Cute-isms & pix

precious

Hayden singing "Snuggle Puppy" to/with daddy

drumming along with daddy's playing

music is over. time for bed in matching PJ's

how many toddlers do you know who are this happy at bedtime?

the naughty monkey. he is always in time out for jumping on the bed. (the song 5 little monkeys in their fav.)

beautiful bedtime smile. in case you think they're big. this is a pack 'n play

Hayden's monkey is also in trouble for eating his gummie vitamin (we pretend that every night and it never gets old)
GARAK: Benny lika dis [tapping my leg]
ME: what's dis?
GARAK: Gawak lika sity downy onna Momma

GARAK: yes, you do
 today at the park
HAYDEN: Hayden smell somping. [really exaggerated sniffing motion].
ME: is it something good?
HAYDEN: yech. smell lika good foodu. I fink chicken.  I fink ich Gramma Brimer's houch.
 on potty training
[both boys wear underwear during the day now.  Hayden is always dry even through nap. Both wear a diaper at night and Garak still does for nap and often has daytime accidents.]
GARAK: [after going to the bathroom. standing there looking down into the bowl. this is said in a "well well what have we here" tone of voice] good-a-boy Beeenny sou sou no messy! ie fie! (translation: good boy for peeing into the toilet and not making a mess. high five!)  he will often waddle out of the bathroom with his pants around his ankles shouting for a high 5. it is pretty stinkin' cute.
Hayden does everything himself, or at least tries to.  He is very independent.
 HAYDEN: look Hayden do it! Hayden is cho biiig! No mamma help you! [that last part means: Hayden is so big. Mamma didn't have to help him]
On Missing Uganda [this was a breakfast conversation today 11/17]
HAYDEN: Momma Johnny is coming to our house?
ME: Do you want her to come to our house?
HAYDEN: yech
ME: I don't think she is coming because it is so far to come on the airplane.  Remember when we went on the airplane with Grampa and we had to go on so many airplanes for a long time?

HAYDEN: yech
ME: Momma Johnny has to stay home and take care of her babies (twin girls 8 mos)
HAYDEN: Hayden helwp babies [demonstrates holding/rocking a baby].
ME: Did you help Momma Johnny with the babies?
HAYDEN: yech. an babies going poo poo [making a yucky face like he's smelling poop]
ME: Did you help Momma Johnny wash the babies?
HAYDEN: yech. an ah washing poo poo. yech! [laughing] whey-diz [where is] Momma Johnny?
ME: you mean where is her picture?
HAYDEN: yech
ME: okay let's get it. [they each have a laminated photo of them with their guardians that they can look at whenever without destroying it.  This morning we went to Walgreen's and printed out some more pix of the goodbye day in Uganda so they can have a book of different photos when they want to look.]
