Destined for Med School

I got a picture on my phone a few days ago showing an ultrasound of Allison's baby.  Apparently, it's been a long time since I read one because I thought it was a hand and it was actually the baby's profile.  

I showed it to Ryan to see if he could see the profile and he looked at it carefully.  All of the sudden, he yelled, "Holy cow!!  It's a girl!!"

When I asked how he knew that, he turned red and ran away.

He did tell me later that he saw that the baby had "puffy hair" and that's how he knew it was a girl.

Turns out he was right - it's a girl!!  

Welcome to your crazy family,  Haven!!

Space Invaders

We were at karate last night when I heard a commotion of sirens outside.  Luke looked out the window and told me he saw an ambulance and 2 police cars.  I said, "Wonder what happened?"
He looked very serious and said, "Aliens."

Hopefully not the Goat Kind

Our cousin, Allison, is having a baby in Florida - hopefully any day now!! They didn't find out if they are having a boy or girl and my boys have been guessing what it will be.
Today Luke told me that he knows what kind of baby Allison is going to have - "a kid baby."

The Smeller's the Feller.

Luke is potty training (FINALLY!!) and is doing great.  Hasn't had a wet pull-up in a week!  Last night at basketball practice he was running around and suddenly stopped and ran over to me.  He whispered,  "will you change my diaper?"
I was surprised but said, "Sure - did you go potty?"
He smiled and yelled (of course this part he yelled...), "No!  I tooted and it is stinky!!!"

Three's a Crowd

Ryan & Andrew were discussing how many kids they are going to have someday (hopefully a LONG time from now) and Ryan said he wanted 2 boys.  Andrew said, "I want twins.  No - I want triplets!"
Ryan frowned and said that wasn't a good idea because "three babies have a hard time getting out of a mommy's tummy.  They sometimes get stuck together."

Maybe

Out of the blue today in the carpool line, Luke asked me, "Are you a crazy person?"  He seemed very concerned that I was.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Star Wars Meets Twilight

The boys were playing Star Wars (which involves much sword-fighting for some reason) and Luke came sobbing into the room. I figured he'd been smacked with a sword but he looked fine.

Finally got him to tell us that he was upset because Andrew said he was a vampire.

When we asked Andrew to stop saying that, he said, "I wasn't calling him a vampire! I told him he was part of The Empire!!"

Funky Tacos

In one of the Shrek movies, the song Funky Town is played. Luke watches it often and loves the song. Today I heard him singing it and I thought it was so cute. Then I fell over laughing when I heard his lyrics. Instead of "talk about, talk about...", he sang, "taco bell, taco bell..."

I honestly don't know if he's eaten there more than twice in his life but he must pay attention to the ads!!!

Mr. President

This morning, Ryan reminded me that he needed a picture of himself to take to school. (Of course, this is as we were walking out the door).

I mumbled and headed to the printer. I asked him what kind of pic? What size?? Any details???

He said, "Oh I know exactly. I need to look like the President and it should be 4 by 2 and 8, 3."

Huh?

I Need to Lay Off the Valentine's Candy!

Leaving church this morning, Luke asked to "Hold you."
So I picked him up and sort of grunted with his weight.
He smiled and said, "You are getting so heavy!"

He Does Speak the Truth!

I recently bought Luke a shirt that says "My Mom Rocks!" I must admit that is true but it was also in the $2.50 clearance bin so how could I pass that up?
This morning, I was wearing a shirt with some writing on it. When I went to get Luke out of bed, he saw it and asked, "What that say? My baby rock??"
YES he does!!!
