Levi was an early talker, with many words before he was a year old, 3-4 word sentences by 18-20 months, and full-blown conversations on his "cell phone" and with "Scout" at 24-28 months.
We've already shared his anecdote, "Lord-A-Mercy" in an earlier blog post. Well, a new one is "Good-Gosh-A-Mighty Mamma." I'm sorry, what? Yea...like, good gosh a mighty Mamma, I'm hungry. Don't ask me where he picked that one up, but at least his pick-ups have been clean...so far.
Well, except for the "s" word. Noooo, that that "s" word. But, the s-h-u-t-u-p one. I thought maybe I'd misunderstood when my darling little angel child said, "Shutup Mamma." Excuse me, what was that? "SHUTUP MAMMA." (followed by a silly little giggle) Ok, A. We don't use that word in our house (shush or be quiet are our words). B. EXCUSE ME?!? Did you REALLY just tell your own mother, the one who carried you in her belly for 39 weeks, and was in labor for 4 days, and was cut from hip to hip just to get you here, to shut up? Surely you didn't. So, yea. We had a nice little discussion about how that word is an ugly word and we don't use it in our family. He tried to pull it once more, this time, aimed at his Thomas the Train bathroom toys while playing in the pool. That was nearly a week ago. We haven't heard it since. Fingers are crossed that we don't hear it again.
And, the cutest new thing? Each night when I'm putting Levi to bed, we have a routine. Bathtime. YumYums & Chewies (medicine). Nose spray (allergies). Fish mask (breathing treatment). Love Daddy night-night. Crawl into bed. Mamma reads a 'tory'. We say bed-time prayers. We give kisses and noses. I rub his back for just a minute. I leave the room. Well, last night, I guess I was dragging a bit and didn't get to the back rub in time, so I get this: "Mamma, you pet me!" Pet. Well, I guess we've referred to he and Bailey as brothers for so long, Levi's starting to think that he's a dog. Who needs to be pet. Do we win the Parents of the Year award for that one?
Oh, and one more thing...
To my Daddy, Granddaddy, Father-in-law, Stepdad, and Husband, I wish you all a very Happy Father's Day! Here's a picture of me with my Daddy and my Husband. I love you guys so much!
