After we got into the car to go to Nana’s…
MrH: Dada, Moose would like to listen to some of your new Jesus songs.
We listened to a couple of worship songs on the way. When Chris Tomlin’s “I Will Follow” came on I asked if he liked it (because I kind of wanted to skip it).
MrH: Moose does like it! Look he’s dancing! He never did this before his whole life. *makes dancing moves with Moode* Did you know he could dance on two legs!?
Me: Moose can dance on just two legs?
MrH: Just this one.
Mama: Hey! You just wiped my kiss off your cheek!
MrH: I wipe my kisses off my cheek into my heart so I can remember them forever.
What the!? Is that not the sweetest thing you have ever heard? How did he even think of that!?
We’ve been playing music and singing songs a lot lately. In addition to “Helicopter” shown in the video, we have also sung such classics as “Penguin” and “Water” and the ABCs.
Will sleeping feel my finger better?
At the zoo this morning…
Cousin E, having seen MrH eat animal crackers earlier: Where’s the animal crackers? Where’s the animal crackers?
They didn’t bring any.
MrH walks over, silently pulls up his shirt, and points to his belly.
“I love you, water. I don’t want you to go. I love you.”
MrH: Dada, can I sit with you in the chair and we look at the tower?
Dada: Sure!
MrH: Say, “who built that tower?”.
Dada: Who built that tower?
MrH: The crane did.
MrH: Look Hop-Hop! A crane! Somebody gave that to me.
Dada: Do you know who gave that to you?
MrH: Uhm. I don’t!
Dada: Mama and I gave that to you for your very first birthday.
MrH: Oh! *as genuinely sweetly as you can imagine, as though he was really concerned he hadn’t said it before* Thank you!
Two months later and MrH is still playing with Easter eggs. Why not?
