Trent pointing at a picture of mommy in her wedding dress and saying, ''Princess!'' Awesomeness.
We were in Walmart yesterday, and a newborn was crying that strangled whine. Trent, says, ''Baby sad. Baby a cryin', needs a covers in the bed. A nap. Baby really tired mommy, need a nap. Is sad.'' This so reminded me of a conversation with Nora at this age. There was a baby crying and she said, ''Baby crying, baby need a byes.'' ''Byes'' being her name for a pacifier. So odd to see them mimicking the same reactions to another childs' sadness.

Imagination
Nora is not lacking in this capacity....
''Buddy....I know all about coal fish. Coal fish are sent by the king of the mine. They have ordinary powers and can do double flips. And I saw one in my dream and it was very very big. It ate a ship full of treasure. The treasure made it's tummy hurt and it died. Then the pirates swimmed down and got the treasure back.''
Trent, 'WOW!''

I Should Be Sewing.....
But instead, I sit here thinking about all the cute things my kiddos have said in the last several weeks.
Trent is convinced he needs to use the potty, only to sit there and do NOTHING! He screams, ''Mommy is not wooookin?! Is na woookin?!'' As he pulls on his penis trying to go pee. Can't really help him with that, but glad he has the general concept of sitting on the potty down. Most of the time he will tell us 'yucky diaper!' while he's actively peeing. Little too late at that point.
He likes telling us 'No poopy in there(giggle) when we try to check his pants. Come on buddy, connect the dots mommy would love to get you out of diapers!
Our little buddy has gone off to preschool like a pro! No tears, no fuss. He's our shy and introverted guy but is coming out of his shell a bit. Ms. Kim says he is such a sweet boy and asked for hugs and says 'tink you' and 'beeees' with everything they ask. He has become my little squishy bundle of love.
Nora is on the other end of things these days. She tells me that all people have holes in their head...it's where the hairs come out. True...true.
She has started saying her brain 'just went crazy' when she's done something mischievous. Like some crazy little elf took over her cognitive abilities for a few moments. This happens a lot when I've told her no to a snack and somehow five minutes later she has one! To punish or not?
The spiritual is starting to intrigue her as well. She came home yesterday talking about how she needs to pray, that God likes for her to talk and pray. We havn't really prayed with her yet because I wanted her to first grasp the WHY of it. We are big believers in letting our children understand the reason behind things instead of just mimicking a behavior. In the end, I think she will be more connected to her thoughts and heart with her prayer messages.
