I have been terrible at writing down the things Allie and AJ say and do, so while I am thinking about it, I decided to record a few from today.
- Earlier this evening, the kids were helping me make some Christmas cookies. We were talking about all the random things 3-year olds talk about and the subject of how big they are came up. I asked them if they could stay little forever and AJ said, "Mom, Allie will be little and I will be big." I said, "Can't you stay little too?" and he said, "Mom, I will stay little for 3 minutes, then I will be big." So then I asked him if he would still love me when he is big and he said "Yep." I asked if he will live by me when he is big and he said, "Yep." So then I asked if he will make his wife spend Christmas with our family every year and he said, "Yep." It was cute.
- The last few days Allie will randomly say, "So, what time is it guys?" and she really wants to know what time it is.
- After making cookies, I told the kids to go potty. AJ went so I told Allie to go. She was ignoring me. So I said, "Allie go potty right now, please." in my good stern voice. She hopped off her barstool and said, "Umm, Sorry I can't hear you." and walked off.
- Tonight as we read the scriptures, Alberto asked the kids, "What is the gospel?" Allie immediately answered, "the truth of the holy ghost." Pretty good answer considering we have never discussed the word at all.
