Tuesday Tidbits (on Wednesday)

I am so bad about keeping up with my Tuesday Tidbits posts. I have a few weeks of funnies to post! Lexie has been extra funny lately!

Lexie now knows what her mommy and daddy's first names are. On several recent occasions, she has woken up and called out to me, "Mommy! Mommy! I awake. Mommy? " When that failed to get a response, she tried, "Stepanie. Stepanie! I awake now!"

Last week, I had a bad cold, and I was trying to get Dylan to nap with me while Lexie was sleeping. He asked if he could sit on the floor and color while I napped. I checked on him every few minutes, and saw the top of his head, and assumed he was coloring. He wasn't. Instead, he had decorated the door to my room with foam stickers. And honestly? They are still there! ;)

Every time I pick Lexie up, she pats my back a few times with her tiny hand. It is the sweetest thing ever, and I don't want her to stop doing it.

Speaking of tiny hands, Dylan's are still small. Not for long.


The kids love watching "Happy Feet." Lexie walked out the other day with a toy between her feet, and said, "Mommy, look at my penguin baby egg!"

Dylan has always done a great job taking care of his teeth. He religiously brushes and rinses with a mouthwash 3 times a day. The other day, I jokingly asked him if he wanted to use his daddy's Listerine. He replied, "No, I like my Listerine. It's spicy!!!"

This is what happens when Lexie gets tired. She stares into space. Grant refers to it as her "glazed over" look.

Lexie loves our cat, Cosette. In the summer, our two cats spend the entire season on our warm sunporch. When it cools down, they move inside. Lexie is thrilled to have them back in. Lexie *can* say Cosette's name correctly. She just chooses not to. Instead, she lovingly refers to her as "Swingset." The name is catchy. I don't think we've used her actual name in weeks!
