T + C = AAA: Redundancy

Redundancy

Oh my gosh! I have to get working on this! But, truthfully, nothing much has really happened. Life is getting back into some semblance of regularity for a little while. Hopefully we'll be able to pay down the visa soon!! Lil' F's been trying to roll, and getting very frustrated (about as much as me because he's almost 5 months and still no movement!) But I love that he's trying because he cranes his head up to look over his head and I get the cutest view of his chunky cheeks! It's my favorite.

Lil' H's been saying some really cute things lately too, we'll see if I remember any of them...

In the mean time here's a video of Lil' F laughing (I know, I know, again. But he's getting a better laugh going now!)

He's such a happy baby! I love it! He's really having fun with peek-a-boo lately too, and played it with me and the camera, so I got some super cute shots!

Oh, and I just have to put these up in yet another place!!

Kindergartener Conversations

The Cute Conversations of My Little Helper (LH):

May 2011 - LH's first soccer practice was a bit unorganized and we showed up to empty soccer fields... to which I was a little nervous about. However we were soon informed that they were taking the practice indoors for the little ones as it was still pretty chilly out. When LH heard the news she promptly stated: "Phew. Now I don't have to freeze my knickers off."

10/09/2010 - While explaining the differences between a butter knife and a steak knife at the dinner table:

Daddy: "A steak knife cuts steak because it's sharp. Really sharp."

LH: "Like Mom's thing she used to cut her fur."

(Yes, like that thing. And yes, she recently had a well learned lesson with Mom's RAZOR!)

Preschooler Prattle

The Prattle of My Little Fire (LF)

05/23/11 - In case you didn't think a 4 year old saying it wasn't funny enough, how about LF at 2 as we're walking into the grocery store....

Mom: "LH, you should have worn your jacket like I said, it's still chilly out."

LF: "I wore my jacket, I won't freeze my kickers off!"

I've GOT to stop saying that!

* * *

08/04/10 - LF never has been a great vehicle passenger, but his latest demand is: "Chickefrie"

The girls and I love Zac Brown, what can I say!!??

* * *

06/03/10 - I've come to the conclusion that we've been 'letting loose' a little too often lately (I'm blaming the swiftly approaching wedding!) My theory is supported by three important points:

ONE - our bank account has these little red numbers in it way too often lately...

TWO - my recycling cupboard has no room left in it for other types of recycling due to the overflow of beer and wine bottles...

and the event that made the ultimate decision for me:

THREE - while playing with her friends this morning LH was 'driving' on the couch and telling her friends that they were on their way to the 'licorice' store....

03/17/10 - A new word for the english dictionary courtesy of LH:

"yestersmorning"

01/15/10 - While visiting with Aunty N, LH and LF are checking out the recent pictures Aunty has taken with her camera. LF keeps trying to point out the "puppa" (puppy) in one of the photos, touching the screen with his fingers. So Mommy tells him, "LF, no touching with your fingers, only looking with your eyes."

Next thing we know LF is leaning in, looking at the picture with his eyes, close enough that his nose touches the screen.

* * *

01/15/10 - As LH's lying on the floor playing LF toddles over and proceeds to stradle and sit on her. After they babble back and forth for a bit LF lies down on her and gives her a big hug. Grandma G sees the sweet exchange and says "Aw, hugs!" To which LH labourously replies, "No, it's squooshes!"

I suppose she was the one on the bottom!

* * *

01/06/10 - Snuggled up on the couch while sick LH was constantly running back and forth to the bathroom throughout quiet time. Finally she taps me on the shoulder and with an exasperated sigh says "Mommy, wiping boogers is too much work."

* * *

12/16/09 - While waiting patiently to meet Grandma and Aunt F for lunch at the coffee shop, a kind elder lady pops over to our table as she's waiting for her husband to get ready to leave. She comments on how well behaved the kids are and talks them up about Santa, Christmas, their food etc. When her husband is ready they say their goodbyes and by then LH is playing 'shy'. She doesn't wave or anything as they leave. Then, just as their going out the door and I'm telling her that she should have said goodbye, she turns to them and sticks out her tongue! So much for the 'well behaved' comment. All I can hope is that they hadn't looked back to see it!

* * *

12/14/09 - With the bedtime routine compeleted and LH tucked into her bed in the spare room at Grandma and Papa's house she makes one last plea for entertainment and asks Mommy: "Can I have lots of stuffies?" To which Mommy explains that the three regular occupants that share her bed are quite enough. Mommy moves on and it's Daddy's turn for hugs and kisses. LH continues her plea to Daddy: "Daddy, my stuffies need something to snuggle, can my stuffies have stuffies?"

Nice try kid.

09/23/09 - Grandma H (happy birthday!) came to visit us today. After our visit Grandma asked LH if she would give Daddy a hug and a kiss for her when he got home from work. Her answer was "Sure Grandma!" So after Daddy gets home from work I remember the instructions and prompt LH as follows:

Mommy: "Hey LH! Come here for a second!"

LH: (runs over) "What Mommy?"

Mommy: "Remember what Grandma asked you to give Daddy?"

LH: (thinking...) "A wet willie??"

* * *

08/21/09 - While reading a story:

Daddy: "What does a mouse say?"

LH: "Squeak, squeak"

Daddy: "What does a wolf say?"

LH: "I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow..."

* * *

02/27/09 - Daddy was trying to use LH as his own portable memory and got her to remember that she needed to get eggs on thier trip to the grocery store. The two of them walk into the store, amid the lovely Easter display, and LH exclaims, "There's the eggs Dad!!!" Needless to say, she had a Cadbury cream egg for dessert...

* * *

02/24/09 - At the grocery store, as she's singing and playing up and down the aisle a stranger comments: "Oh! You're such a cutie!" To which LH replies, "NO! I NOT a cutie!" stomp, stomp down the aisle, then whips back around with a glare, "I a girwl!" (THANKS Papa!!)

* * *

02/09 - From the movie Aladdin we play a game where we give her a big kiss, cough then say "ooh, hairball!" One night at bedtime she gives daddy a big kiss then says: "ooh, soccerball!"

Mommy: "Hey!"

LH: "Hay is for horses!"

(smart-ass)

01/09 - Movie copycatting:

When answering mommy: "Yes, your majesty."

Addressing her toys: "Ladies and Gentlemen"

* * *

01/09 - After a bit of whining and whimpering as she's about to say her night time prayers, Daddy asks "what's wrong?" to which LH answers, "I got a wedgie in my sock!"

* * *

01/07/09 - Mommy: "What do you want for dinner?" LH: "I on a diet!"

* * *

12/30/08 - "Mommy! There's a helicocter in my room!" So we go check it out, and it turns out the washing machine is on the spin cycle in the bathroom next to her room, and does indeed sound like a 'helicocter'!
