Growing Up

                                                   Climbing on the rocks near Daybreak Lake

                                                          My big boy! He's almost 4!

                                         Laughing and hiding his face because I asked him to smile.

                                                 I told him not to look at me, so he did.
                                                         I love this picture.

"Hey Mommy, I stole your pennies they're on my thingy, you don't know how this timer goes! There's lots of  your money in there! I stole all your money and I'm going to keep it in here (a spykids safe) forever!" "I will give you some back, if you say please."- Christopher
 Boy, kids are fun when they're pretending.

He woke up this morning and exclaimed, " I growed while I was asleep I'm not 7 lbs and 60 lbs." Honey, you mean you grew in your sleep? "Yeah."
You're 30 pounds, but I'm not exactly sure how tall you are. You probably did grow in your sleep!

Christopher is eating a corn dog:

"I need Ketchup and Mustard."Mommy puts her hand to her ear."Please and thank you."That's my boy.

Daddy- Great job going to the potty Christopher, I'm so proud of you!  
Christopher- "You did a great job too Daddy, I'm proud of you too!"
Christopher- "Look Mommy, I can Fly!" Jumps off one couch to another couch.
Mommy- You totally can, honey, that's great!
Christopher- "Look Mommy, I can Fly!" Jumps off one couch to another couch.
Mommy- You totally can, honey, that's great!


Okay it's time for you to have quiet time! "My wish is your command princess!" Bouts of laughter. Okay, ready for quiet time? "No, my wish is your command oh Princess!" Does he think he's a Jedi?

August 19- "Look Mom I'm a Princess! Here's my crown!" You're a Prince. "No I'm a Princess." "Mans can be princess too." Okay then.

"Popcorn has ammonites living in it! And crabs. You see those, they're Ammonites and shells, and we're eating the Ammonites. The Ammonites get heated in the microwave and then they die. So we can eat them! Electricity!"

"Look Mom it's an enemy!" You mean anemone. "Yeah."

Time to get dressed for the day! You can get your clothes in the basement." But Mommy, it's scary and pooky down there?" Laughs from me. You mean spooky right? "Yeah."

‎"Tummy Gummies are not like the juice we find at the Farmer's Market! This one is grape juice and apple juice and pear juice, actually."- Actually is his favorite word

"Uh oh! Those thingies are getting hot for sure!
I want one I want one!"
