Write it down...

...and I would like to add, "NOW!"

Thanks to a post on my friend Katie's blog, I need to blog about a few things that I haven't written in my journal of things I don't ever want to forget that my kids say or do.

~We were stopped at a rest stop at about 2am and Morgan was sleeping. She starts to giggle and point up ahead and she says, "Mom, that sea horse is trying to tickle me!" What a dream she was having!

~Talmage has come out of his shell since being potty trained. He will talk to more people now and he loves to just talk. He is working harder at "using his words" instead of getting mad and crying and throwing little fits out of frustration.

~Landon's first "word" was "Choo-choo!"

~Talmage's first word was "Tessa"

~Morgan's first word was "Thank You!"

~Talmage says, "feegot" for forgot

~Talmage and Morgan are playing really well together lately. They do a lot of imagining. Tal seems to have a bigger imagination at this age, compared to Morgan when she was 3, but he has her to thank for that.

~We were at McDonalds in Sisters, OR and Jason feels the need to fart. And it was loud. Our little family with 3 young kids are sitting there with us and he thinks he is going to blame it on one of them, but before he had the chance, Talmage says, "That was your toot." Jason and I were busting a gut! My mascara was running down my face. It took a long time to recover from that one!

~Most of the things I want to remember right now are not possible for me to write down, so I have a lot of pics that look the same. It's just me trying to get that perfect photo and they are all actually different. And right now what I keep trying to capture is Landon. His expressions and his mannerisms. Maybe if I was a better writer, I'd be able to put into words how darling he is, and explain what he does with his face, but I am not. I am a bottom of the barrel amateur photographer and I'd rather capture these things with my camera. Although, the pics still don't show the image that is in my head. Hopefully they will remind me of the images my eyes have seen. The eyes are a much better tool than the camera.
