November 4, 2012 - What Henry Smells

Today my favorite moment was when Henry said in a disappointed tone, "I smell...[dramatic pause like he is trying to figure out the scent he is picking up]....my farts!" Like he was surprised it gross or something.  It's just funny the things a four year old will say.

October 17, 2012 - Two Brothers

Today my favorite moment was when we were at the store and I was ready to go so I started to walk away and Jaxon wasn't following so I told him bye, and Henry said to me, "Don't leave Jaxon.  I want two brothers!"

August 9, 2012 - Foldermort

Today my favorite moment was when Henry said, "Maybe he's called Foldermort 'cause he folds things.  Yeah, he folds envelopes."  [Voldermort] lol  Yeah, Henry...maybe...

June 25, 2012 - Moon Pop

Background:  There's an Asian man in our grocery store who sells rice cakes.  This guy shouts, "Moon Pop rice cakes!" from his little booth near the sushi counter.  My kids think it's funny and when we pass him (and even when we are at home) they do impressions of him.

Today my favorite moment happened when my little guy Henry and I were at the grocery store.  Henry knew we were almost to the Moon Pop guy and he looked at me with a smile on his face and said excitedly, "He's gonna say it..."

June 19, 2012 - Potato Bug

Today my favorite moment was a conversation I had with Henry...

Henry:  "This potato bug out here is sad."

Mommy:  "Why?"

Henry:  "Cuz I drive on it.  That's why it's sad.  I was sorry for doing that."

June 18, 2012 - Always

Today my favorite moment was when Jaxon walked in as I was getting ready and putting guy makeup on and he said, "Mommy, you look pretty."  I told him thank you and Henry said, "I want to see if Mommy looks pretty."  Jaxon then told Henry, "Mommy always looks pretty.  Always."  What a sweetheart!

June 17, 2012 - Cinnamon Roll

Today my favorite moment was when Henry was saying his prayers before bed and he said, "I'm thankful I could eat a cinnamon roll tomorrow."

Devin had made the dough but it wouldn't be ready to bake until after the boys went to bed so we told them they could have one tomorrow.

February 13, 2012 - A Punch in the Face

Today my favorite moment was when Henry was talking to his cat stuffed animal and told him, "You'll get a bum spank if you do that again."  Jaxon said to Henry, "No, Henry.  Cats don't get bum spanks."  "Okay," Henry said, "You'll get a punch in the face."  I started cracking up 'cause really, a punch in the face?  Woah.

January 25, 2012 - Nursery to Primary

Today my favorite moment was when we were talking about how Henry used to go to Nursery but now he goes to Primary and he asked, "Is I am a nursery children?"  It's so fun when they try to put sentences together and they don't come out quite right!

January 23, 2012 - Millie's Gone

Background:
My parents had to put down one of their dogs, Millie, because she was really old and sick.  They have another dog named Toodles.


Today my favorite moment was when Jaxon was asking about Millie and why she died.  After I explained, he said, "So, there's just Toodles alone?  Oh boy!"

And then Henry said, "Oh girl!"

January 22, 2012 - Henry

Today my favorite moment was when Henry said, "Mommy, smell my armpit.  Smell it!  It's not stinky 'cause I taked a bath."

January 21, 2012 - Sugar Bugs

Today my favorite moment was when Henry said, "Mommy, if you put your fingers in your teeth sugar bugs will eat your fingers."

January 18, 2012 - Henry

Today my favorite moment was when I told Henry to spit out the penny he put in his mouth and he said, "But I blowed the dirt off!"

November 14, 2011 - Henry

I haven't posted for a while.  I have notes for moments I want to record, I just haven't posted them yet.  But for those 2 of you who read this, they'll be a-comin'...don't you worry!

Today my favorite moment was when Jaxon put an Ironman Band-Aid on his face and asked Henry, "Who am I?"  Henry went with the obvious, "Ironman!"  "Nope, guess again." Jaxon replied.  "Band-Aid Guy!"  Henry shouted as though he ingeniously guessed correctly.  

I'm not even sure who Jaxon was pretending to be.  I just started laughing at Henry's idea of a super hero!

November 1, 2011 - Skbeds

Today my favorite moment happened during dinner.  Henry spilled some water and Devin said, "Uh oh, spageds."  (Like "uh oh, spaghettioes" but abbreviated.)  Henry said "Uh oh, skbeds!"  It was just his cute little twist on the word that made us all crack up.  Jaxon was laughing so hard!  Henry loves to make people laugh so of course he kept saying it and Jaxon just kept laughing!

October 30, 2011 - Henry

Today my favorite moment happened when I told Henry to clean up some toys.  He said that Daddy dumped them out so Daddy needed to clean them up.  I asked Devin if Henry was making stuff up and he let me know that earlier Henry sneakily had Devin admit to dumping out those toys for Ollie to play with.  Henry thought if Daddy dumped them out, Daddy would have to clean them up even if Henry played with them.  Nice try Henry!  I told him, "You are working the system, Henry."  He said shyly, "I'm not working for the system."  He had no idea what he was saying, so it was adorable!

October 24, 2011 - Henry

Today my favorite moment was when Henry was looking at a stuffed animal that had been chewed on a little by the dogs.  He said, "Look at his ear.  The dogs chewed it up then pooped it out.  That what Jaxon told me."  Those two together are such a crazy pair!

October 20, 2011 - Henry

Today my favorite moment happened after we got home from running errands.  It was late, so we were skipping baths and just washing, hands, feet, and faces, and putting clean clothes on the boys.  When Henry learned he wasn't going to have a bath he asked, "Do I don't have a stinky bum?"  First, I love the way he forms sentences.  Second, I think it's funny that he thinks the reason he gets baths is because his bum is stinky.  I guess he is right though!

October 19, 2011 - Trampoline

Today my favorite moment was when the boys wanted to jump on the trampoline and I turned the water on and they went crazy with excitement.  It was so cute to see them jumping and laughing.  A few minutes later, I thought to move the trampoline to where the grass needed water.  Then, a more favorite moment was when I was struggling to move it while Jaxon and Henry watched soaking wet in the underwear and Henry said, "Mommy, I will help you."  He came over to help and Jaxon followed his lead.  It was so adorable that Henry thought to help.

September 9, 2011 - Dumbledoor

Today my favorite moment was when Henry was saying his prayers.  He said, "Thank you for Jaxon and Ollie and Mommy and Daddy and Dumbledoor.  Name of Jesus Christ, Amen."

I'm thankful for Dumbledoor too, Henry.
