Surprise! Get Out the Mastercard!

I'm back with a few of the promised conversations:)


Me: Christopher, please put on your shoes (or shirt/pants/socks etc).
Christopher: What?
Me: Put on your shoes.
Christopher: Huh?
Me: Christopher, put on your shoes NOW!
Christopher: WHAT?
Me: Christopher, do you want to go to gymnastics (or Rainbows...)?
Christopher: Yes!
Me: Then put on your shoes.
Christopher: OK.

I am pretty sure he got this from me, I am always having to ask him to repeat himself. Apparently he thinks it is a game. Here is #2:


Me: Christopher and Natalie, it is time to settle down and get ready for bed.
(At this point sometimes Natalie starts to run around or jump on the couch)
Christopher: Na-wie, Momma said settle down not settle up.

Isn't that sweet? I'm pretty sure that means he understands that up and down are opposites, right? Now here is one from Natalie (talking to her baby, bear or barbie):


Natalie: Bo-Bo?
Bear: No Response.
Natalie: Yes?
Bear: No response.
Natalie: MWAH. Better?
Bear: No response.
Natalie: (Smiles) Better!
Bear: Yep, no response.
Natalie: Nose?
Bear: No response.
Natalie: OK, nose (wipes bears nose).

She can go on like that for a while. She'll wipe their poo, give them baths and lay them down and tell them night night. She is such a good little mommy! Here is a photo of her reading to her babies.
