Lovebug

I have been wanting a hammock for a long time now and have lately been more vocal about it. I had hopes to get one for Mother's Day last weekend but no hammock yet.

Well, Noah has had a stomach virus today and was home from school and even fell asleep on the living room floor this evening from being wiped out from his many visits to the bathroom throwing up. He finally felt better for dinner time, so he joined us and had his own special meal of crackers, plain apple sauce and ginger ale. During dinner he said to me "Mommy, when I am a teenager, you know what I am going to do?"

Me: "What??" 

Noah (leaning in to whisper into my ear): "I am gonna buy you a hammock".

We weren't anywhere near this topic at all and he thought of this to tell me. His heart and thoughtfulness towards me has always been so so precious!!!! I love you, my lovebug!!!! 

Here is a photo of him fast asleep on the couch tonight (to be closer to the bathroom...just incase). 

Quotes by Elia

"Mommy, look at my fuzz" pointing in between her toes. I said "I will help you get it out" and she said "NO, it's super glued."

Hahahaha! :)

Yesterday all out of NOWHERE when she was in the bathtub she shouted: "Mom, I just said 'innocent', that not a bad word, wite??" I said "no, that is not a bad word." Hehehe! 

Lovebug

We are sitting on the couch watching the Angry Birds movie and Noah just snuggles my arm and said out of nowhere: "You're so lovely". Awwww!! Then he said "I'm gonna stay with you forever." 

Such a lovebug, through and through! 

Love you, Noah!!! Xoxoxoxoxox

Squeaky Clean

I have not had a lot of time to keep up with my blogging the past couple of months but want to get back into it.  I have to note a couple of things though for today...

Elia LOVES to shower and/or take a bath!  LOVES it!  The other kids cannot get near the shower or bath without her striping down to sneak in there...so crazy CUTE!!!!  This morning for instance, Noah needed to hop in the shower and next thing you know Elia is standing there unzipping her pj's saying "I'n dirdy, I gonna take a shower, okay" and she stole his shower!  She has been in love with bathing for as far back as I can remember and has many times been brought to tears when it was not her turn or her turn was up or one of the kids just wanted an all alone bath time.  LOVE you sweet kid!!!!

Stinky Breath!?

Tonight as we were heading home from a little friend's 2 year birthday party we smelled a skunk and I said "pew, skunk" and Elia very sincerely said "That's just my breath".

"Mommy, I can fix your heart"

Tonight I responded to something by saying "that broke my heart".  The thing that happened wasn't that big and I was calm in saying it but it still had a profound impact on Elia and she said, "Mommy, I can fix your heart" and I said "you can, how are you going to fix my heart?"  I knelt down beside her and she knelt down in front of me and touched my chest/belly in four different spots and scooted back and said "Look, I fixed your heart" and I looked down at my chest/belly and she said "see, I made a church" and I realized the four points she made were a cross and I said "oh, you made a cross, thank you."

Precious beyond words!  :)

Elia's Sweet Little Somethings

Here are some super cute and unique things Elia is saying these days:

If she doesn't like something (food, a toy, a show) she says:  "I can't like it."

If she doesn't know the name of something or the answer to something she says "I can't know it."

She says "actually" a lot.  ie, Me: "Do you need to go potty" E: "nope, actually, yes"

"I love you TOO much."  I think she may have picked this one up from Noah, but he doesn't say it nearly as often.

She really likes dinosaurs and LOVES pirates.  She has been calling me "Captain Mody" and she will be "Captain Hook".  She is asking for a big pirate ship for Christmas.  :)

She usually does not pronounce the letter "s" at the beginning of words, making them into all new words:  Snow is no, sticker is gicker, stuck is guck (hey, Liliana used to say this one, awe!).

She is so so FUN!!!  We LOVE you chicky!!!  :)
