Crazy Things Kids Say

Noah & TJ have been talking up a storm lately! Here are some of their latest ramblings...

While out in the pool Noah pointed at the house, looked at us and said, "There's the kitchen. Mommy makes pizza in the kitchen. Mommy makes fruit in the kitchen."

The other day we were out front playing and TJ came up to me and said, "where's Kevin? KEVIN? K E V I I I I I I N - where are you? 'MERE... please!"

Noah was playing with a pipe cleaner and said, "mommy, I have a pink octagon." Kevin said something about a stop sign and Noah said, "red octagon."

TJ is big on recognizing her successes. And why shouldn't she! :o) Whenever she puts on her shoes or does anything really, she will look at me and say, "good job TJ!" She'll clap sometimes too. Noah will run through the house and yell, "yea!!!!!! I did it!!" Guess I should teach him soccer and what to say when he scores a goal!

They both like to run up and down the hallway yelling, "help help help!" as they giggle when I chase them. However, they started doing that outside the other day. I was like, oh geez, don't start yelling, "help" in public! People will think something bad is going on. They don't really get that yet.

The other day I was changing TJ's diaper and Noah walked over, peeked over my shoulder and said, "good job mommy" as he patted me on the back.

Noah has started answering questions with the funniest form of "yes". I asked him if he wanted chips & salsa (we were going out for Mexican food) and he said, "yes" but in a way that seemed as if he really pondered over the question before answering with a very "sure of himself" "YE-es". Not sure how that came across as it's hard to describe but it is too funny.

TJ has really been talking 4-5 word sentences with EVERYTHING lately. It's crazy. The other day in the pool she said, "daddy, put me on your back please."

They are so funny together. They say "please" and "thank you" to each other, are very huggy and kissy with each other and look out for each other with milk/snacks/juice/etc. (Most of the time that is.)

They LOVE to say the alphabet and enjoy singing the Happy Birthday song making sure to include EVERYONE they can think of.

Noah walked up to me the other day and proclaimed, "I am Noah." I was like, "um, ok." LOL

Last but not least for now... TJ's new thing is to walk up to me and say, "mommy - guess what?!" But that's as far as she gets. So the first time I was like, "what honey?" And she again said, "guess what." It's a "TO BE CONTINUED"

This is Noah's crush - Kiana who is also a twin.

How about these two glamour gals?!

Nothing like a little family shot!

Bad Mommy

So as you can see, I have not posted in a while. I have misplaced my camera and haven't been able to upload my latest pics or take new ones. So... while the hunt continues, I will work on catching up on the last few weeks.

Not much new has been happening. We have finally been able to play outside as our skies have cleared from all of the fires. It was really bad for quite some time. I'll post a few pictures - as soon as I find my camera.

The kids graduated from the hospital's developmental program last month with flying colors. They are at or above in all areas which is wonderful news!! Noah speaks in 4-6 word sentences where TJ is at 3-4 word sentences. Noah is SO into music! He learns songs after hearing them a few times. His latest favorite, except for the ever so popular "Wheels on the Bus" is the days of the week song and the ABC's. Although the other night he asked me to sing a song about pickles. Who would have guessed! TJ always requests the ABC song as well as the Happy Birthday song. Not sure why, but we have to sing it and make sure to include EVERY person's name they know. It is too funny.

OK, I'm off to continue my search for my camera. Enjoy! Oh, there are a few new videos if you care to check out the "movie" link on the upper right of the blog.

Song of the Month

"The Wheels on the Bus" has been the favorite song for the past month in our home. Here is Noah's version of it!
