You Never Know WHAT They Will Say

All parents highly anticipate their children to utter their first words. I know that we did! I couldn't wait for them to be able to converse, be able to tell me what was troubling them, or say those three lovely words of, "I love you." Well, of course, we have three talkers now....and sometimes I'm a bit nervous as to WHAT they will say. Other times, I am in complete awe at what they come up with. Car rides are definitely more interesting. The dinner table is never silent. You simply never know WHAT they will say!!! REALLY!!! I was reminded of that many times this weekend.

Faith put me in my place a couple of times in the past two days. I had gotten someone to make the girls some dresses for fall pictures. I was SUPER pumped up about them. As my luck would have it, I got the dresses and they did not fit. Grrrrr.  Of course, I was upset. Faith was taking it all in. She said, "Mom, sometimes day [they] don't fit. Sometimes days [theys] dos."  Thank you for those words of wisdom, Faith.  It must have not been my weekend because I also got bitten by what seemed like a herd of mosquitos. My legs are nothing but bites and HUGE bruises from them. They were itching like crazy and I was being whiny.  Faith said, "Mom. If you keep scratchin' dem [them], day [they] gonna itch worse." Yes, Faith. Again, you are right. :)

Cameron is my more laid back one. He usually doesn't offer words of bossiness.  He said one cute thing this weekend, though.  Someone had taken my decorative angel figurines from my shelf. So, I came in the living room and said, "WHERE are my angels?!" Cameron looks up and says, "Right here!" No, honey. I mean, which one of YOU angels took my angel decorations?! It was so sweet, though, that I could not correct him. I just said, "Yes! You are right here!" :)

Mallory, well.....she is talking more and more each day. Sometimes she says things you want to hear, and sometimes it's things that you would rather NOT hear...lol! Her new favorite words are, "Don't boda [bother] me." Haha. She means business, too. So, I normally listen to her! :)

Love these kids.
