Audrey: But I won't bewdaful see you.
(translation: But I won't be able to see you)

Climbing the stairs for quiet time (sobbing)...
Audrey: Mommy, (more sobbing) I want to take a nap so I can stay up early.
_____________________________________
Audrey: I love flies
Me: Why?
Audrey: Because God made them and I want to be a peacemaker (thanks Susan Hunt)
Me: That's good.
Audrey: That's why I got these apples (from apple picking), so that fruit flies could eat them. I love fruit flies!
_____________________________________
After coming home with Daddy rather than Mommy (and a sobbing fit)...
Me: Why were you so upset about going with Daddy?
Audrey: Because I wanted to go home with you.
Me: Why? It was nice for you to spend time with Daddy.
Audrey: But you're prettier than Daddy.

Happy TTT!

No Toys Needed

Random thought, but it so happens I'm sitting at the computer as I think...so you all get to enjoy my thought for today.

My little guy doesn't need toys. He needs long hallways to crawl...a washing machine with buttons, and the possibility of climbing...(he's still trying to figure that out) an oven to climb (this was his 2nd attempt, and hopefully final...he did have a fall).and best of all...a tired Mommy lying on the floor with piles of pillows surrounding her, so that he can then climb up, over, and down only to do it all over again. I think we're going to get him one of those cat climbing things for Christmas.

They are totally safe for a 1 year old, right?

What could be better?!?

Seriously, what could be better?

While playing Jonah go fish (go fish that tells the story of Jonah, if you line the cards up from 1-9)
Audrey: (studying her card) and then Jonah is swallowed by the whale!

Mary reminded me of this one that often takes place in our house.
Audrey think the monitor goes both ways and often talks into the receiving end...
Audrey: (whispering, since he's usually sleeping if he's in his room) Liam, I love you.

And then there's Liam: A yaaa ("a light" as he points to every light he sees)

Happy TTT!

Audrey: Daddy, sometimes your funny, but sometimes your not.

Audrey: I want to be an astronaut, but I have to be younger.
Me: You're not younger? Are you older?
Audrey: Yes, I'm VERY old. I need to be younger.
____________________________________________
Me: Audrey will you tell me another story (she loves to tell made up stories).
Audrey: I can't right now, I'm all out of energy.
Audrey: I need to sleep so that I can have breath energy.
(never realized I needed sleep so that I could breathe)
____________________________________________
next morning....
Me: Do you have enough energy to tell me a story now?
Audrey: Oh no, I need to get more sleep.
(I believe this will be the only time this girl admits to needing sleep....hmmm..)

My Princess

12 Months

Oh my boy! You grew too fast this year. You slept so much in those first few months it was a fairly easy adjustment, having two. You're still a great sleeper, but by the time you were moving, so much changed. You became a boy on the move, and into everything. Although you enjoy moving, but not yet walking, you still like your snuggle time with me. You're still pretty laid back, but when something bothers you, you let us all know.
You love to play with toys, and with your sister. A ball, old remote (because you can slide it along while you crawl), and long hallway with your sister would be ideal for a perfect play day. You love to laugh, and make people laugh, there's hardly a time when a smile isn't seen on your face. When you know you're getting into something you shouldn't you look back and give us a sly grin, and then wait for us to turn our heads before getting into it....and then you book it!

God has given us two wonderfully different children, that compliment each other and our family beautifully. We are so thankful for you. Happy Birthday, Liam!

after losing a shoe on the beach (yeah, not sure how that happened)
Audrey: Don't worry about it Mommy, you can get one that's purple and has glitter on it.
later....
Audrey: No, don't worry about your shoe Mommy, God has given you more at home.
(and I was thinking this was a great opportunity to BUY another pair, but she's so right)
________________________________________________
We were walking on the beach to the carnival rides....they were VERY far away.
Me: Audrey I think we should turn back now, we've walked a long way, and we have to get back.
Audrey: It's ok, Mommy, it's just a little further, you can make it.
(we walked a total of 15,000 steps on my pedometer on that ONE walk, the girl didn't complain once and I didn't have a stroller! Of course, we made it to the rides.)

Daddy: Honey, I'm not going to be able to make it to your first gymnastics.
Audrey: It's ok, Daddy, but I'll miss you when I'm in China.

Audrey: Mommy, is Daddy your prince?
