The things they say...

Just had to write this down so I wouldn't forget it...

N was singing this song to Jude Dude as a lullaby before bed tonight. I can't remember everything, but here are a few lines:

"Oh Lord, help me to stay indoors with you...
Oh Lord, help us exgrace your Word.
Oh Lord, you are holy.
Remind me you are with me.
Oh Lord, help us..."

N is always making up song lyrics and melodies. The melody was beautiful. Not sure what "exgrace" means. But she's been asking about what grace is, so she's probably experimenting with the language. Also, every night before she goes to bed, so tell us that she doesn't want to be by herself, so we have her recite Isaiah 41:10...thus the "you are with me". And the "stay indoors"...perhaps because we had to stay indoors today since it was raining? I had to both giggle and smile because it seems like she getting at least some of what we're teaching her.

Something else she said the other day that cracked me up...
"I just want to squeeze I----- so hard that his head will pop off and I will eat it for chicken!"

I often tell her that I want to squeeze my kiddos so hard and bite them because they are so cute. I think this was the influence, as well as the fact that I had just told her about her uncle eating frogs legs and it tasting just like chicken. Ha ha!

Meanwhile...our T-Max is exploding in his use of language. He's been putting two words and phrases together for the past couple of weeks, both Korean and English. He's saying words that he's never said before out of nowhere, especially words that we've been teaching him for a while. It's so much fun to hear him talk! A few of our favorite phrases are, "No yike"-I don't like this, and "I-oh-know" = I don't know. Also, he's learning to sing "Amazing Grace" and dance like the Jabbawockees (he want to watch them ALL the time!).

What's Jude Dude been up to? He turned 3 months on Tuesday. He's still eating well and sleeping well. He's doing one long stretch about 7-9 hours at night and then another 3-4 hour stretch. He's such a good little boy, we hardly hear him cry. He's giggling a lot, especially when I tickle under his collar bone with my jar or climb up his tummy with my fingers. He's gotten really good at grabbing things and bringing them to his mouth.

Love my kiddos!
