Kid-isms

There are so many things the boys are doing or saying right now that I want to remember...and since this is my place to remember things, here we go...

While driving, Drew asks "Allen, are you asleep?" and with his eyes closed, Allen will nod his head vigorously. (This has happened multiple times and it cracks me up!)

When singing "The Ants Go Marching" Drew inserts his own words. He names trains at the appropriate time in the song to coordinate with their engine number. Here is verse #1: "The ants go marching one by one for Thomas, hurrah. The ants go marching one by one for Thomas, hurrah. The ants go marching one by one, Thomas stops to suck his thumb, and they all go marching down...to the ground...to get out...of the rain...boom boom boom" And it goes on, for all 10 verses, with a different train for each verse. The kicker is that I didn't even know he knew who had the numbers 8, 9 and 10! But he says Duncan, Donald and Douglas...I'll take his word for it!

When Allen wakes up in the morning or from a nap, he no longer cries or even sits there talking nicely. Now he starts with "Ma ma ma Mama Mama" and progresses to "MAMA MAMA MAMA!" Yelling - at the top of his little lungs!
