this is jovi's new favorite song. she thinks it's so funny and has most of the words memorized. we keep telling her we can call grandma and make sure she's ok and tell her to be careful of the reindeer and she just gets this shy smile and says "noooooo...mom you're silly".
speaking of mom being silly...the other day dan was flipping channels and there was a cooking show on and she asked to watch it. "i want to see what she's making" she said. she loves cooking shows these days. it was a woman on julia child's show making this beautiful chocolate and raspberry cake. she said "mommy that cake looks yummy". i said "not all cakes are yummy", to which she replied "oh mom, you're so silly".
other recent jovi funnies: dan took jovi to toys r us for the first time a week and a half ago. she get's toy r us and babies r us mixed up a little but she called it "babies QRS" when telling me about going. one of dan's clients had given jovi a gift card to the store for christmas last year and we hadn't used it yet! anyways, she picked out the "hungry, hungry, hippo" game. dan said when he put her in the car after they bought it, she immediately started sing "i want a hippopotamus for christmas....only a hippopotamus will do". hilarious! she has that song memorized too.
christmas is so fun when you get to see it through the eyes of a child, especially your own child.
dane has so many funnies also, but his are harder to type b/c he's not talking. he loves to grab jovi's toys or whatever she's playing with and run. he usually drops it within a few feet but keeps running. tonight he was practicing his squats (really!!) and trying to pick up a kettlebell. he screams about everything- happy, sad, whatever! especially when he wants my attention. he'll say momma, do his please sign frantically and then scream. too funny.
parenting has taught me so much. it has drawn me closer to the Lord. it has given me much more patience with others even though i seem to get to the end of mine with my kiddos so fast. i'm learning that as convicted as i am about my beliefs, how i want to raise my kids, etc...(i.e. food, values, medicine, childbirth, child raising), there is always a flip side. i don't know everything. that's sound so "duh" but it's not. ok. i'm losing my train of thought b/c my hubby just came in and is trying to talk to me and distract me :) another time...
