"Summertimes"

Blake's been talking like a big boy for a while, but I keep forgetting to write some of the funny things he says down. So here are a few recent ones...

Blake has started saying "summertimes" instead of "sometimes". It's so funny and I haven't started correcting him yet, because it makes me laugh every time!

When you ask him why he did something he simply responds "because I did it." At least he's honest!

He's also started to monitor Luke's behavior. Luke pulled his shoe off one day and Blake told him to put it back on. Well of course Luke couldn't, so he then proceeded to tell Luke he wasn't being a good listener and refused to give him his shoe back until he said he was sorry. Needless to say that never happened either.

I've realized I must say "not today" an awful lot, because if you tell Blake something in regards to going somewhere he will get a really serious look on his face and say "not today." For example, going to school, some mornings I will say "let's get up we have to go to school today" and he will say "not today." Oh how I wish it worked that way!

Oh and he can tattle! He tells us about which friends got in trouble at school and what they did. There's one little boy in particular that he always says is a "bad (or naughty depending on the day/teacher) boy." Of course he also tattles on himself. He will be the first to admit when he's been told he wasn't listening well!

I used to keep a list of all his new words in a journal, and then one day his vocab exploded and I couldn't keep up anymore. It's such a fun thing to be able to have a conversation with him and know that for the most part he understands.

And if you are wondering, Kurt is back from Mexico safe and sound. Aside from a piece of the ceiling tile on the plane falling and hitting him (waking him up too), everything went smoothly. The boys were little angels and we had a ton of fun!
