Chuffed Away

Landon has learned how to put his own tracks together and makes up wonderful little stories about his engines.

The other day he exclaimed, "And they all chuffed away to the docks!!"

Figure 8

Landon noticed that his toast was the shape of an eight and poked holes to complete the look.

Frog

Aidyn got out all of her art supplies the other night just to draw the life cycle of a frog.

AJ

Daddy: "I'm gonna jump in the shower."

AJ [very concerned]: "You can't jump in the shower.  It's too high!"

Landon

Landon is getting old enough now to be saying hilarious things.  I've decided that it's a shame that I'm not writing them down for the boys the way I did for Aidyn, so here goes:

The other night:
Daddy: "Landon, say 'Sawubona.'"
Landon: "I can't not say it."
Daddy: "Why?"
Landon: "I'm too busy!"

Non-Fiction

[insert lame apology for not blogging in forever here]

Aidyn, tonight: "I need to tell you something important and it's non-fiction!"

Come into My World

Aidyn's prayer a few weeks ago:

"Dear Jesus, I'm sorry for all the bad things I do that got you killed. I want the Holy Spirit to come into my world and help me make better choices. Thanks. Amen."

Locked in a Box

Me: "Aidyn, please quit locking your cat in that box."

Aidyn: "Why?"

Me: "Well, would you like to be locked in a box?"

Aidyn: "But, I'm not a cat."


Point. Set. Match.

Mi Gato

**Disclaimer: I don't speak Spanish, so I'm just repeating what she said with spelling the best I could do."

Aidyn is doing really well at her dual language school. She is one of the top in her class and we've been told that she is a "natural" at learning a second language. We know. She was a natural at learning the first one, too!

The best part for me is when she randomly inserts Spanish into her conversations with us:

• "Mom, what's the word for 'trenti' in English?"


• "Papa, mi gato es bonita."


• "The word for bee? Abeja!"

It's so fun to watch her learn!

Option

"Well, I know. We could put Autumn's food and water and some toys in her box and she could play in there. It's an option."
