Kid one-liners (and more)

Micah

As I'm cleaning the kitchen in the early evening, and after a no-nap afternoon he comes up to me and says...

"Mom! What are you trying to do to me?!"

His new favorite conversation...
"Hey mom?"

"Yes Micah"

"Hey Mom?"

"Yes Micah, what do you need"

"Hey Mom"

"Yea buddy, I'm here what's up?"

"Hey mom... hey mom... hey mom... hey mom"

One thing's for sure- he sure does like me. :)

Whew- where did this 'tude come from!?

Micah was trying to give her a train to play with and she didn't want it.  He started crying and she responded to him with,

"Whatever Micah!"

And as she's walking away she again mutters, "whatever!"

As we were buckling into the car she lifts herself up in her seat and says,

"Look Mom! I'm growing bigger and bigger into a flower!"

Matter-of-factly says, "I'm going to be a princess flower!"


Did I mention Micah had a huge break-through this week?! (No, sadly still not potty trained, but that day will come.)  He figured out how to use the pedals on his bike! We've been working with him for over a year now trying to get him to use the pedals, and he's well on his way! While he still uses his feet Flinstone style on flat ground and inclines, he's finally getting the motion!

AND he has struggled coming down indoor play structures- you know the one's with the big "stair" type.  He'd climb up but then would be freaked out because his feet didn't touch right as he swung them over.  We would work with him each time, but we just couldn't get him to do it on his own.  But his last week, he figured it out! He was so excited- and so was I for that matter! No more funky body contorting to help him get down! Hooray!

We're so excited! It's so great to watch your children and their different personalities develop.  They are each so unique!
