Snips and Snails: 3

7:00 AM Posted In , 7 Comments »

10/16 On the way home from the Harvest Festival I hear Cameron shout "eeeew!" I asked him what was wrong and he said "oh nevermind...I thought I had something slimy on my jeans...on my APPLE BOTTOM jeans."




10/18 Cameron discovered a small air freshner disc in the cup holder of my car, about the size of a nickel. He asked me what it was and I told him it was an "air freshner." Next thing I know, he is sticking it in his ear. I quickly realized my mistake in not pronouncing my words more clearly. He thought I said "EAR freshner."




10/30 After watching Cameron jump around the living room, it was apparent he needed to use the restroom. He tends to hold it for as long as possible and HATES to sit in the bathroom alone. I asked him to come along with me to the bathroom as I had to go too (been drinking LOTS of water lately-yay me!) and he agreed. I went first and flushed when I was finished. I said, "okay Cameron- your turn!" He walked in and took a big whiff and said "ahh...I like the smell of your pee, mom...it smells like cereal!" (I know that's gross but it was funny!) so then he proceeds to go potty himself and as he is doing his business says "let's see how mine smells!" (meanwhile, I am laughing so hard, I'm crying.) He finishes and says "yep. Mine smells like cereal also. Why don't you take a whiff?!" I couldn't stop laughing. As he watched me in hysterics, he said "that's obnoxious."
11/22 While I was cooking dinner Cameron sat at the counter and played as he watched me. He says to me, "Mom, are you attracted to police officers?" I just stared at him in disbelief. I still haven't figured out where he learned the word "attracted" or how he knew to use it in that context.


11/23 Cameron and Nguyen were watching TV and Cameron, out of nowhere, looks at Nguyen and asks, "Dad, to we have chicken meat inside of us?"


Thankful A to Z: "N"

Tonight ESPECIALLY I am thankful for NGUYEN who is sitting upright in our living room with a feverish, snotty, pukey baby on his chest. The snot and the fever I can handle...the yonks- not so much! Thank you Nguyen from saving me from my worst fear ever!! Poor Gabby...and daddy!

Excuse the interruption...

I know you're all just loving my "thankful from A to Z" posts but this is too cute and I really don't feel like waiting until "S" to say I am thankful for Santa so...

Haha. I really TRULY thought this year would be the year Gabby would scream her head off at the sight of Santa (and forgive me but I was almost looking forward to a picture like that) but she surprised me.

.

We were at the mall the other day and I had no idea Santa had already set up shop but alas, he had. I thought there was no better time to take pictures since there was absolutely NO line. I only wish Cameron would have been dressed up a little more. Aw well.

.

We walked up and the friendly picture-taker-girls greeted us and began discussing package options. Just as they started their schpeal, I see Cameron walk right up to Jolly Ole St. Nick and hop right up on his lap. Apparently he had things he needed to bring to Santa's attention and there was no time to waste. He was too funny. After I chose the cheapest package they offered, I walked Gabby over and introduced her to the guy with the funny beard. To my surprise, she lunged for him and that was that. Cameron told me later that he asked Santa for a "transporter truck with lots of little cars on it." I think Santa can handle that request ;)

Thankful A to Z: "M"

I am thankful for MOBILITY. Just this morning, Gabby put on a show for me and demonstrated her new trick. We have been working on cruising for about a week and it looks like she has it down! I am so excited. She'll be walking before I know it and I can't wait!!

Thankful A to Z: "L"

I am thankful for LEATHER seats in my car because seriously, without them my car would be an even worse disaster then it already is.

I know...this one was totally lame. Sorry.

Thankful A to Z: "K"

I am thanful for sweet kisses from my kids. Cameron has been such a sweet boy lately and it is not uncommon for him to stop playing for a second to look up at me and say, "mom, I really love you" which he then follows up with a smooch. He's going to be a ladykiller, I know it.
.
Gabby is also an affectionate little love. She learned to kiss or "give loves" as we like to say, about five months ago. Her favorite people to kiss are a) herself whenever she sees a picture or b) a baby doll. That isn't to say that she doesn't give us love too...we get smooches, but only when we ask for them (which is ALL the time!)

Thankful A to Z: "J"

It's alright...you can totally roll your eyes at me but I am thankful for JANIE AND JACK. Even though I spend way too much money there, I still adore this store. My kids will appreciate this one day when they look back at all of their photos and see how well-dressed they were...right?
