Funny Phrases

This morning at church Lucas was a little bossy. When I dropped him off at his class he got VERY upset that adults were standing on the road rug (It is a rug that has pictures of roads on it for the kids to drive little cars on) and he kept telling them to "get off!" When he finally got all the adults to get off the rug a girl in his class comes in and just happens to stop on the rug. Lucas looked at her with a stern face, pointed his finger at her and told her "Go to time out NOW!"
****
A few weeks ago Lucas found a tampon in the diaper bag and opened it and proudly brought it to me saying "Look Mommy, a fishing pole!"

Lucas is VERY into Buzz Lightyear right now (from Toy Story) only when he says the name it comes out sounding like he is saying "butt wipe."

I Love This Kid

Today when we got home from church Lucas was in his room quietly playing. Usually when Lucas has been quiet for too long it means that he is getting into something so I went to check on him. I found him standing in front of his bed laying a bear and a doll on his pillow and covering them up with a blanket. Next he leaned over each one and gave them a kiss and a "love you." I couldn't help myself... I let out an "awww."

Lucas turned to me and put his finger up to his mouth and gently said "shhhhh. Sleeping," and then he walked me out of the room and he closed the door behind us. A few minutes later he opened the door and excitedly said "Hi!" I guess it was time for his toys to get up from their nap.

Not a Baby Anymore

This morning I woke up like I do every morning to Lucas calling for me over the baby monitor "Mommy! I'm up! Mommy!" He wasn't crying so I just laid in bed listening to him talk to himself for a few minutes before I got out of bed. I heard him playing with a few of his musical toys which I thought was strange but I figured Curt must have let him take them to bed the night before (I was at a Bible Study so Curt had put him to bed alone.)

When I got up I heard a knock at the front door and went to answer it real quick... only there was nobody there. I thought that was strange but went to get Lucas from his room. When I opened the door Lucas was standing on the other side of the door! I was puzzled and asked him "How did you get out of your crib?"

"I am done with it!" He ran past me into the living room and ran to the window. "Hear the dog Mommy?" Our neighbors dog was barking and I hadn't even noticed. I just stood there in awe of my full sentence talking little guy.

Oh and I think Lucas will be staying in his crib for a little while longer. He can't really get out of his own yet. It turns out Curt just forgot to pull the side up on Lucas crib last night giving Lucas an easy escape route.

Kids Say the Darndest Things

During Lucas' nap this afternoon, I heard him moving around in his crib. I started listening to what he was doing and I heard him say "MaMa...DaDa...MaMa...DaDa...MaMa" in a baby sing song voice. He wasn't crying just saying the "words" over and over. When I walked in I found him standing up in his crib. He gave me a big smile and plopped his paci back in his mouth. I guess he was trying to let us know he was awake and ready to play.
