ROFL

Stephan was playing with Asher the other night, bouncing a ball off the wall. Asher was cracking up so much, we had to take a video.  Enjoy :)

Thoughts from a Three Year Old

Our dear Gideon says the funniest things and I am having a hard time knowing which to share because in typical boy fashion WAY to many of his quotes deal with potty issues. So three of the four still relate to butts and potty, I just had to share anyway. Enjoy :)

**After swimming he was changing back into clothes and had to go potty.  He heads to the bathroom naked and comes back to his room saying, "Mom, do you want to feel my butt? It is SO clean!!"

**We were in the backyard, the kids were swinging and Briella kept asking for an underdog; Gideon did not want an underdog.  After awhile he says, "Mom, I want an underwear dog."  :) I was smiling and asked him what he said. "Please can I have an underwear dog?!?" 

**During a recent bath Gideon got a little too much water in his mouth/nose/eyes and was crying rather dramatically.  One of his parents (cough) made a comment that he wasn't going to die and needed to stop crying.  For the next bath and hair rinsing he didn't cry and proudly states, "See, I'm not going to die!!" 

**Gideon, again a typical boy, is often asked if he needs to go potty or told to just go potty.  The other day he came back from the bathroom very quickly and I asked him if he had gone potty. He said he hadn't and I asked why not.  His intriguing reply: "Jesus didn't make me that way."

Can you find my favorite two boys?!?

 

Briella-isms

Briella is learning a lot of new things and it is so fun to watch her catch on to things and stumble in her understanding.  Here are a few of my recent favorite quotes.

**She was sitting (on the toilet) and smashing her thighs together--it takes a bit of effort to get them to touch. She said, "My legs are getting chubby just like yours Mom! Isn't that cool?!?" My response: "Very cool Briella" WHATEVER???

**Today in the van, "Do you know how high I can count?" "How high Briella?"  "To eleventy"  Hope you are impressed because I do not know anyone else who can count to eleventy!!

**At Dinner: "Dad, you are getting gray hairs here."  (pointing to the temple area where there are in fact several gray hairs)  "You look like you are going to be a grandpa."  (Lots of giggling)

**During lunch, telling stories to Gideon . . . "I was sleeping with my kids' daddy . . ."  (UM, not sure we are ready for any boy talk and she is talking about marriage!?!?)

**During dinner awhile back:  Briella says, "We need to wash the windows again, Mom." I looked at her?!? "They're dirty." I made her help me wash them the other day :)

**In the Aldi parking lot: "Mom, an eagle!" as she points to a seagull.  Just not the same, dear. 

**Playing at the park: "Mom, Gideon is crying" (Standing right there it is clear he is not crying) "Right here" (pointing at sweat running down the side of his face).  lovely :)

Picture this . . .

Last week, Gideon had a little runny nose and he went to get a tissue.  He blows and cheers, "I got it!! I got it!!"  I wasn't quite sure why he was so excited, so I asked him what he got and he showed me the small rock he had just got out of his nose!!  I asked Stephan if he knew what was going on and he said an hour or so earlier Gideon was shoving a crayon up his nose, so Stephan explained that we don't put things up our noses.  He noticed Gideon kind of rub his nose a bit, but figured it was a little raw from the crayon digging . . . We just never know what he'll do next!


A few Sunday's ago, at the end of the service we were standing for the benediction and I felt some movement to my side.  I opened my eyes to see Gideon watching the pastor very closely and raising his arms as he was observing the pastor.  He tried it again the next week, but I told him only the pastor does that . . .

Not sure if I already posted this, but during a different service a guest minister was preaching about the Jews and used the word Jews several times.  Gideon looked at me and said/asked, "juice? juice!" (obviously a more common word in the life of a 2 year old)


Just a few stories I thought were worth sharing . . .  Have a wonderful day!!

Halfway!!
