tiny "tudes"

Random thoughts about my "Tiny Tots":

My tiny tots are growing up every single day!  I am convinced they are both going on 13 years old though.  Kamryn is very into telling me "NO!" as she includes the stern finger point!  She tries to put Azzi in her place when Azzi does something she should not do.  Kamryn gets in trouble herself but it is hard to yell at her because she is hilarious!  The personality she is forming is comical.  Scares me a little to be honest....kinda feel like we may have a class clown on our hands!  She loves following her brother's lead.  It is constantly monkey see, monkey do around here.  Kamryn is not talking near as much as Graham was at this age but she is trying so hard.  Some of my favorite phrases or things she "clearly" is trying to say are:  "Uh oh, spaghettios!" sounds like "Uh oh, say-yo"- "thank you"--sounds like "tay-tee"...."Oh Toodles!" (from Mickey Mouse).......words: dada, mama, bubba, papa, nana, Azzi, ball, puppy (buppy), blue, yellow (llello), hi, hello, bye, bye-bye, no, ok, hot, apple.........She brightens my day!  Rarely ever does she wake up cranky no matter what the circumstances are.  Generally, she is also very easy to put to bed.  Tonight...cutest thing ever...Kamryn and I were saying bedtime prayers and when I said "and God bless those who are sick"...Kamryn instantly said, "ah-choo!"  LOL...I always say "God Bless You" when she sneezes so that is what she associated that moment with :)  I thought it was cute.

Graham is enjoying preschool and is a social butterfly.  He had a couple rough weeks awhile back...constantly getting in trouble...we pulled him out of gymnastics....started a new behavioral system at school and he has been very successful!  Last week, he started CrossFit Kids and really enjoys it!  I love hearing him talk about CrossFit and showing me things he learns.  We have bear crawl races in our basement...do burpees, squats, push-ups etc.  He does very well :)  I am speaking like a true mom, but I really am proud of him.  He has his extremely ornery moments, but he is very polite and sure to thank people for nice things they do for him.  I know he is very loving and caring...always has a hug and a smile for me!  Along with all his sweetness,  he is also developing an attitude.  Does not like to be told NO, although he hears it frequently.  Talks like he is a grown man...seriously, the vocabulary he portrays just blows me away.  He talks about "vehicles" and the "exhaust" they put off...looks outside and says, "it's a nice day out, look at those beautiful leaves mommy!"  If Kamryn or I dress up for church or a wedding for example, he almost always says, "you look pretty in your dress!"  or "I like your dress!"  He talks about "helicoctors" and their "propellers" (he doesn't say the 'p' in helicopter).  These are very few of the things he says but what cracks me up is that he struggles to "breakfast" and it comes out as "breax-sticks"...and almost everytime he talks about breakfast, he follows the word with " I can't say it"....ha ha...so cute :)

I will stop boasting about my children and go to bed....Figured if I don't write comments such as these, I will forget all too soon.  I love their innocense :)  Until next time, our journey continues...
