Tiny talk Tuesday

Warning to Gigi: you will consider this gross talk and should consider passing over this entry....I love you!

We needed to take a pit stop on the way back from Michigan yesterday. My Aunt Joy was riding along with us.

Trevor: Auntie, what did you do pee or poop on the potty?

She politely answers giggling all the while.

Trevor: I pee and poop at the same time, it was amazing!

Yes, my dear little almost 4 year old it is amazing to do both of those at the same time, I am glad you consider it so spectacular for that to occur. You continue to brighten my days and bring so much joy to my heart. :-)

Tiny Talk Tuesday

Trevor made a palm branch leaf at MOPS last week. He came out of MOPS and......

Trev: Mom, we show Jana (my sister)

Me: Sure we can show Jana, when she comes back from school.

Trev: Mom, show Jana.

Me: Yes, Trev we will.

This exchange went back and forth for quite some time. I just finally ignored the broken record.

Later in the evening we were at church and Trevor spotted his MOPpets teacher.

Trev: Mom, I show him (we are still workin on pronouns) Show Jana.

Me: Sure you can show her.

Trevor runs over to her as he is waving his palm leave and says...

Trev: Show Jana

MOPpets teacher replies: Yes, HOSANNA, HOSANNA.

Yes, it is me who is the slow one, Trevor wasn't saying "show Jana", rather he was saying HOSANNA! Oh dear me, that is why he probably kept repeating himself.

Preschool Picture Day

Sweetheart you are quite the ham these days...

Getting ready for pictures yesterday morning you were rather clear in what you wanted to wear...

Trev: Mom, I want to wear "some fin" with lots and lots of colors, that make me happy.

Also you were quick to give input on how to style your hair.

Trev: Mom, do my hair all crazy, really really tall......lots of spikies.

Mom: Okay, but it is super chilly outside so we will bring a comb to school with us.

Trev: Mom, you al' mos got the deer (almost forgot).

Mom: What are you talking about...

Trev: Deer for my hair

Mom: What? Can you show me what you mean.

Trev: (He goes into the closet and retrieves the hair mouse we usually use to make his hair spiky. ) Here Mom here it is, the deer you silly goose.

Mom: Silly that is called mouse.

Trev: Mom, we go deer hunting and I called it deer.

Got the connection there friends :-)

Trevor's talk

So, our little cuite pie came up with some more funnies, well one was not really funny at the time, but now I can laugh about it!

Mom and Trev are out running errands during a recent SNOW DAY....this is what I heard from the back seat. Trevor would cough a bit shortly followed by another pretend cough. This went on for about 2 minutes.

Trev: Mom, I got a question.

Me: Yeah sweetie whats your question?

Trev: Your butt make noises when you cough?

Me: (trying to not bust a gut outloud)...no Trev, what are you talking about?

Trev: Mom, listen. (He then proceeds to cough and toot at the same time) Hear that MOM? My butt making noises when I cough. Your butt make noises Mom.

Me: No, honey it doesn't (not totally the truth).

Trev: Mom, does Daddy's butt make noises?

Yesterday, we were all looking forward to Josh's bowling 6th birthday party. It was time to take a little snooze before the party, Trevor didn't think that was such a good plan. He complained about my request...

Me: Trevor, please listen to Mommy and don't complain....it is time to take a nap. When you wake up we are all going to Josh's party.

Trev: (sighing and walking to his room dramatically) FOR JESUS SAKE MOM!

Me: (shocked and totally mortified) What did you say? We do not talk like that Trevor. (trying to desperately think of how to teach a 3 1/2 year old why this isn't okay).

Trev: Mom, you say for Pete's sake....I say Jesus sake, I like Jesus, you like Pete.

So apparently, I should erase for Pete's sake from my vocabulary. Guess I just better sick with "Oh brother, oh nuts".

First snow spotted in So Ho

Oh, how I love the snow! I think my excitement for snowy weather has worn off on my dear son. He was equally as excited last night when the white designs sprinkled the bushes and grass. He just couldn't stop saying that more and more was coming...."look, mama (isn't mama so cute, I love it) more snow coming, so fun!"

You can imagine his joy when this morning it was still snowing....as he walked outside, he said "THANK YOU GOD, for the snow!" He played in the backyard for about 5 minutes...making tracks in the snow, loving every minute of it. Just enough time to get his pant legs soaked and his legs "freezin"~ "I so freezin ma, my legs so freezin ma."

Amazed he was again, that when we arrived at my work, there was also snow there. Again, he gave thanks to God for this miracle as well. Oh child, how I cherish these wow moments you've been having. It reminds to celebrate the day to day happenings like a white blanket of snow covering Gods greenish earth.

We were not able to enjoy the snow in the afternoon, because dear Trevor threw up in the van....I guess the van has been initiated in very vast amounts! Joys of being a mama! Hopefully it will stay around for a few more days so we can enjoy it!

Silly Saturday Sayings Said

Some one else already does Tiny Talk Tuesdays, which I obviously missed...so here is my new version. I need to document these before my memory fades and it is forgotten.

Trevor is a talker...he must of inherited that from his father! ;-) Most days, he has lots to say and lots of details in all of his explaining. He is a very excitable talker and often times thinks faster than he can get his words out. He sometimes just pauses and I giggle to myself because I know his mind is playing catch up. We can usually help him find his way back. :-)

During a recent family get together in Shipshewana Trevor decided that the "snoops" table was where he'd like to dine first. His mom, however didn't think this was such a good plan. I told him he was to eat his sandwich first, then his "snoops" which were chocolate with M & M's...specifically yellow ones. :-) He quickly decided that was NOT his plan. And so it began, Trevor, my darling, attempts often to be "in charge" and often times in our home we remind him that Daddy and Mommy are in charge. Here is the story:

Me: Trev you need to eat your sandwich then the chocolate.
Trev: NOOOOOO NOOOOO, first chocolate then sandwhich.

Me: Trevor, sandwich first buddy

(after a rather vocal display of his strong willed side, I decided to remove him from the room were 80 plus family members were attempting to fellowship and enjoy there meals)


Back in the hotel room

Me: Trevor you need to eat your sandwich, then chocolate. Obey Mommy.
Trev: Okay Mom, I do it.

We'd walk halfway down the hall back to the sandwich and he would declare that he was going to eat the chocolate first, then the sandwich. We'd turn right back around, into the hotel room and do this whole song and dance again.

After 3 attempts, my patience was beginning to become thin.

Me: Trevor, Mommy is in charge, you need to obey. Sandwich first, then chocolate.
Trev: Mommy, I tell you somefin'
Trev: My Bible says no Mommy in charge, Trevor in charge, first chocolate then sandwich ....kay MOM??

Quite clever, huh? We had a discussion about obeying, Mommy and Daddy being in charge, what the Bible says, theology, etc

SIL Kris happened to be near by and overheard our situation and asked Trevor what was wrong? He told her that he wanted chocolate and yellow M and M's. She told him how yummy the chocolate would be, etc. So Trevor decided that she was correct and off he went to eat the sandwich. Are you kidding me, I am still not sure why someone else's yummy chocolate perspective change his mind, I am just glad it did. He did finally eat his sandwich and enjoyed his chocolate especially the yellow M and M's. And, I am kidding about discussing theology with him.

Now, I already forgot the other funny I was going to blog about...hmmm.

Oh yeah, it has been a family tradition for as long as I can remember to memorize Luke 2 together as a family during dinnertime. We are attempting to start this in our family now as well. I had hoped to surprise my Dad and Mom at Christmas with this, but so far we have only conquered the first verse.

Me: In those days
Trev: In those days
Me: Casear Augustus
Trev: Christmas August

He now says Casear Augustus, I had secretly hoped he would keep saying Christmas August because I thought it would be hilarious to have him tell my parents that way.

Tiny Talk Tuesday

Trevor was helping me fold laundry and he happened to come across my bra and asked,

Trev: "what this is"?
Me: "Its Mommy's"
Trev: "holds your feeding Isaac's, Mom? "
Me: "Yes, Trev, it does"

Let me explain that my sister has a little boy named Isaac and Trevor has seen her nurse him...so apparently boobs now are known to him as "feeding Isaac's".

Trying to get Trevor to bed tonight he was using all his stalling tacktics and even a few new ones.

Trev: "MOMMY I need you"
Me: arriving in his room, "Yes, Trevor"
Trev: "My tummy hurt"
Me: "I will pray for your tummy" (his tummy hurts almost everynight at bed time)
Trev: "pray right NOW"
Me: "okay" (so I pray that God will make his tummy all better"
Trev: "Mommy you almost forgot to say Please to Jesus"

apparently that worked well, so 2 minutes pass by
Trev: "Mommy I need you"
Me: arriving into his room, "Yes, Trev"
Trev: "My back hurt, my knees hurt, my pee pee hurt, my hair hurt, my head hurt and my toes hurt"
Me: "Okay lets pray" so I rattle off the multiple body parts that he claims are hurting, making sure to include PLEASE
Trev: "No, Mommy just one, pray just one, no at the sames times" (pretty clever, huh)
Me: "I prayed for your ooowies, it is time to go to sleep"
Trev: "Mommy my butt hurts"
