Sunday Six

Six things I want to remember from last week...

1. Jack has started a new thing during dinner time--he's started the head shake argument. lol. He's a notoriously picky eater, so I am often telling him that something is "yummy," so he'll try it. Now when I say something is yummy, he immediately shakes his head no. We go back and forth with me telling him how good something is, while he vigorously tells me it isn't. He'll try whatever it is and then shake his head the entire time he eats it, I assume to further convince me of my poor judgement. Cracks me up. This boy is a character.


2. This weekend, while the big boys played in the mud, Jack was happily sliding down the slide. He repeatedly held our hands on the way down and would belly laugh when he hit the bottom. After a few attempts, he got a bit bold and pushed Isaac's hands away from him. He could do it himself! He could, that is, until he actually started moving. Then he looked a lot like this:
   
   
   
   Heh, heh. Is that not the cutest face ever? I love that he is independent enough to think he can try something on his own!


3. While the boys were outside playing in the mud, Shawn belted out "I love dirt" over and over again in this melody. It was hilarious. After they were finished, we tried to get some of the mud off of them while they were outside. Shawn turned and said, "Daddy, why do we have to get clean? I like it!" He's such a boy!


4. The boys got their first exposure to tacos tonight. (What? Don't judge!) Isaac took a big bite out of one while Shawn watched. Isaac asked him if he wanted to try some. "Yes, daddy! I want to kiss the taco, too!" lol. He did and he liked it. :-) (Jason wouldn't even try it. Sigh.)
   


5. I've started talking to the boys about their upcoming birthday. (How can they almost be 5?!?) Specifically, I've been trying to narrow down what they might want for the theme of their party. Jason is all over the place when it comes to the theme he wants, but there is one thing he has down for sure. He figures he should have said party tomorrow. He was generous enough to say that if we did have the party tomorrow, we wouldn't need the decorations. lol. He's helpful like that!
   


6. J: Dad when are we going to go?
   Isaac: In two minutes, Jason.
   J: How many is that? (while he holds up his hands)
   Isaac: You have to count to 60 twice.
   J: I don't have enough fingers for that. Can you show me?
   Isaac: Just count your fingers six times.
   J: (fisting and then opening his hands) 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60...10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60. Can we go now?!?
