Kiddos

A couple funny things our kids are doing:

Every time Steve or I are on the phone, Lynzy repeatedly asks "Who talking?" Meaning "Who are you talking to?" She won't let up until you answer her. Once you give her an answer, she's content and moves on.

Friday night, Steve, Brock and I were curled up in Brock's bottom bunk (it's a full size mattress) reading books. Once we had finished the fourth book, we told Brock that it was time for bed and we were leaving his room. He wasn't pleased about that so he told us this: (pointing to Steve) "You no leave", (pointing to me) "You no leave", (pointing to himself) "I leave". That made us laugh so hard. Not to mention kept us in his room for another 5 minutes.

Lynzy will call me Mom whenever she is trying to get my attention. Not Mommy, not Mama but MOM at the top of her lungs. She is definitely competing with her brothers.

Brock loves playing Candyland. He understands how to play but would rather focus on getting the people cards rather than winning. In case, you have forgotten the game, there is Queen Frostine, Gramma Nut, Mr. Mint, Princess Lolly, Someone Plum and a Gumdrop Guy. (I can't remember the exact names of the last two.) Anyway, he gets upset when anyone else picks the people cards. "I wanted that one."

Wesley likes to inform me as to what the little kids are trying to tell me. Or why they are acting out etc. I think he feels that he is trying to be helpful even though I am way ahead of him on what my kids are trying to tell me. One day, I finally looked at him and said, "Do you think you could stop the commentary for awhile? You are acting like a newscaster." He thought that was so funny. So every now and then, he will give me a truly newscaster performance and break down what the kids are doing as if he is a third party observer.
