Huh?

All of our children crack us up in one way or another, but the things they say when they are first trying to tackle this whole language thing has to be the funniest.

Lindsey amused greatly by saying Ho-ka-moma for Oklahoma and Mal-mart for Wal-mart. Even today, at 12 yrs. old, she said, "Let's leave them a U-nonimous note."

Trey's current favorites are eatmeal instead of oatmeal and vanilla bar rather than granola bar. However, the best and most puzzling mispronunciation, was at barely 2 when he began saying "Dra-nus". Hmmm, we weren't really quite sure what he was saying and he said it fairly regularly. In addition, he would say, "You are a dra-nus." He always said it with a sweet face (he wasn't being mean), but we couldn't help notice the similarity to the word "anus". Was that what he was calling us and what was going to stop him from calling a teacher or one of our friends or God forbid, his Papa that? This went on for months and months and I still had no idea ... no idea what he was trying to say.

Finally, one day he was getting up on the table or something and I said, "Watch it boy! You're dangerous!" and he said, "You're dranus too Mama!"

Ah! Mystery solved.

New look

Yea! I got a new background! For some reason, the old one washed out my pictures. This one makes them look nice and crisp and bright.

First Haircut

Well the Ty-Bo got his first haircut the other day and He LOVED it! Just look at that expression ...


However, I think he's thrilled to look nice and sharp. He was really beginning to feel embarrassed. Once he gets the leopard cape off, it'll be all good! He's such a manly-man, that thing was making him sooo mad.

He's fine ... really! Hey lady, what are going to do with that there tape? Huh? Ok, I'll quit crying ... you don't have to tape my mouth shut ... Geez!

Not my boy ... anymore.

Trey came in the other day and asked me how to write "I love you". I joyfully wrote it out for him, eagerly awaiting the love note to come. He took his time and beautifully wrote it out, only slightly messing up the "u". I couldn't wait for him to present it to me as he got out of his chair to show it to me. Oh, I ooh-ed and ah-ed and even began to tear up a bit. He looked so proud of himself, then took it back and said, "I'm gonna go put it in my backpack." I said , "Why are you putting (my note) in your backpack?". He said, "Because it's for my girlfriend. I know her name now. It's Jayden." And with that, he left me alone and with no note and a broken heart.
