William David Houston

I found my self a couple of days ago calling Will "William David Houston" over and over again. Claire calls this his trouble name, and she is right. He was in trouble a lot last Thursday. It started when I left the fridge door open while I poured a glass of milk, and while I had my back turned William David Houston got in the fridge and grabbed some leftover pasta dinner from a shelf and spilled it all over himself, the fridge shelf and fridge door, and Lilly (Lilly was thrilled to be in the way and tried to help with clean-up). This wasn't to big of a deal (kids spill stuff right). After cleaning everything up we headed to the outlet malls to return a shirt. While I was at the cash register returning the shirt, William David Houston slipped out of my arms and sprinted to the nearest dressing room (sprinting is a new skill he just mastered, and man is he fast). I tried to catch him before he ran in, but I was just a second too late as he shut the door and then locked it. I really think he knew what he was doing. I couldn't get him out of the dressing room. I had to get a sales lady to unlock the door so I could haul him out. So the day went on and toward the end I was doing dinner dishes and the kids were playing. At least Claire was playing, but William David Houston decided he wanted to color our new flat screen computer monitor with a ball point pen. It looked so horrible. Luckily, Shawn wasn't there to see it. I almost cried when I saw it. The entire screen had ink on it. I can't believe I was able to get it off, but luckily for everyone (especially William David Houston)I did! What a day. I need to keep both eyes on my cute little William David Houston all of the time.

I had no idea he could be such a troublemaker! But then again, he is two!

Out Of The Mouth of My Kids

On Easter this year Will had his easter basket full of the little plastic eggs when he accidentally tripped and dropped his basket. When he dropped his basket the plastic egss broke open to reveal the candy inside. Will, in the most excited voice I've ever heard him use said "The eggs open!!!!!!" He couldn't believe there was candy inside- it was the coolest thing to him!
(Easter 2009)

I asked Will one day where the new baby was going to sleep. He said: " in a cage". I guess we now know what he thought of his crib.
(Winter 2009)

I was playing with Will one day. He was pretending to be a robot, so I decided to be a robot too, but he said:
"no you can't be a robot you are a princess"
I said:
"what do princesses do?"
He said:
"they just dance"
(Winter 2009)

We drove by a horse pasture the other day and Claire said:
"I really want a horse. If you don't get me a horse mom I will fire you... ... I mean I will fire Daddy!"
(Winter 2009)

We were talking about where we should go out for dinner one night and Shawn mentioned a new Terriakyi Sushi place. Claire got very excited and said, "Yes! Sushi! Shushi! Please! Please! Please! I love Sushi!" We soon found out she meant a Slushee (like a fruit drink) not Sushi. She does not like Sushi.

Claire: "Mom, I can't make my bed. Will is making me have too much fun." (July 2008)

Will's newest fixation is robots. Yes, we saw WALLE, and that's about when it started. Will can't quite say ROBOT though, so he says "Beebot" instead. It took us awhile to figure out what he meant, but now it's very cute - beebot! (Summer 2008)

William at age 2 still doesn't say too much, but some times he gets on a kick and repeats things over and over, and recently he has found bird poo very interesting. I don't know why, but when we go on walks lately he stops at every white spot on the side walk and says "bird poo- ewwww yuck" this happens over and over and over and over on our walks. I never realized there was so much bird poo in the world! (Summer 2008)

I recently walked in on Claire singing a song she made up to her brother. This is a rare occurance, so I thought I'd better write it here to remember that even though they fight they still love each other. Here is the gist of the song imagine in a very high drawn out soprano:
"I love youuuuuuuuu. You are my frieeeeend because you love to play with meeeeeee and you love to go outside with meeee. I love YOUUUUUU!"
She repeated this over and over and Will just sat there listening seeming to know the song was just for him. I will have to show her this when she is mad at her brother for playing with her "stuff". (Summer 2008)

Claire: "Mom, when I stretch my nose up my nostrils look like bunny ears." (Spring 2008)

Claire had a cough one morning. When she woke up she said:
"My voice is crooked" (Winter 2008)

Claire toes aren't just toes. They are "Weeny Toes" because they are so small compared to everything else. (Winter 2008)

Claire: "Mom, don't step on the cracks or you will get boy slime." (Spring 2008)

Claire (in disgust after we had a carpenter ant problem): "Why did Heavenly Father have to make ants on the Earth?" (Summer 2008)

Claire: "I want to be a cowgirl and a mama when I grow up, and I will have 6 babies and they will all be girls." (2008)

Claire (smiling): "Mom, I can't stand it, I'm so NERVOUS for Christmas" I asked why she was "nervous" and she explains how she can't wait to see what Santa brings for her. I finally figured out that she meant excited not nervous and couldn't wait for Chritmas . (Winter 2007)
