This Is How You Have A Baby

This Is How You Have A Baby

H, this last weekend, you explained to your older cousins how to have a baby.

They were in town for K’s baby dedication at church and birthday party.

I know, I know.

Ky, your birthday was 30 days ago.

But it was the only weekend we could round everyone up and do your dedication at the same time…

Nevertheless, as all the children were hunched over hurried plates of spaghetti, you announced it.

“If my mom wants another baby, she just has to poop in her wedding dress.”

I did not hear you say this firsthand, but I hear that the laughter exploded.

And at the age of 4 – well that’s close enough.

We can talk about the specifics later.

Ha!

I love you.

Chomp! Chomp! Might As Well Chomp!

Chomp! Chomp! Might As Well Chomp!

H, you sing this song about “chomp” right now and it is completely perfect.

But here is the real story.

The song is actually from the movie Sing.

Matthew McConaughy plays the voice of the koala, Buster Moon.

In one scene, Moon is auditioning animals for his show and the camera is cutting between auditions.

There are a group of frogs during the tryouts who belt out a quick refrain before the camera cuts to another group.

This refrain, you have walked around singing off-and-on for the last few months.

“Jump! Jump! Might as well jump!”

The noteworthy part is that you do not actually say that at all.

You say:

“Chomp! Chomp! Smatter and chomp!”

A week or two ago I said:

“Honey, I think they are saying Jump.”

You stopped to look at me, so I clarified.

I think they are saying:

“Jump! Jump! Might as well jump!”

You then looked at me like I was having a stroke.

Don’t ever change.

I love you.

You Are Our Pass Girl

You Are Our Perfect Pass Girl

K, you are our “pass” girl.

And I love it.

And now that you are getting older and older, you have your opinions!

To communicate, you grunt, and point, and even growl when you are feeling feisty.

Just yesterday you pointed to your cup of water and said “wa-wa.”

Lately, you have this thing where you point and say “that” – but only with the first 3 letters – so it comes across more as a breathy single syllable “tha.”

You are adorable.

When you want your pacifier, you point and grunt for us to get it – and when you do not want it you simply drop it and walk off. It is the same way with your cups of milk and water.

My little business.

I love you.
