look who's talking...

Hannah has two new words: hot and owww.  Added to her list of mama, dada, uh-oh.  At her 12 month check up, her pediatrician said she would be happy with five words by 18 months.  {Five by 13 months isn't bad}  She also shakes her head yes and no, particularly when we say "no" to doing something she shouldn't be.  :)  If you tell her it's time to get a new diaper she will start walking to her bedroom.  I would love to believe that means she will be easy to potty train.  I have a feeling it will be the opposite when the time comes!

*****************

Although we have no clue what she is saying, sometimes she will get right into Lucas' face and blabber a whole bunch, then use some hand gestures and blabber a little more.  I wish I could document it... it always makes us laugh, Lucas especially.

It was one of those nights that we didn't have much motivation for supper at our house.  Trying to decide what to eat, Brent asked Lucas if he wanted a hot ham & cheese sandwich.  Lucas likes ham sandwiches, but this would be his first with this special recipe. 
"Lucas, my grandma used to make me hot ham & cheese sandwiches.  They are really good," Brent told him.
"Gramma Connie?"
"No, my Grandma.  Gramma Connie's mom.  You don't know her; she lives in heaven."
"I will meet her when I get to heaven," Lucas said matter of factly.  But then it occurred to him "I won't know her." 
"She will know you," Brent assured him.
"Yeah, when I get really old I'll go to heaven."

"Lucas, there is pee on the toilet seat, go clean it up," I instructed him.
"Why is it there?"  he wondered.
"Because you peed on the toilet seat."
"Oh."  He goes to the bathroom and comes back. 
"Did you clean it up?" I asked.
"Yep, I used the blue towel."  I laughed and laughed.  Then I immediately put the blue towel in the laundry; it was the hand towel in the bathroom.  I didn't tell him to use toilet paper, I assumed he would - never safe to assume with a four year old.  :)

I told Brent this story and he laughed, too.  His comment, "well, at least he told you he used the towel."  Point well taken.
