New Tricks

These are my favorite posts: the ones where I get to share, and remember, all of the crazy stuff my kids do and say.  Here are a few.

- Jacob is still short on words, but he likes to go " Bah bah bah bah bah!!" in a high-pitched voice, almost a squeal.  He did it the other day and Jordan turned to me and said "that's his Princess voice."

- I was sitting back on my knees/lower legs playing with the kids.  When I got up, I kind of moaned and groaned because my legs had gotten stiff sitting like that.  Jordan tells me "Mama, you're getting so old!"  is this concerned-sounding voice.  Nice.

- Jordan likes Post-It notes.  Basically, she likes any sort of paper product with a sticky back.  She put a blank blue Post-It on her bedroom door yesterday.  I asked her what it was for.  She pauses, and says "It says Jacob is allowed in my room because I love him so much."  My first thought was awww....how sweet!!  My second thought was, did she just come up with a nice, new "Mom-approved" answer on the spot??

- Speaking of Aawwww!!!  Jacob likes to lay the side of his down on anything soft and cuddly.  When he does this, he expects you to say Aawww!!!  And of course we do.  He'll keep doing it until he gets bored with the game.

- Jacob keeps getting colds, and they congest his chest.  When he coughs, or gets choked on his food,  I always pat/bang him on the back.  Now when he coughs, he starts hitting himself on the side of his neck.

Those are the highlights. I'm sure there are more that have already escaped my memory.  Thank goodness for the blog!
