Piano Playing at Christmas Time!

Daddy is teaching, I'm paying close attention

I'm getting it!

Now I'll sit and listen to Daddy play. Merry Christmas!

Kate said...: He's getting so big! Actually, he looks way too small to be sitting in a Bumbo, but he is old enough to do it! Hannah's thighs used to get stuck in it. LOL! I love the Santa hat, and the pics of James and Daddy are adorable. :); December 23, 2009 at 11:30 AM

James starting to get upset and his lower lip quivering:
M: What's wrong honey?
J: "My birthday's gone."
M: "What?"
J: "My birthday's gone, we gotta go get it."
M: "Buddy, you'll have another birthday in July, everyone gets a birthday every year."
Lower lip stops trembling
J: "Oh, that's good"

James' prayers usually go like this: "Dear Heavenly Father, Thank thee for this day, Thank thee for Tractors, Thank thee for Mommy, Daddy, James, and Jack-Jack, Name of Jesus Christ, Amen"

We've put both the kids in the same room. Jack was crying for a second tonight, and James said "Jack lay down"

At Costco there are some dump trucks. James really wants one. Here's our conversation about them:
J: I need one Mommy
M: Well, Christmas is coming, we can ask Santa for one.
J: But Santa's not here, Mommy's here.
Mommy can we get one?

Now that Santa has been introduced...
M: James, guess who's coming to dinner on Sunday?
J: Santa?
M: No, Aunt Kirstin!
J: Oh, we need Santa to tell him about the dump truck.

Oct 2012 The other night while reading a bedtime story, James picked his nose, and Mommy tried to teach him a lesson about boogers...
Mommy: James we don't eat boogers, they are yucky, we wipe them on a tissue.
James: No, they are yummy.
M: No! They are yucky, we don't eat them.
J: No, they are yummy, we gotta cook them!
