Things heard around our house lately

Let's see...

For Boone, that would be the following list of phrases:

-E-I-E-I-O!

-E...F...G (Apparently, this is his absolute favorite part of the alphabet, he sings it often throughout the day. Occasionally, we here an H-I-J-K, but usually he stays true to his favorite 3-letter combination)

-All done

-Dog, dog

For Piper, we never quite know what's going to come out of her mouth lately, she's working on lots of originality that's for sure.

Yesterday morning, she and Boone were at the table having their breakfast. I sat down next to her to have mine, and she gave me a little smile as I sat down. After a short pause she looked at me and said, "Mommy, you smell dat?" This is a question we hear quite often from her, as her nose seems to be quite sensitive to the many smells around her!

I responded, "No sweetie, I don't." To which she replied, "I toot!", followed by swells of belly laughing. I tried to keep a straight face, but that didn't work, because, well it was pretty funny! She followed that up with, "No toot at the table!" Well, at least she's hearing me when I say these things, and I must say, I like her comedic timing!

She's also extremely excited about her upcoming 3rd birthday. She's so excited that just about every morning, when she gets up, she says, "Today my birfday party?" She has also taken it upon herself to start inviting people when she sees them. When I was heading out of the kids' school yesterday, we ended up running into two other moms on their way in. Piper informed them both that she did in fact having a birthday coming up, and then proceeded to invite each of their children! I think she may be beside herself the morning we walk into school with the actual invitations, and my goodness, the day of the party, I don't think she's going to be able to contain herself.

Oh my, life is just that much more fun when you a 1-year old and a 2-almost-3-year-old to share it with!
