I am 8
wks. pregnant now and fighting the nausea a bit. I can't complain though because I was so much worse in my previous pregnancies (especially with Kira).
I thought I should take a moment and write down some of my favorite and the funny things that Trenton has been saying lately. (I keep forgetting to write them elsewhere).
Favorites:- "It's dewiscious (delicious)!" about what ever food he is eating.
- "OK, Mommy!" (Always music to my ears, but especially sweet the way he says it.)
- "I'm the King of the world!"
- "I love you Mommy! You're my best friend!"
- "I love you Mommy! You're my best Mom!"
- (and just the other day) "You're my best hero!"
Don't worry. He is keeping me humble. I went to pick him up from a friends house the other day and I heard through the door:
(my friend) Rachel: "Oh, I think your Mom is here!"
Trenton: "No! I don't like my mom!"
That's probably not the last time I will hear that one.
Funnies:
Trenton can't wait to have his 3-year-old "truck birthday" (in September), because he is very anxious to grow up. Kira was the same way, but I think they have different motivations. Both of my children have been under the impression at this age, that when they grow up to be big, their parents are going to grow down to be babies. I think this was particularly appealing to Kira, because she wanted to boss us around. Trenton just wants our cars. He wants to drive them and doesn't want to fight anyone for that right. He is such the gear head that he wants to try out any vehicle he sees. I have explained to him that he has to be bigger to drive cars. One day he spotted a small compact car and asked if he could drive that one since it was little like him.
I asked him if he was going to get married when he is grown-up. He said, "Uh-huh" so I asked him who he thought he would marry. "My red car!" he said. (actually he clarifies that it is his daddy's red car but when he grows down to a baby it will be Trenton's car because daddy will never drive).
Trenton has gotten very good at apologizing. He has learned that if he uses his most sincere voice and big words like "apologize" he can get out of all kinds of trouble. The other night he was getting ready to go and play at a new friends house. I asked him if he would be nice, "uh-huh!" If he would share toys with his friend, "uh-huh!" If he would listen to his friend's mommy, "uh-huh!" "And I will apologize, it was an accident!" Not only premeditated mischief but a premeditated apology.
In all fairness, Trenton isn't the only one who makes us laugh. Kira normally talks in a very adult-like voice with fairly large vocabulary words. She makes people laugh because they don't expect a child to express themselves that way, but even Kira forgets words sometimes. She was excited because they were doing a play at school, "...and Mom," she said, "I'm one of the marinators!" (She meant "narrators") I couldn't help imagining a comic book character, "Kira---The MARINATOR" complete with a bottle of worchestershire sauce!
