Kids Say The Darndest Things

IMG_1215If you've heard me ramble on about my kids or have met them, you know they have very unique personalities. Well, the first two do. My little itsy, bitsy Lucas is too little to know his personality well yet. Liam and Levi on the other hand are always keeping me busy. IMG_0862Liam is my sensitive little social bug. He loves talking to people and being in big groups of people all the time. He's also the most sensitive little guy. My husband and I aren't so we've had to pray for understanding. Especially, when were faced with water works because Levi looked at him wrong. All we want to say is suck it up, but instead we ask why it hurt his feelings. Other times, his sensitive little heart overwhelms us. He is always the first one to take care of one of us if sick, rub our backs if he thinks we're sad, or tell us how beautiful or handsome we are. Levi is our crazy, rebellious child. It's always interesting to hear what the teacher says on Sunday mornings because we always faced with a new story. It's typically Levi hit someone so I put him in time out and he smiled the entire time. This kid LOVES time out. He loves it because he sees his older brother go in it and feels incredible pride when he gets to. He's always looking for something to get into or destroy, but then he will greet you with cuddles and an arm around your shoulder afterwards. He melts my heart and drives me nuts at the same time. IMG_1261Put them together and you get something pretty amazing. Here are a few of their conversations from the week. 

“Mama is that your soppy (coffee)?” -Levi
“Yes.”-Me
“No it’s my soppy. My friend said yes.”-Levi
 
Levi starts crying in the living room. 
“Levi, wait! Stay here. What happened?”-Liam
“You boom boom me!”-Levi
“Oh, I’m sorry. Levi if you sit here and tell me what happened you won’t be in trouble. I won’t tell mom.”-Liam
“Ok."- Levi
 
"Mom, I need candy cereal for dinner. If I don't my tummy will hurt."- Liam
 
"Mama, I sit with you. Liam needs pankin because he boom boom me." -Levi
"NO, I DIDN'T! HE PINCHED ME!" -Liam
"Levi, did you pinch your brother?" -Me
"Umm. Probably, no." -Levi
 
I love that my kids are getting old enough to talk with each other. Sometimes, it's not very nice and its Liam manipulating Levi or Levi lying to Liam. That's ok. They're learning. This is my favorite little conversation from this week. 
 
"Levi, I love you." -Liam
"I ya you most." -Levi
