I was talking to my daughter about her day and in the middle of the conversation, she says, "Ok, I'm done talking." and gave the phone back to her mother. Her mother says,"Her dinner was ready." (she is definitely my child!)

I can't even get through a 6 page story of This Little Piggy...we've cover three of the 5 piggies and she wants to know what happened to the little piggy who stayed home! HE STAYED HOME...heck i don't know...lol

on my way to Target to see if they have some Old Maid Cards...or as Aryn calls them, Old Lady Cards.

jared says, daddy u were right, I did have to pee last night while I was sleeping, but I just sucked it in... lol these kids are already at it today

Aryn, are u finished with ur oatmeal? "Yes Daddy, I'm almost finished, except, I'm not." so is that a yes or no? "it's almost" ....lmbo, tell your neighbor, it's not yes OR no, it's almost!

Aryn says I'm the best daddy she's ever seen...lol

Jared go pee before you go to bed." "I don't want to Daddy." "I didnt ask you if you wanted to, I said go pee before you go to bed." No Daddy, I don't need to pee....my pee doesn't feel like going." smh...... I give up....

let the games begin: Daddy, Aryn says let's play the quiet game...whoever wins is a rotten egg! lmbo

I don't want my cookie daddy, I'm full with it...

Jared didn't want to get his haircut so I asked him dud he need some motivation? He said, "what's motivation?" I said, "my belt." A few moments later, Aryn said, "Daddy, I found your motivation. Your belt is on the bed."

Aryn - Daddy you are so Alarious

Aryn - There was a farmer who had a dog and NGO was his name-o NGO......

Aryn - Daddy, I love you too much

Aryn asked me, Daddy, how do you spell 32? Jared puts holds up 3 fingers on one hand and 2 on the other and smiles... Aryn says, "no Jared, that's a 3 and a 2."

Why?

Why do y'all sleep so wild? The other night, I think was the absolute worst... Aryn, you were laying sideways in the bed, over the blanket, and Jared you woke up in the middle of the night, trying to move Aryn over so you could lay by me. Aryn, you and Jared were hitting each other as you both tried to find positions that you would be comfortable in...meanwhile I am fuming because y'all keep hitting me! Trust em when I say, that soon we will be making some adjustments to our sleeping arrangements!

Why do y'all love to say anything that has to do with burping, farting (y'all say pooted - lol) boogers, hiney, etc...anything that sounds gross, y'all love to talk about it.

Why are y'all always so happy to report that you poo poo'd! Is it because you like to poop? Is it because you like to see my reaction and frowned up face when I come in there to clean you up? Is it because you like that I fuss and complain about having to do it? Everytime I have to come in the bathroom with y'all, you are always smiling and laughing... I just don't think it's right.. Something has gotta give.

Why do y'all think that you have to have different things for breakfast? The other day Jared, you didn't want Aryn to have the same breakfast as you and you had a crazy fit. You were like, "No Daddy, don't give her the same thing!" SO dramatic!

The Things You 2 Say

You guys say the funniest things so I am going to do my best to try to put them all down so one day you can see how silly y'all were

Aryn (2), you said that Aunt Brina was teaching you your letters and numbers and then you proudly began quoting them: A-B-C-D-11-12-13-14

Aryn (2), how it is that you have picked up your daycare provider's new york accent is beyond me since she has lived in Dallas for at least 25 years I would think, by now. But instead of saying "hair" you say "heya" or come ova heeya instead of come over here, or "theya" instead of there. It's the funniest thing because you sound just like an old woman from Brooklyn.


Jared (4), you said that you went into your mother's bathroom and stood on something that told you that you were 43 degrees.

Jared (4), I asked you one morning we were sitting down to breakfast, what you had on your plate for the day. You sat there and thought about it for a second and replied, "waffles."

Jared,
Son, I can't believe that you are going to be 5 years old this Saturday. Where have those 5 years gone? This fall you'll be starting kindergarten. What am I doing with a child that's getting ready to go to school? Well you are in preschool now so I guess you are kind of already in school. I remember one day, you and Aryn and I were sitting at the table eating breakfast and I asked you, what did you have on your plate today(basically wanting to know what you were doing today) You looked up and thought for a minute and kind of looked at me like I was stupid and then you smiled and said, "waffles." We all cracked up laughing. (Of course I didn't dare ask your sister because you know right now, she is your little echo.... everything you do or say, she will attempt to do or say it too.

She loves you so much and looks up to you already. Of course y'all hardly ever want to share with each other and you are always trying to "sucker" her out of a toy that you want to play with, but there are also many times when you and Aryn will sit and play together for an hour with no problems. It reminds me of how me and your Uncle Marc and Tia (that's Danielle) use to play with me while I was in one of my 3 hour long Gi Joe vs. Star Wars play sessions.

Last week I mentioned to you that you I used to play with matchbox cars just like you and your eyes lit up when I said I had almost 500 cars! You love cars and your favorite movie these days is still Cars so when I said that you went in on this 3 minute rant about out how you have tons of cars too and some were at home and some were at your G-Moms.....lol You're so funny.

I notice how you love it when I tell you about the things that you used to do when you were a baby...as I tell you, it's like you are trying to envision yourself actually doing it. I told you that you were addicted to your winnie the pooh and tigger pacifiers and how they'd fall behind your crib and we'd be looking for them.

One of the funniest things I have seen you do recently was when we were in Walmart on the frozen food aisle, out of no where you just broke out in your "holy dance" and just WENT IN! you were tearing that floor up like it was nobody's business... I could barely contain myself because it was so random and so unexpected... Then you and I did the same thing at church last Friday, in the Lobby and everyone was laughing at you because you looked so funny stomping all over the place.

You're a blast to have around and you are a blessing to me. As I always tell you, you are my favorite son in the whole world...you're the best! We're gonna have lots of fun this next year, I can tell already!
