AJ's memory is amazing to me! Well not just his memory, but the way he thinks and comes up with stuff. Here are a couple of things he has said lately that I found amusing:

He is at the stage of using the restroom completely on his own, but given my instincts I want to continually check (for good reason ~ recently I didn't know that he had peed on the shower curtain instead of toilet, after cleaning the bathroom 5 times I finally figured it out!).... so anyways ~ I opened the door to check and he was watching the toilet flush, which is always a good time for him and he looked at me and said, "Mom, I'm a big boy now so close the door and I'll be out and (then he put on his serious face) Don't be so curious!) Curious George is a well liked figure around here, either tv or books, doesn't matter, so I'm assuming that is where that statement came from.

Normally once AJ is in bed he stays there until morning. Well tonight he got out and I was taking him back to bed and he said, "Sorry mom, but this is just so much fun." I had no idea how to respond to that.

Now that colder weather is here, I'm having a little bit harder time coming up with activities and I don't really like being outside as much since I worry TK will get cold and Lucy is often here and I don't want her cold either. So AJ has been asking to watch tv or play computer games (PBS games) alot. He know that I'm going to try and divert his attempts and come up with something else. So lately when he is tired of my attempts to amuse him, he will say, "Bad news mom, I'm going to have to watch tv." I have no idea where the Bad News came from, but it's funny to hear.

TK doesn't really talk or do that much of anything right now, but she has started consistently saying certain syllables. When we come home the dogs are always barking... you would think by now they would catch on to who it is, but nope! Both the kids now know that we come home and first is to tell the dogs to hush. For AJ he normally says "hush down dogs" (this is not something either Mark or I have ever said, but it works for him) and TK makes this sound that closely resembles stop barking or no barking, which is what Mark and I normally say. I have heard her say it when AJ is bothering her also.... which is why I think I find it so funny.

Oh well enough about the kids... for now
