What Jesus Wants
In case anyone’s wondering what’s on the mind of Jesus today, Matthew has informed me that Jesus wants Daddy to play with us in the playroom when gets home from work.

A Moment of Clarity
A moment of clarity courtesy of Matthew…
I’m changing Adelaide’s diaper while Matthew & I sing one rendition of The Poopy Song. Matthew breaks mid “cha-cha-cha-cha” to explain to his sister, in his most serious tone with his most serious facial expression, that “We don’t eat poopy because it’s DANGEROUS.”
A Musical Milestone!
After trying on and off throughout the afternoon, Adelaide has finally figured out how to play the harmonica!! Or at least make a little music with it. 🙂 She is quite thrilled with her accomplishment, and so are we!
Three Cheers for Her Big Brother!
Our kiddos certainly don’t want for praise, acknowledgment, or encouragement. I was feeding Adelaide her dinner while Mike and Matthew were whipping up some smoothies. (She had a late nap, and, consequently, a late dinner.) Whenever Matthew got a “good job,” “awesome work,” or “way to go,” Adelaide stopped eating to clap for her big brother. 😀
Where is Baby T’s Daddy?
We’re playing with magnetic letters and numbers. Matthew just asked about the small “t.” “What is it?” he asked, and I answered, “It’s a small letter “t.” Matthew replied, “Oh, it’s a baby t! Where is baby t’s daddy?”
We are ALL ready for Mike to be home! lol

RDA. Random displays of affection. This is one of Matthew’s super powers.
I’m feeling pretty raw right now what with the lack of sleep & all, and no doubt it’s showing on my face & in my disposition. We’re sitting at the table having lunch when Matthew reaches over, takes my hand, and kisses it. Then he leans down and presses his little cheek against my hand, looks me in the eye, & tells me that he loves me. Then, without missing a beat, he went right back to munching. Thank you, Lord, for moments like this.
Me Bath
Out of the mouth of Adelaide: Me bath!
Oh, how I love watching ’em learn and grow! 🙂
Nursing Butterfly, Nursing Tiger
Matthew’s newest analogy for nursing: “I drink nectar like a butterfly!”
Last night, he was a tiger: “Roar, roar, nurse, roar! Matthew Tiger nurse, roar!” lol I don’t know if I’ll miss nursing per se or Matthew’s hilarious nursing anecdotes/antics. lol
Matthew calls Fortissimo
Unable to get his father’s (who’s working in the backyard) attention from “this side” of the back door, Matthew says, “Mommy, I must call fortissimo. DADDY!!!” lol
She Who Nurses Dragons
Apparently one of Matthew’s toy dragons injured his foot yesterday. I’m guessing the culprit was a hard landing or something of that sort. Matthew told me about the dragon’s hurt foot when I noticed him trying to comfort it. Matthew then asked me to nurse the dragon: “Mommy, nurse dragon, pwease, pwease, pwease!” I lovingly obliged, and Matthew dutifully burped his dragon afterward.
lol
P.S. Thanks for sending over the dinosaurs, Alys. Adelaide LOVES them, too!
