The older Asa gets, the funnier he gets. The older Lydia gets, the more grown up-funny she gets. I regularly have to bite my tongue so as to not laugh at their adorableness. Here’s a few things from yesterday that made me laugh out loud (out of their earshot, of course)…
THE TOP TEN THINGS MY KIDS DID TODAY THAT MADE ME LAUGH & SMILE & THANK GOD FOR GIVING ME SUCH CUTE KIDS
1. Whenever you say something like, “I don’t want to do that.” to Asa he replies with, “Yes, you don’t!” This works for several different types of sentences but always has the double negative…er, the polar opposite of YES and DON’T!
2. Today Asa and Lydia were playing “Mommy and Baby”. Their favorite game basically because Asa likes to pretend cry. So, here’s Asa on the couch pretending to sleep. Listen carefully for some really fantastic snores.
3. While Asa was sleeping, Lydia sat on the rug with my old computer and answered Disney questions. This video shows her discussing an answer to a question, reprimanding her child and then ignoring said child to get back to her Disney questions. I WONDER WHERE SHE GETS THAT FROM?!
4. They love to tell stories to each other. I think this mainly started when Asa was potty training. Lydia would sit in front of the potty and tell him stories so he’d stay there. Check out the one they told today.
5. Asa loves to do things for himself. And if for some unknown reason you do something for him, he likes to REDO it himself. For example, if I shut the door to the car and he wanted to shut the door to the car? He’ll open the door to the car and then shut it again.
6. But if #5 doesn’t work and he can’t redo what I have (shockingly) already done for him? He decides screaming is the next best option. For example, today he wanted to buckle the top of his seat belt. I did it for him because it was like 800 degrees outside. He started screaming, “I WANT TO DO THE TOP! I WANT TO DO THE TOP!” And then suddenly realized Lydia was not in the car but in Grandmama’s car instead. So he changed his scream to, “I NEED EEEYA! I NEED EEEEYA!” And cried that for the entire 5 minutes we were in the car. Oh. Wait. This was supposed to be FUNNY stuff about my kids. Not frightening. Sorry.
Moving right along…
7. Asa calls Lydia, “eeya” (see above). As in Lyd–ee–ya. We all call her that now. Lydia even calls herself that. I will be heart-broken if it becomes a thing of the past.
8. Don’t worry, I’ll take it down before he’s 9…
9. They think everything is real. Remember our turtle? Daisy? Yeah, well, we still talk about her all the time. We make up theories about what she’s doing and where she is. And we call her Daisy. Like she’s a real person. Or at least a long time pet.
10. Really. It’s all cute. I know you love your kids no matter what age they are. But 2 and 5? Pretty darn adorable.
