Kiddicisms

Here are the latest Anna and Matthew-isms...

Matthew, about his breakfast orange juice: "This juice is really fresh, mommy!"

Matthew keeps asking us if they have certain things in Okinawa (Mommy, do they have band-aids in Okinawa? Do they have plates in Okinawa? etc.)
When discussing where a missing toy might be...
Me: Oh, I know where it might be
Matthew (eagerly): in the basement!! Wait, does this house have a basement?

He liked his church nursery group in Rhode Island (my mom was the nursery leader) and he keeps asking if he can get on one plane so he can go to the Rhode Island nursery.

Matthew and I were having a discussion about what things are ok to hit (you can imagine why). I'm saying something like, "we can hit a pillow, but we don't hit people." And Matthew randomly finishes it up with an emphatic, "and we DON'T HIT TREES!"

When a couple planes flew over us in formation, Matthew looked up and said, "Look Mommy, they're friends."

Talking to Matthew about our anniversary...I told him it was like a birthday of when Mom and Dad got married. Matthew says, "I want to get married too! I want to marry Aunt Alycia...or maybe Kelsie (his cousin)." Sadly, I think all the little nephews want to marry Aunt Alycia, but she is already married. ;)

Anna is working on a few sentences:
I Stuck (if she or something else is stuck)
I Broked (when she broke the barn toy or anything else)
I Sorry
...usually in that order

Anna kept waking up in the middle of the night on the first night Scott was home (and very exhausted and in need of sleep). I swaddled her hoping it would help her go back to sleep. She wiggled a little trying to escape and then said "I STUCK" except she can't say the "T" sound very well...so it sounded like more of a self deprecating comment. And we were both so tired of her night waking that night, that we couldn't stop laughing. "I STUCK...I STUCK"
