Kids Say the Funniest Things

Butterfly People

Every night before bed, Belle and Trey climb into my lap for Bible story time. Before I read the story, I ask them to look at the picture with the story and tell me what they see. The story last night was about the birth of Jesus and there was an illustration of a typical angel with wings. It was Trey's turn to identify things he saw, and he pointed at the angel and said, that's a "butterfly people".

The other day, Trey was sitting in Jeff's lap. Trey picked his nose and said, "Look Daddy! I made a spiderweb!"

Mealtime Prayers

The kids have started praying for meals. Trey’s prayers are simply “Thank you Jesus, Amen.” But Belle prays for different things each time. Today at lunch Belle prayed, “And thank you for everything I want.”

For a while now, Trey has known his letter names, letter sounds, and numbers. In the past two weeks, Trey has started using basic three-word sentences and has expanded his vocabulary quite a bit. However, unless you're around him a lot, you don't recognize all that he says.

This evening I was fixing dinner and he was up on the stool beside the counter, supervising me. I had rolled out some dough to wrap around the hot dogs andhad cut away the excess. I left the scraps on the counter while I popped the hot togs into the oven, then went to the fridge to get my kombucha. When I turned around, Trey had a handfull of the dough scraps, and was happily munching away on them. He pointed to the bottle of kombucha and promptly exclaimed "Share!"

I had a good laugh, as that's the first time I've heard him use that word. I poured him some in a small glass, he swigged it down and asked for seconds.

This is Trey's response anytime anyone says "Cheese!" to him. LOL!

Trey's still babbling, saying quite a bit of nonsense in with the words he knows. He especially likes the words "no" and "mine" when dealing with his older sister, and "oh no, mama!" or "wow!" to anything and everything that happens.

We had Belle's fourth birthday party this weekend. Trey thoroughly enjoyed his gluten-free cupcake with non-dairy icing. LOL It will be fun to see how he does for his own birthday next month.

Trey has decided it's time to potty train. We can't convince him to keep a diaper on to save our lives. So to help move things along, I went and bought some training pants and some big boy underwear, and some mini M&Ms. I'm not above reward or bribery when it comes to helping along learned skills unrelated to behavior. LOL So he now knows where the M&Ms stay in the bathroom, and proudly reminds me to give him one after we're done doing the happy dance for suscessful potty trips.

We'll see how this goes. If he does train, this will be the second child I have who has potty trained themselves without me having to initiate it or do much to help.

Trey is growing fast. His current vocabulary consists mostly of a handful of words intelligable to all, quite a few only intelligable only to mama, a lot of grunts, and a few ASL signs. But he's always doing cute stuff, so we want to share. We'll post things as they happen.
