I love being a mom!! It is my greatest joy and often quite hilarious - especially with a 2 and 4 year old. They can say the funniest things...for instance....
Last week I was going to a funeral and as I was rushing the boys out the door I put on some lipstick. Yousef looked at me and said, "Mom, why did you put on lipstick? Are you looking for a husband?"
It always makes me smile when I hear the boys say something I can hear myself saying - oh, except when it makes me cringe!! So the other day Yousef says to Ammon the two year old, "Ammon, don't even think about it!" Ammon pauses a minute, gets that look on his face and says, "I'm thinking about it!!"
Just now the boys are playing and Yousef threatens Ammon if he doesn't do something then he's not going to be his best bud. Ammon replies in this soft sweet voice, "Jojo, I happy, you happy." Aaahh, what if we did that in all our relationships - let's make sure you're happy and I'm happy!
A bit ago I was on the floor playing with the boys and Yousef asks, "Mom, are you going to marry Ammon when he gets bigger?" I say, "Don't you want to marry my?" He replies, "Uh Mom, are you going to look like this when I get bigger?" and he holds up an invitation to Bella's Circus Party with a trapeze artist on the front. I laugh and say, "No." "Then Mom, no." Ouch!!
Ammon has that cute little 2-year old voice and is talking up a storm. It's so sweet to hear him talk - even when he's saying things like, "Don't tell me!!" or "Don't call me bad!" if he thinks he's in trouble. I keep telling him he's never bad, he just needs to make good choices but even when he doesn't, he's never a bad person. Still it is kind of sweet/sad how he says it!
