Where do they come up with this?

A couple of cute things have come out of Janika's mouth the last week or so, and I just had to share them with everyone!

After thunder and lightening the other night we woke up with no power. So I'm feeding Keldon and Janika comes in and gets in bed with me saying she wants to go downstairs and watch TV. Without even thinking I say 'Okay, I'll be down in a minute.' Next thing we hear is a little voice calling up the stairs "Mommy, the TV needs new batteries!!!"

When being naughty, I'll ask her if I need to smack her bottom. She says no, but graciously offers her hand and tells me I can smack that instead.

The morning after Keldon's first birthday party I go in to get Janika out of bed and ask her if she knows what today is. Of course she doesn't... When I tell her that it's Keldon's birthday today she responds with a very exasperated sounding 'Again???'

Okay, I'll admit it - I'm addicted to the Olympics. But I get a good laugh when watching beach vollyball. There are two players on each side, with the numbers 1 and 2. Janika refers to them as 'thing 1' and 'thing 2'.

And on the 'ohhh how sweet' side of things, I've had strep throat this past week and Janika would come up to me randomly and say "I'm sorry you no feel good mommy" awwwwww :o)

Happy Birthday Keldon!!!

So our baby boy turned one today!!! We celebrated yesterday with a party, and I'd like to think that he had a fun time. We decided on a 'bug' theme, and had a couple of really cute cakes decorated at a local bakery. They turned out really cute! And I made up a bunch of 'antenna' for guests of all ages to wear to help them get in the spirit. What I found to be the most interesting thing, was his absolute refusal of his birthday cake! We couldn't force a bite between his lips no matter how hard we tried - once he got that initial taste, he was DONE with it except to mush all the frosting between his fingers.

However towards the end of the day he was starting to feel kinda warm and not looking so well, so when I got him home I took his temperature - 104.4! Yikes! Poor little guy! So he has been pretty much sleeping all day today and just waking up every few hours to eat, fuss, and maybe play a little bit.

Janika's getting married!!??!!

So Janika tells me today that she needs to get dressed up in her princess dress because she is getting married. Curious. So I start asking questions and get the whole story. Apparently she is getting married to a Care Bear. He wants to marry her so that he can kiss her and become a King. I should note that the particular princess dress she was wearing is the one that she wears when she becomes Princess Fiona.

Happy Birthday Janika!!!

Well, Janika turned three yesterday, and we had a small party at our house to celebrate. She got to invite a few of her friends over for snacks, playing and cake. I had given her the choice of a few different 'themes' and she chose Curious George :o)

Then today we got a card in the mail from some good friends which we opened together and I read it to her. Afterwords she looked at me with a questioning look and asked "Is it my birthday again?" Too Cute!
