**When it was the 100th day of school Seth came home with a picture he had drawn. They were supposed to write and then draw 100 something they would like and something they would not like. Seth wrote down Leah with 100 little pictures for the like (awww) and Satan with 100 little pictures for the thing he would not like! I'm with Seth, one Satan is enough.
**Seth imitates the way I talk to my kids...giving them choices, etc. Some nights Ian just cannot/will not settle down at bedtime in their shared room. The other night I was standing outside the door and heard Seth give Ian these choices, "Ian are you going to go to bed, or am I going to punch you in the face?" He then repeated "What do you choose? Bed or face?" I was silently cracking up because the last thing in the world Seth would ever do is go punch his brother unprovoked, so it was funny. I guess Ian chose bed that night.
**Ian is in Sunbeams now (that could be a whole other post) but for weeks he called his teacher whose real name is Sister Nieman by the oh so close yet problematic Sister Demon! On the way out of class the other day he also said to her "bye chubby head" and then ran off leaving me facing her. Yikes. I kind of wanted a hole in the floor to open up. I hope she didn't take it too personally. Chubby is a word Ian uses very liberally right now. It can apply to anyone and "Miss Chubby" or "Chubby Cheeks" are his pet names for Leah right now.
**My birthday is coming up and Ian and I somehow got in a discussion about what I might get. He shrugged it off and said I would just get some "old work stuff." When I asked him what that might be he said, "maybe like a new laundry basket." Seriously?! Laundry is like the bane of my existence.
**And last but not least when I picked Ian up from preschool yesterday his teacher told me he gave a "like 10 minute presentation" during show and tell to the kids about Nephi and Lehi (the ones who were the sons of Helamen) and the Nephi who went back for the plates. He took a head lamp to show so I really have no idea how he got off on a scriptural discussion, but she said he was quite the storyteller!
Post-edit: This just in and since I'm right by the computer I'll add it to the list.
Ian: Why do you have that funny smell?
Me: What funny smell?
Ian: That funny smell you have when I kissed you?
Me: What does it smell like?
Ian: Dog poop.
