Niki-isms

He just makes me laugh. For the most part he eats about anything--vegetables, fruits etc. but lately he refuses things and say "Make me drow up". I guess this comes from his understanding of when he was so sick he was throwing up.

He is really into this gender thing lately. I decided to use the correct terms in teaching him. He has to have something to call his pen*s, so that is what I taught him. He knows boys have one and girls don't. He was looking at a picture in our house of Jesus and said that Jesus had one and I had to agree. Günter is dreading the day when he says something about it in public or to others. Today he was sitting on the last step of the stairs and wanted Jenna to sit on his lap but soon said, "Jenna no break my peni*s".

He also is now using Yes rather than yup or yeah. He sounds so sure of himself and so grown up. In our church we encourage Family Home Evening--one evening set aside a week to do a family activity or lesson building faith. When we told Niki it was time for FHE he said "to look at pictures" (honestly that is all we can figure out to interst them and the "lessons" are only 3 minutes long). Since it was a bit late we thought of skipping the traditional treat and just moved into the bedtime routine but Niki protests and said "FHE treats now!" We couldn't deny it. I am not allowed to get away with anything now.

But that doesn't stop him from trying to get away with things. He always comes up with excuses so he doesn't have to go to bed. He wants to "play a lil bit more" or "I need to go potty"--wants to sit there for 30 minutes. It will be interesting to see what he comes up with as his imagination grows.

Jenna is the one with a miserable cold right now. Her nose is stuffed up and she is drooling even worse than normal. She can't sleep at night because she usually has her binki (yes, I know we need to break her of it, but not now) in her mouth but can't breath now. Her cough is pretty chesty and deep. I feel for her.
