December Shordy-isms

We didn't do much for New Year's Eve.  The Swanson's were having the traditional hockey game on the lake and a party at their house.  But, Darcy had just a new baby girl about 2 weeks before and Tiny had a bit of cold and I didn't want her baby to catch the cold so we stayed home.

Shayne was also gone to a basketball tournament in Anchorage for 3 days and didn't get home until later.  So, we just decided to stay home.

So, instead of pictures of a fun New Year's Eve and  a post about the events surrounding it, I thought I would just post some funny little things our Shordy had said in the past month of so.  This kid cracks us up!  He comes up with the funniest things.  His little brain is pretty creative and you can tell he thinks about lots of things...and he trying to figure things out.  So, the things he says are pretty dang cute as he's learning about his world.

Here are some cute stories little things he's said:

One day he wanted to play something and I told him he had to wait until I got dinner started and I needed to get a pot out.  He just looks at me and says..."C'mon Mom.  Jus pick a pot!  Jus pick a pot Mom."

Playing with Bo, our Golden Retriever, he stops and says to me, "Mom, Bo's my bery bes friend."

One day he just started saying about different things, not always in context, "That's fantastic!"  or "Dat's bery interesting!"

I was changing Tiny's diaper one morning and Shordy was paying more attention to this chore than normal and I could tell he was thinking about something.  Then after a minute he says to me, "Mom, she doesn't have a pee-pee.  How she go pee?  She doesn't have a pee-pee."  I had to take a minute and tell him that girls are different than boys and they don't have pee-pee's...but they can still go pee.  Needless to say I had a small smile while explaining this.  Can't say this kid doesn't pay attention to things.

This next morning after the pee-pee conversation he decided he needed to read one of his favorite books to his baby sister.  So, he sat down on the floor with her and read "Thidwick the Big Hearted Moose" to Tiny.  It was pretty cute.  Too bad her attention span is only long enough to look at one page before she wanted to play with something else.  But, he tried.  :)

So, at the end of October we had just finished up baseball season and had been watching quite a bit of baseball.  During the 7th inning stretch they sing "God Bless America" and he loves this song.  So, dad has taught him the song and they sing it at night before bed.  Well, one morning he was walking around the house singing, "Sing 'bout 'Merica!"  over and over again.  Too cute.

Later that day after his dad came home from work he was wanting some one on one attention from his dad. But, dad was holding Tiny and giving her some kisses and just holding her for a bit.  Shordy decided he needed to get rid of that baby sister, so he tries to grab her leg and then tells his dad, "Dad, she needs to feed.  She needs to feed dad."  Thinking that he could give Tiny to Mom so his Dad could play with him.

I think I've already mentioned this one, but after playing with a little block nativity scene he brought the Three Wisemen to me and told me, "Mom, it's the free wiseman!  Dey sing Happy Birfday to Jesus!  And give him presents too!"  I smiled and agreed.  I told him I'm sure they sang Happy Birthday to Jesus and that the baby Jesus loved his presents from the Wisemen.

He got a Woody, Buzz, and Bullseye characters for his birthday and he loves them.  Three months later they are still his favorite toys and he plays lots of imaginary games with them.  Well, one day he was running around with Buzz flying him through that air and was yelling, "To Infinity and Beyond!" over and over again.  It was so dang cute!

These are just some of the funny things he says.  He says something to make us smile almost every day.  In fact, at the end of the day when Shayne and I are winding down for bed, he often asks me..."So what did he say today?"

We love this little boy and his cute funny imagination.  We are so grateful for him and the joy he brings into our lives.
