Putting Judah to Work

Lukey Lukey Puddin' and Pie

Luke was telling me about his time on the playground at school today.

It Truly Is the Little Things

I took the boys to Chic-Fil-A today for lunch so they could play on the playground while I visited with a friend. We had a great time. Eli and I had a conversation about lunch before we went, which I caught on video. The child has a great vocabulary, but he's still young enough to have that baby voice that just makes you want to squeeze the life out of him (in a good way, of course). I love it when he looks at me with his beautiful, big, blue eyes and talks to me. I'd give him the whole world if he asked for it. Don't tell him I said that, though. I think he already knows, but he doesn't need anyone to put any ideas in his head.



I love how excited kids get about the simplest things. The other day in Wal-Mart I picked up some marshmallows so we could make Rice Krispie treats (I won't tell you how often I've been making them these days or how many I can eat in a single afternoon.), and I really wish I could have gotten on camera Luke's expression and voice when he saw me pick up the bag. It was so reminiscent of a certain Christmas morning in my childhood caught on video involving pink and white saddle oxfords and my own very high pitched, squealing, excited voice. Let's just say it's a family legend. It made me laugh and wish all at the same time that my heart was still so easily contented by $1.46.

"Ready?"

Eli is learning new words every day. The first thing he says to me in the morning is, "Hunyee, bed." (Honey, bread)

"Hi, Mama. I love you and you're the best mom in the world" would be nice, but "Hunyee, bed" makes me smile too.

Another one that makes me smile is "Peen baaddur". (Peanut butter)

So, today's word is "Ready?"

Every time we watch this video, Eli says, "What?" when I call his name in the video. Luke and I both laugh every time it gets to the part where Eli counts to two really long. Sigh. So cute. I think I'll watch it again....

A Super Duper Pooper

Well, we did it. We finally finished potty training, and now we're just in the "maintaining" stage. Luke has decided that pooping in the potty is much better than in his diaper at nap time. As a matter of fact, he doesn't like diapers at all and walks around like a bow-legged cowboy when he has a wet or dirty diaper. We still have to wear diapers at night and during naps, but we can totally live with that.

To explain the title, I have decided to bless you with the following video. I can't decide what part I like best, the dad's glasses or the ridiculousness of the song. And I would be lying if I said I've never sung this to Luke...Or Eli...or Kris.

And Another

Because, like I said, I'm excited.

Boys in the Pool

I've figured out how to put videos on my blog with Youtube. So, if I go overboard for a little while, I'm just excited about my new abilities. This is the boys in the pool tonight. It was really funny to watch Eli trying to maneuver with his diaper so huge.
