Funny Levi sayings

Funny things Levi has said recently:

Day after seeing Auntie pregnant:

Levi: ‘Mom are you having a baby?’ Pointing to my belly.

Me: (Hoping my belly’s not too fat) “No just Auntie”.

Levi: (Touching his pronounced belly) ‘I have a baby in der.’

Me: “Boy’s can’t have babies. Only girls. Someday you can love a girl and you can have a baby together.”

Levi: “That’s not fawr (fair)!”

Me: “Well let’s pretend there’s a baby in your belly.”
 
Levi: (happy again, smiling) “Okay!”

Also Kaylee and her best friend like to play princesses and dress up and they try to make Levi be the “prince”. Levi has said multiple times. “I not the prince. I da daddy.” He’d rather be daddy than be a prince and I don’t blame him!

Another thing is lately he has been saying, "Mom I have a question for you." and then I say "what's your question?" And then he says nothing. He just wants to repeat what his sister is always saying and has no idea what a question is...too funny!

My Funny Valentines

Valentines notes to my nuclear family:

Kaylee: I love you so much. I cannot believe what a big girl you’ve become and how you are going to be going to kindergarten so soon! I bet you’re excited! It seems just a bit ago you were a little baby in my arms. You bring our family so much fun and joy. You are so imaginative, reading us stories that you make up along the way. I love how you can create a fairy tale just from looking at some pictures. I love how you love your brother and include him in your play. I love how you have grown in the last year to dress yourself without too much trouble, to brush your own hair, to get your own toothbrush ready, help set the table for dinner. It is fun to watch you play – the way you laugh easily, share with others (most of the time) and how you are so cute (your lovely smile) when you dance and dress up. I love when you tell jokes and tell us about your day. All the ways you help around the house and with Levi we really appreciate. You are a good girl! We love you!

Levi: You are such a honey. I love you. You are a big boy who will rarh at pretend monsters and in the same day, blow kisses when saying goodbye. You run to see if your sister is ok if she gets hurt. You are learning how to share (working on it). I love how in the last year you have learned how to talk and tell us how you feel. How you have learned to put your shoes on yourself, and get most of the way into your own shirts. How you sometimes go potty like a big boy. I love your laughter, your singing, your dancing, how silly and rambunctious you are.  I love how you even want to protect your mommy, running to help when I have a “whoops” moment. I love watching you play basketball and passing the ball back and forth with you. I love giving you rides on my back and I love still holding you and your hand. I love your chubby cheeks and that little dimple buried into your left one that shows when your face lights up with a giant smile.

 

Eric: I love you even more than I did when we first married. I love having you to celebrate the big moments (like children being born) and the little moments like a little down-time together. You are so funny. I don’t know how I’d survive without your sense of humor in my life. You continue to be interesting with your encyclopedic knowledge (where do you get this stuffJ) I love what an involved Dad you are. How you offer much stability to our home: helping fix it up and the day to day work you do.  We’ve taken on more and more responsibility as we’ve gone on, and it’s good to know I have someone who’s such a rock to share it all with.  I wish I had more time to spend alone with you but we are in the midst of parenting young ones and we both know that someday we will have more time together.  Until then we’ll grab a few moments here and there, and share in our daily roles as Mom and Dad of our two wonderful little kiddos! Thank you for all you do!

Happy Valentine’s day everybody!

Winter Outings!

We’ve had a couple of great excursions out with the kids and my parents that I haven’t written about. We went to the zoo. It was a crummy cold day and I was worried about the kids contracting the flu someplace so decided it was a good day to go to the conservatory. I was lucky enough to have my parents to help out. The kids had fun in the kids play room (Levi got so wet I got them both Zoo t-shirts at the gift shop – not a good day to go outside wet – brrrr!), looking at the flowers/conservatory and then the rainforest room. Kaylee was rushing through the rainforest room that day, afterwards I asked her why she went so fast and she said it was too hot in there and too noisy. We had a snack and some down time in their nice cafeteria. Then we went to see the polar bars (once again elusive) and seal building which was fun. We made plans to come back in the summer to see the seal show, the seals are Kaylee’s favorite.  Was a fun and active day and I expected the kids to nap well, at least Levi, but it was a no-go on the napping that afternoon.  Still a good time with my parents and the kids was had.

This past weekend we went to the MOA and they went on a couple of rides, and got to see Lego land. Kaylee and my Mom rode together on the swings. It was fun to watch them! Then we went to the Rainforest Café and the kids thought that was pretty fun and different. They had fun experiencing a different ambience and the “storm” that was every half hour or so. Then we went t to the ice castle. Which was fun, except I lost Kaylee briefly much to my panic, but overall it was a very fun visit.  She was not being naughty she was just running around having fun. The castle had a fun type maze and the ice was lit up nicely. We also weren’t too cold. The kids did both zonked out after that trip.

Glad that neither trip resulted in sickness for the kids. Glad to give them new experiences and some fun during this very cold, long winter! Glad to have some great help!

Thanks Mom, Dad and Eric!
