Thingers

James and I were reading a little book about hands last night,
when he read the word fingers.
He stopped, after having sounded it out,
glared, and exclaimed,
"They totally made a mistake!
It's not supposed to be fingers with an "f"!
It's supposed to be thingers!"
It took me a long time to convince him that the word is indeed fingers and not thingers.
He finally believed me, because Joseph was backing up my crazy claim,
but the look on his face still said that he thought we were idiots.

Cloudy with a Chance of Soup Bowls

On Saturday I made some homemade chicken noodle soup for dinner;
thought it might be good for Erik.
James, who often has a complaint for every food that I make,
announced loudly,
"I don't even like
Chicken Little Soup!"
Watch out today!
They are forecasting light showers
of Split Pea through the afternoon,
with isolated showers of
Cloudy Chicken Chowder
in the evening hours!

Say what?

Here are some fun little quotes that have been heard around our house lately:
From James:
Can I please go listen to your doon box? (boom box)
It's 47 o'clock
Can we please have the chuffs? (cheese puffs)
And from Joseph:
Gain weight! (gangway)
I need help getting the Chinese plates. (setting out the China for Sunday dinner).
Jalen Andrew is talking up a storm lately too. He says "No" to everything, and he says it in a very polite, sing songy way. We can coax him into saying "Yesh" (yes), but his first response to every question is still "No."
He mimicks everything we say, often repeating words or phrases he can hear us say, even though he's playing in another room.
He says his prayer at bedtime each night, repeating each word we say. For part of the prayer he says the words very reverently, but near the end he starts shouting the words. He really understands what he's saying too, and can substitute different words. For instance, when I say, "Please help me sleep in my big bed, " he says, "Please help me night night."
He sings too. He repeats phrases of songs that we have sung, and will also hum the tune to a song he's heard as he plays. He's growing too fast!
