Moments of 2011

My sister scrawls funny lines from her kids every year and sends us a Word document with them all typed up.  I die laughing!  So this year, now that my kids can both talk, I tried to write down when they would make us laugh.  Here are a few notes from this year:

January-
Aaron:  "C'mon Timmy!  Let's go wrestle!  No - let's go wrestle NOT....sawwy, sawwy mom"

Timmy is constantly asking me:
"Should we wrestle??  Should we wrestle, mom?"

Timmy when he tried to pick up a pokey ball:
"That star is too pokey!  (trying to take it) No!  That star is yowd (loud)!  The star is pokey NOT, it's yowd!"

Timmy singing to himself to the tune "Do you know the muffin man?"
"Do you know awiawa, awiawa, a hot dog dance..."

Timmy and Aaron like to get and give raspberries on their bellies.
Aaron will lie down and lift his shirt, "asking for it" and lie still while Timmy blows on his tummy.  They'll both laugh.  Then, Timmy will lie down and wait for Aaron to reciprocate, and he wants it, but he is ticklish and squirming....can hardly stand the anticipation.... before Aaron even gets near him.  I have to hold Tim's arms down to let Aaron give Timmy a raspberry without getting reflex hit by Timmy.  And then they do it again!

February-
At the (urgent care) Dr.'s office - there were lots of cool fish.  Timmy started telling me their "names"
"A dalmation fish" (spotted)
"A Dori fish" (blue)
"A Nemo fish" (orange)
"A master Shifu fish!"  - (a catfish) because it had long feelers on the sides of it's mouth like master Shifu from Kung Fu Panda.

Timmy has started giving me a play-b-play while he is watching TV.  "Panda's eating!"  "Pandas gonna fall down!"  "He's gonna get 'im!"

I wrote down this story Timmy made up today word for word:
"Daddy says, 'I want a Cars and Toy Story Bandaid, Timmy.'
Timmy says, 'OK - you need 5 smiley faces.'
And Daddy gets 5 smiley faces, and Timmy gives him 5 Bandaids and daddy says, 'Thank you, Timmy!'"
Then the story continues...
"'Daddy says, 'Can I have a Bandaid Timmy?'
Yeah, you gonna have a Bandaid
You get 5 smiley faces, OK Dad?  OK?
And dad says, 'OK'
You get a Bandaid!"

Timmy keeps asking me for a Bandaid on his "fumbs", which is what he calls all of his fingers.  He even asked me for one on his neck today!

After an particularly and incredibly ornery and whiny morning, Timmy ended the day with this sweet little moment.  I had put him to bed and I heard this little voice politely ask "Will you snuggle me, Mom?"  How could I say "no" to that?  We snuggle for a minute, then when I think he's asleep I hear "Can I have some milk mom? "No, but you can have some water." "Yeah.  I'd like some water."   I get it for him and then he quietly goes to sleep.  Such a difference from the morning!

Today I got a "Hey Mommy! Guess what!"
"What?"
"I LOVE YOU!"

One morning I gave Scott a hug.
Timmy says "Guess what?!"
Scott answered "What"
"Daddy loves Mommy!"
"Yep!" I say and I give Scott a kiss.
Timmy yells "NO!  Mommy is mine!  No kissing!"

I gave Timmy a waterproof band aid on his finger that was clear.  "Is that cool?!" I said, hoping that he wouldn't ask for a Toy Story band aid that I knew would fall off after 5 minutes.
"A window band aid!" he said excitedly.
"Oh good!" I thought "he thinks it's cool!"
About 3 minutes later, Tim says "I take it off!  I try a Toy Story band aid and a Cars band aid!  We can buy a more special band aid.  Yellow, red, yellow, red."
Darn.

March-
Aaron pointed to the Priesthood passing the sacrament excitedly yesterday and said "Dada! Dada, mamma!  dada!  It seemed to me that he was saying "Look at all the daddies, mommy!  Daddies!"

Timmy says a lot lately "Should we play, mom? or "Should we watch a show, mom?" as his way of asking. (Obviously, this is copying the way I ask him to do things)

Scott showed the boys part of Star Wars for the first time last night and they were HYPER after.  Aaron was running back and forth as fast as he could and Timmy was pretending to fight with a light saber.  Scott was elated!

April-
Timmy "bonded" with Anna today.  They were enjoying running around together and Anna (our adult friend) was super excited to tickle Timmy's face. He was soaking up the attention!

Aaron's phrases
"I 'unt dass, mama!"  (I want that, mom!)
"I 'unt mehr, mom!" (I want more, mom!)
"Na, na, na, na, na" (no, no, no, no, no)
Nil = Milk
ooo = spoon
I 'unt ooo = I want a spoon

May - 
Aaron has learned to LOVE the Plasma cars!  He scoots around and around in a circle on the sidewalk in front of the apartment.  He also LOVES to push the doll stroller around, slide on the slides, and JUMP off anything that is a few inches tall.

Aaron has a little demanding voice, that he likes to use when he really wants something.  We find it super-amusing, and darling to see him use it, with his little two year old body and face, getting red in the face and stomping his feet.  He'll say "I 'unt RIGHT NOW!" while he shakes from the intensity of it all.

Scott raised Timmy's chair so he could eat more comfortably on a BIG chair.  Timmy said "Thank you Daddy!  You are a good helper! You are a good boy! Mmmm (kissing)"

Timmy was making fish motions with his hands.  I said "Are you a shark?"  He said "No, I'm a fishy"
"And what do you eat little fishy? Oranges?"
"No - I eat, I eat, PENGUINS!  Little tiny penguins"

Scott's rinsing Timmy's back in the tub.
"Now my nudder back!"
"Your other back?  You mean.....your front?"
"Yeah! My front!"

July-
After kissing Scott with a beard, Timmy exclaimed "Ewwww!!! It's Sparky!!"

While Timmy and Scott were wrestling Timmy said "You have a rope in your nose!"
"A hair?"
"Yeah, that's right!  A hair!"

Oct-
I was speaking to Timmy in an English Accent while we were in Windsor, Canada one day:
"Here we are at the Queen Elizabeth Gardens!"
Timmy "No!  Auf English!"
(That is what he frequently says when I speak to him in German)

Aaron says "No Hanks!" a lot (No thanks)
and "Nough yegh!"  (Not yet)...which he says instead of saying No Thank you.

Nov -
Timmy was in his first Primary Program at church today.  When I said this morning "Timmy!  Are you excited for your Primary Program today?!"
He responded immediately by saying "I can be a missionary now, by being an example of Christ, and by telling people about the Book of Mormon!"  (his part)
Whoa!  He is ready!

Dec- 
Aaron likes to say
"OK! Just a minute!"
"C'mon Mom!" (and pulls my arm!)
"Help me Mom!" (and pulls my arm!)
"I wuv you!"
"Mom - I go downstairs!"
"I need 'a go da basement and pay wiff my choo-choos!"
He likes to talk really loud, but when I remind him he can speak in his "quiet voice" really well.
