I have two kids...Isabel is 8 and Luke is 6. Every since they were babies I've kept journals for each of them. I write down funny and/or memorable things that they've done or said, and I think they are so much more personal than a generic baby book. I was going through them the other day, and I thought I would share some of the funny stories with you... (and some summer photos....I really like seeing all that green especially now when I look out my window and just see piles of white!)
Luke 3/28/07
You woke up with a little cold this morning. I asked you if you wanted some medicine to make you feel better. You said yes, and I gave you some. You must have expected instant results because you said, "Awwww! It didn't work!"
Isabel 5/31/04I weighed myself this morning and declared that I had lost a pound. You asked, "Where is it, Mommy? Where's the pound?"
Luke 4/21/07Your sister got a new fairy costume just the other day. It had big red and yellow wings. Isabel came to show you, and very seriously you asked, "Can you fly?!"
Isabel 11/23/04We asked you who you wanted to be President when the election was going on and you said, "Cinderella."
Luke 5/16/07You looked at yourself in the mirror and saw a small mole on your forehead. You said, "Look! I have a polka dot!"
Isabel 12/13/04Daddy asked you last night if you wanted to write a letter to Santa. You said, "Yeah! How about an "F"?!" It was so funny.
Luke 7/10/08Yesterday you came out of the back room with Landon and said you were going to look in the mirror. I looked at you both, and you had colored with marker all over your faces! Landon had a blue and purple goatee, and you had red stripes all over! Thank goodness it was washable marker! I got after you, but it was all I could do not to laugh! That same day I came in from outside and you and Landon were drinking all of Laura's pop. She got mad at you, and you defiantly replied, "Laura! You're supposed to share!"
Isabel 3/24/07You were putting your crayons away the other day, and you were getting frustrated because they wouldn't fit. You said to the crayons, "Stand up you fools!"
Luke 3/7/09For awhile now you've been saying, "I'm serious!" frequently. Daddy just asked you what the opposite of serious was. You thought about it a little and said, "unserious."
Isabel 7/31/08You told me the other day that I needed to buy you a new video game. A horse one, because it was "a lifetime opportunity."
Luke 7/10/09You came downstairs last night and told me that you wanted to sit with me because you liked me so much. I asked you why you liked me, and you said, "Because you give me ice cream sometimes."
Isabel 8/10/09We were in a sporting goods store yesterday and you were fascinated with the punching bag. Angie was with and she was talking to you about working out. You said you didn't want to because then you would get "chubby arms."
Luke 8/10/09You told me you didn't need to go to college ever because you were already "almost rich."
Isabel 11/13/09
You asked if Chihuahuas were bred in China. I told you they were bred in Mexico. As soon as I left the room, I heard you tell Luke that China was pretty much the same as Mexico. Luke replied completely serious, "That must be why Ozzy (our Chihuahua) doesn't like me. He's from China and I'm from Iowa."
