This and That: The Things You Forget to Remember

This crazy thought ACTUALLY crossed my mind, "What if something tragic happens tonight and my don't know how simply crazy I am about how cute they are." Okay, here's the dramatic side of me coming out, I know. But, seriously, I've been "writing" blogs out in my mind every day. This one inparticular  I've written, re-written and added to probably a dozen times already. (I've actually thought about how nice it would be to be able just to think my blogs and somehow have them written through my thoughts....too much Meet the Robinson's, perhaps?) Anyway, here is a list of cute little things that I'm sure to forget someday. I wake up every morning to children who are getting older, doing new and bigger kid things. Inevitably, they will become adults.

-The sweet little things Ava says: "Hold you me", "Noisy home" (nursing home), "Booshie" (smoothie), "Roashie" (roast beef), "bank-bank" (her blankie, ok that WILL always be bank-bank)
-Liam's noises: the soft,loud, hungry, irritated, sleepy cries, whimper, grunting, "you're gonna pick me up" noise, "food, what a relief" noise
-Thao's incredible ideas for inventions, recipes. His utter amazement with the weather. And the questions, oh the questions. "I really wonder why God made the really bad tornadoes. I know why he made the little storms. But I really wonder why he made the bad ones."

I love my kids. I am beginning to think every age is my favorite....
