April 2008

April is kind of a blur for me, as many days or weeks can be. Dave and I had bought LTD goggles right after our trip to MX and they have taken to water like fish now that they have them. They LOVE swimming and they spend a great deal of their time under water vs. above. The lifeguard at our health club was amazed at how well they do in the water and said she has 6 yr olds that don't do that well. This is funny to hear since they have never had a swimming lesson but are enrolled to begin in May.

We've always marveled at some of the things that come from the mouths of babes! Here is just a sampling of a few cute ones that I managed to write down:

• Lindsey - "Dylan & Taylor, what color is the road?(pauses waiting for an answer). When they both say "black", she authoritatively states, "correct!"
• Lindsey - "My belly is full" (as she lifts up her shirt to show her belly after eating)
• Lindsey - "Mommy, your hair is beautiful!"
• Taylor - "I'm not a fish, I'm a scubadiver!" (when we tell her she swims like a fish)
• Taylor - "Mommy, it's going to be ok" (as she holds my face as I am exhausted during the bedtime process and she has to go potty, AGAIN!)
• Taylor - "Daddy, can you pull Cinderella from behind my ear?" (her Polly Pocket Cinderalla was MIA. Dave always pretends to perform magic and find things behind their ears, except this time he couldn't pull off the magic trick with Cinderella missing)
• Dylan - "Lindsey, get me my blankie, I'm busy right now!" (as he sits in my lap during storytime at bedtime)
• Dylan - "Come on lady, get moving!" (to the car in front of us at a traffic light that turned green - wonder where he gets this from?)
• Dylan - "Buckle your seatbelts; we're going on a roller coaster ride!" (as I was driving down a hill near our home)

Never a dull moment!!
