just for the record...

i'm keeping this blog not just to keep everyone updated, but to keep a record of all the fun things my kids do and say, family events and the day to day things in our home. so hopefully someday when i don't have two very little ones it is going to be put into sort of a scrap book for them to read when they grow up. that being said, here are some favorites from the last few days.

we were sitting down to dinner last night when lyla needed a nap. i put her in her crib and came out to sit down at the table. eli asked, "where is yiwa ?" i told him that i put her down for a nap. he said, "don't put her away, i like her, i want to look at her."

when we were praying last night before bed i was thanking God for all the important people in eli's life. i said, "thank you God for daddy, grandma and papa..." he interjected, "and for eyebrows aaaaannnnnd hair." so very random, but it is the second time he has thanked God for eyebrows.

he has also taken to quoting his favorite books and movies. yesterday i was explaining (again) that when he does not listen it makes mommy sad, but when he does it makes me happy. he said, "i am listening, buuuttt, i'm not. but don't worry, i'm going to take good care of you, and my friends will too." - the land before time II. i still don't know how it related to the conversation we were having at the time, but it sure lightened the mood.
