Kids, kids, kids

I love how Hunter says the word favorite = fravwrit, I especially love the 'r' after the 'f'. For example, 'Chick chicks & Rusteze are my fravwrit race cars-kachow!' (aka Chick Hicks & Lightning McQueen)

I also really like that when he doesn't want to eat something he says 'I just too busy now' with a woe is me look. I laugh inside & then say 'yup you're too busy eating your green beans.'

I love that he's so concerned about Miss Emma. If she crawls close to where he thinks there is a spider web, he freaks out because he thinks she'll get stuck in it. And when we're getting in the car to go somewhere he always says 'Wait for Miss Emma Mommy!' I'd like to say I've never forgotten one of my children anywhere yet much to my pride & my Mom's astonishment (haha Mumsie!)

I love Miss Emma's two little teeth poking up out of her gums! I love how she sometimes crawls over to me & climbs up on me & wants me to hold her & snuggle her. She is NOT a snuggler, that independent little Miss. So I gotta take advantage of those times.

I love how Hyrum likes learning new words & then using them in sentences. The other day,

"Mommy when we get home I'm going to quit my lunch & my quiet time' Then he looked at me with a 'so there!' look. Riiiiight :) Or 'Mommy, look, I completed my sandwich!' Or 'Mommy I love Justin infinity' - well maybe that one does make sense!

I love that even though the breathing treatments have begun again & Justin hates them, he will stay calm IF I sing 'Five Little Ducks' (ok that video is a bit creepy) over & over again. When I stop he starts crying, if I try to sing a different song he starts crying. Let me tell you it's a great song but do you know how many times I'm singing that in one day around here? I'll count tomorrow & let you know.

I love that when he's sitting & wants me to pick him up he'll lean his head as far as he can towards me & start flapping his arms. How can I resist???

We've been doing spontaneous geography lessons around here. The boys seem to really like it. When they're playing with their cars or animals, it's fun to hear them say they're taking them to Utah, Australia, China, Tasmania, the Atlantic Ocean or Machu Picchu (some of their fravwrits) I was informed that tomorrow we are going to play Baby Tasmanian Devil-sounds all cuddly eh?

I love how great these two get along. Don't get me wrong, they can fight like crazy (every day it seems) but in between they get along smashingly well. I've even let Hunter have his quiet time with Hyrum in Hyrum's room & they have a blast together. Just tonight Hunter asked me if he could give Hyrum a kiss, um...yes! Smooch!

So cute, so cute, so cute!
