"Can I sleep in your room? My room is lonely." (She gets to sleep with Casey under her bed. I would have LOVED to have a barking, growling dog in my room when I was little. I would have felt so SAFE. I mean really, our dogs bark at everythhing. I've tried to explain that if monsters were real, Casey would sniff them out before she needed to worry about it.)

"Can I have...a sleepover...a bead party...etc., etc.?" (I think that she feels she doesn't see her friends enough. I definitely want her to have friends over. I didn't very often when I was a kid and I know that I ALWAYS wanted to, especially since I had all brothers and no other girls to play with.) So, I try. She has already had a few sleepovers and that's always so fun. Unfortunately, she ends up staying awake until 11 p.m., so I have to move her into my room. =) Feel free to leave comments on the cute things your kids did or said! Cheers!
