While sitting on Tyler's chest, Mace said, "I can tell you have a big nose!" (I laugh every time!)
We have moved Mace and Cruz in the same room. One night after getting the kids to bed, I heard Mace crying. I rushed in their room, with hopes to calm Mace before he woke up Cruz. I asked him what was wrong and he told me their was monster in his room. I tried to reassure him that their wasn't a monster, but he insisted and told me he could hear it. So, I listened for a second. Then I put two and two together, Cruz was gently snoring. Once I told Mace that Cruz was the monster and that he was snoring, Mace laughed, calmed down and went to sleep.
On 10/25 we woke up to the first snow fall in the valley. I excitedly told Mace to look out the window. He looked and said, "Mom, I think it turned to winter. Can we go skiing now?"
One morning, while snuggling both boys in our bed, I said, "Who wants to get up?" Mace says, "Not me. I want to snuggle forever! (He still says forever: for eber- so cute!)
I have been singing the song I like to eat apple and bananas, with all the different vowel versions. Mace usually laughs and tells me that I am singing it wrong. Last night, I sang it and Mace said, "Mom, when you sing that song, it makes my ears sad."
Every morning, in an attempt to get Mace to go to the bathroom, Tyler or I will say "Who wants to go to the bathroom first? (Mace is super competitive, so we use that to our advantage when we want him to do something. ;)) Well, Cruz is starting to talk a bunch. It made me laugh as he answered with a, "MMmm" (almost like he was going to say ME!) and then I could see him rethink his answer before he smiled and said, "No, no!" and gave me a super cheesy grin!
Cruz has figured out how to give kisses. It is the funniest thing as he will almost maul you to death with kisses. And, I do have to say, he knows his stuff! He gives pretty good little kisses.
One morning, Mace wanted a bowl of cereal. As he was finishing up his cereal, I asked if he wanted more or if he was done. He said he was done, so I asked if he wanted anything else. I offered bread with jam or some apple sauce. He said, "No Mommy, I just want some pickles!"
This is an old one (from June- found it on my facebook wall) but it is funny, so it gets to be included.
Me- Mace, don't kick your bother!
Mace- I didn't kick him. I pushed him with my foot.
I can't remember this one exactly, but we were in the car and something was bothering Mace (could have been my singing, Cruz, Tyler's driving... who knows??) He said, "I don't like that. It makes me angry and sad." He has been learning about emotions this week at preschool.
Cruz found a bottle of lotion (From who knows where), brought it to Tyler and then laid down in front of him. Think he wanted a back massage??
Mace burped really loud and then said, "Excuse me, I farted!" (What??)
Mace was talking to Tyler and said, "Daddy, you are being so good. That means you don't have to go on a time out. Thanks so much for being so good. That makes me really happy and I love you so eber (forever).
I was driving with Mace. He was being so quiet and good. Randomly, he said, "Mommy, I love you so much. You are a good mommy and I will love you so eber (forever)."
Cruz's new words: (most, he will only say on command and they are hard to understand, but that's okay! We love hearing him talk!!)
ball
nose
hair
