And before I forget YET AGAIN.... I have to jot down a few of the funny things these kids do....
- Marissa loves to "sing" while she eats. It all started when I fed her for the very first time in the hospital and the lady who came to help me start nursing said "oh, she's going to sing for her supper". Marissa has always made some kind of noise while eating, but now that she sits in her high chair and eats table food, she constantly makes some kind of noise while eating. I can be in another room and I know if someone has given her something to eat because of all the noise.
- I asked Luke if he would please let Ashley (our dog) inside..... he said "Well, I most certainly can, Mommy". How very helpful.
- Luke also likes to add "actually" to just about every sentence these days. I asked him if he wanted cereal and toast for breakfast and he said "Actually, Mommy, I'd just like Apple Jacks actually." All in a very matter-of-fact tone. Crack me up - how old is he anyway?
- Marissa has been giving guppy kisses for awhile, but now she's picking up on what we do when we try to get kisses..... you know how you make the "mmmmm" noise while you lean in for a kiss? Well, Marissa has started pursing her lips together tightly and making that "mmmmm" noise while she leans toward you and pushes her nose on your cheek. Once is just not enough, either..... which is fine by us!
- Luke calls Scott's whiskers "crumbs", as in "Daddy has crumbs on his face" or "Daddy is washing his crumbs". The last time Luke got his haircut, he announced that he had crumbs on the back of his head (where the hair was the shortest). This is especially funny when he tells OTHER people about the crumbs. For instance, his Sunday School teacher has a mustache - he told Mr. Doug that his daddy didn't have one of those yet, he only had crumbs. Funny, funny stuff.
- And just in case I haven't posted this somewhere else (because this is my favorite Luke-ism) - when eating something particularly tasty, Luke makes either Scott or me say "This is delicious" so that he can say "You can say that again". I love it.
- Marissa likes to twirl MY hair as she winds down.... I think simply because she doesn't have enough hair of her OWN to twirl. haha. It's pretty sweet though.....
