Congrats, congrats, congrats! I can't wait to hear more about it. I hope it was the most wonderful thing (well, since Hayden and Halle... :) ) I think a craft group video chat is requisite in August!
Erin-- Your story was absolutely amazing. Dare I say how jealous I am? :o) I labored for 13 hours with hypnobabies and gave up. What an awesome experience you had and I'm so glad that things went well for you in a home birth that you wanted! What a little miracle. Oh, and he's a beautiful baby... :o)
Halle: Mommy, when I grow up, I'm gonna make stuff.
Me: What do you want to make?
Halle : (puts fingers on chin) Um.... wet me fink about it...
Oh! I know! Pea soup. And when you grow down, you're not gonna make stuff anymore.
Halle: Mommy, you know what I'm gonna dream about tonight?
Me: What?
Halle: I'll talk about it in the morning. It's going to be a surprise!
Halle: Mommy, you know what I dreamed about last night? I had a (cue really sweet soft voice and rocking actions) wittle tiny baby, and I rocked him to sleep at night. (cue scary loud voice) And then he waked up, and a dinosaur came, and ate him!
Hayden: I want a little baby duck. And she could be my duck, and I could hold her, and love her, and take care of her because she is my little baby.
Halle: But Hayden! When I was a little baby, you dropped me!
(and I completely busted up because it's true!)
Me: Do you like our family?
Halle: Yes.
Me: Do you like our house?
Halle: Yes. We need to clean it.
Me: Do you like your life?
Halle: Yes.
Me: What's a life?
Halle: I don't know. (thinking...) Oh! You're a wife! And Daddy's a husband, and Hayden and Owen are sunbeams!
( I really loved that whole conversation)
Halle: Someone said no to me today at nursery.
Me: Oh, was it your teacher or another kid?
Halle: 'Nother kid. I was sad. And he didn't even give me a hug or a kiss!
Hayden: Oh! It's raining today!
They opened the blinds and looked outside.
Halle: Oh, we are so bored today!
Thank you, Cat in the Hat. :)
Me: Today is Halloween. What do we do on Halloween?
Halle: Um, we watch out for dinosaurs!
Halle: Mommy, when you get done, I will give you a big hug! And a kiss!
Me: Oh good! I can't wait!
Halle: But you HAVE to wait Mommy!
What Hayden Said
2-2012
We've been teaching the kids about electricity and how it's important not to stick fingers or things into the outlets. I had to laugh a little when poor Hayden came to me with a sad face and said, "Mommy, I touched the outlights. Am I going to die?" It was actually the cable outlet that he had been touching. :)
2-2012
After telling Hayden multiple times to get his shoes so we could leave, we threatened to leave him behind if he didn't get ready.
Hayden: NO! You can't leave me! If you leave me home, I will go get into all your stuff!
10-17-11
Hayden was trying to open a can of root beer.
Hayden: I can't do it! It's locked!
8-14-11
Derrick: Tell mommy about the lights you saw in Gunnison. (he's talking about the prison)
Hayden: Oh, what's his name? ... Oh! It's prison! When the people make bad choices they have to go there. And they lock them up in a box! And they have to stay there all day!
August 2011
Hayden: I'm so glad baby Owen is here now.
Me: Me too! We waited a long time for him to get here.
Hayden: Yes. You did a really good job getting him out mom. That was hard work. Let me give you a high five!
