Isabela:
This last week, I was eating a piece of cereal and told
Isabela, “I love you.” She got really
stern and said, “Mom, you don’t talk with food in your mouth.” Then later that night, I was eating a cracker
or something small, and I just said “Hi” and she says, “Mom! What did I tell you? You don’t talk with food in your mouth!”
She also wears her swimming suit everyday. Every once in awhile I will let her where it
under he clothes when we go out, but it’s hard to go to the bathroom with it
on, because we have to take off all
of her clothes. But every time we walk
in the door or she wakes up in the morning, she strips off her clothes and on
goes the swimming suit. Typically, she
comes out of her room, and says, “TA DA!
I can pretend to go swimming.”
And yesterday she said, “Look, I put it on all by myself.” I thought, “You put in on yourself five times
every day.”
Xander:
This week Xander has started saying more and more
words. He used to say Dog all the time,
but quit after a couple of months. But
this week, he asked for yogurt from the fridge in the morning. I gave him some. He said, “Tchich oo.” Then five minutes later he was done eating
and gave me his bowl and spoon. “Tchich
oo” he said. I figured it out… “Thank you.” I said “You’re welcome.” All day he kept saying it. He also added PaaPa that day. We called Brandon
and left a voice message with Xander saying “Tchich oo PaaPa.” Four days later he is still saying it. He says “Abeya” for Isabela and “Papo” for
Zapato. It’s pretty darn cute.
I like to call Xander our Comic Relief. It doesn't matter what is going on, how serious (or not) our conversations are, one look at the kid and we all bust a gut laughing. He is hilarious.
Yesterday in Relief Society, I had to play the piano. One of the sisters took Xander so I could
actually play. He ended up staying with
them almost the entire meeting. (Of course, they had loads of snacks and toys
for him.) He had the three ladies on
that row busting up laughing the whole time. I was sitting in front and
couldn’t help but laughing either. He
made the silliest faces, kept growling at them, and then putting his hands up
in the air, palms turned up, with the most bewildered face, implying, “What
happened? What’s going on?” He usually does this when he is looking for
something or playing hide-and-seek?
During the last song, I was playing, Xander let out this biggest fake
laugh/growl you have heard in your life.
We all bust out laughing so hard, I lost my place in the music and had
to start in two measures later. So much
for me playing better because they took him :D
