When I get after the kids I usually get down on their level, look them straight in the eye, tell them what I want, and then seems I always add "You got that?" Jack looks up at me with the most sincere face and most matter of factly and replies "Yes Mom, I got that. " How can I be stern when that is his answer?!Today we were having ramen noodles for lunch. But in an instant Jack declared "Look! Noodle snakes!" And now they are "crawling" all over my table.
Claire can be dyslexic when she talks sometimes, switching up letters and words. A lemon is an Emel. A shopping cart a "copping shart." "Puk it." Thats another one. "Puk it back." "I have pockets in my crackers." And she has a problem with me. Look what Me got. Daddy's coming to me house. "Give to me back it." That one made me chuckle. Oh, and if Jack is crying, its 99% probably Claire's fault. But like I said before, she'll tattle on herself. Come and tell me that he's crying and what she did to him. Or if I ask her what happens, she always tells the exact truth. Which is really nice and wont last. But for now, if ANYTHING happens, she'll tell me exactly what, even if that means she gets time out.
And Max... poor max... He still hasn't said a word. He says No and Go. And Yeah, and sometimes Daddy. But I dont think those count. As for real words, names of things, not a peep. Lots of babble and blowing raspberries at me, and fake coughing (something Claire taught him...) Other then that? Not a word.

Oh my gosh, my kids do that fake coughing thing a lot. And little Judah likes to blow raspberries. Hopefully that means talking is right around the corner, because I can't wait to hear what they'll say!
