Beginning Sounds

Kayla's getting good at knowing the beginning sound of words and naming words that start with a certain letter. Shawn's even starting to catch on in his own way. He'll say things like, "D starts with Daddy!" or "Fish starts with fairy!" (both start with the same sound). But this morning while driving Kayla to preschool and talking about the letter of the day he said very excitedly:

"Mommy, Pee Yew (p u) starts with Feet!"

I just started cracking up to which he said, "What are you laughing for?"

Shawn's different Clothing

Shawn is a little confused about his clothing:

Yesterday, yelling from his bed during nap time:
"Mom, I need a different shirt. This one has long sleeves!" (pulling at his uncomfortable collar)

This morning while putting on his pajama pants after going potty:
"These shorts are LOOONG!"

Prisoner

At the lunch table for some reason I'm not really aware of (I wasn't paying attention to them at first so I don't know how it all got started):

K: I'm going to call the police and they're going to come take you away.

S: Noooo Kayla (very whiney)

K: Yes, I'm going to call the police right now (going for my cell phone on the table)

S: Nooo Kayla! Mommy don't let her call the policeman.

K: (Holding the phone now) I'm callng the policeman and he's going to take you away.

S: Mommy! Don't let her call the policeman

I realized in the middle of this back and forth that Shawn really thought she would call and that a policeman was going to come and take him prisoner.

Marriage... Again

In the car as I'm driving myself and the kids to a baptism:

Shawn: Mommy, I will marry Kayla when we get bigger

Me: No, you'll marry another girl and Kayla will marry another boy, because you two are brother and sister."

S: No Mommy, I want to marry Kayla! (in a very big whiny voice!)

Me: Why?

S: (in that same whiny voice) Because I love her!

Me: Well, you love her because she's your sister, and you two will always be family. But you'll marry a different girl for your wife.

S: Noooo! I love Kayla!

Kayla: No Shawn, I must to marry another boy because you want to be a bad dinosaur when you get big. I must to marry a missiomary!

Needless to say he is still determined to marry Kayla

Good Eater

Kayla walks out of her room in the middle of a nap and says, "I must to have some vegetables in my room to eat."

I of course jumped right up and cut her some. I'm not going to pass up an opportunity to feed my child vegetables. Though she wanted apples too. I guess she doesn't know that those are fruit.

Marriage

KAYLA: When Shawn grow up, he wants to be a bad dinosaur. So I must marry another boy. I must to marry a missiomary!"

That's right sweetheart! I don't know that a bad dinosaur would make such a good husband. Plus the whole brother sister thing...
But I think Shawn's still set on marrying her!

Tyler's Speech

After Tyler makes a goo/cooing sound, Kayla says, "Mommy did you hear that? Tyler is talking Spanish!"
