Little Gems

Zoey has been at Nature Camp every morning this week, giving Zander and I some quality time together. It has been fun, he is quite the conversationalist, that is when he isn't asking for "daddy juice in a sippy cup." (Which by the way is 75% of what he says in a day.)

Today as the two of us were talking about this and that, he said, "Call me Thunder. Thunder is scary." I think that it could work for him as a fun nickname!

Zander is also in a little bit of a hitting phase. But he doesn't quite understand the terminology or the severity of the situation. When we catch him hitting (usually Zoey), he says, "I not hit. I punched!" Tyler jokes about showing him a continuum of hits, hoping that it may show him the differences.

A few weeks ago, I was reading the Mrs. Wishy Washy books to Zander for the umpteenth time and started to ad-lib to make it more interesting for me. The read words say, "Just look at you she screamed." I said, "Just look at you she screamed from the top of her lungs." Zander matter of factly told me, "No she didn't, she screamed from her mouth."


Because I don't feel like I do this enough, here are some lists about the kids at this time in our lives.

Favorite Movie: Mulan (for both kids)
Favorite Song: I'll Make a Man Out of You from Mulan (for both kids)
Favorite Book: Zander asks for the Mulan book all the time lately. Previously he likes all 5 Mrs. Wishy Washy Books and when we read them, we have to read ALL five!
Zoey is still partial to all of her princess books and Fancy Nancy.
Favorite Colors: Zander likes blue. Zoey likes pink.
