{Luke wakes up crying}
Taylor: It's okay honey.
Luke: Stop it Teeya.

{Ali barked at a noise}
Taylor: It's okay Buddy.

{Taylor grabs Luke's hand}
Taylor: You're hand goes HERE!

{Walk in their room in the morning}
Luke: Hey you, Stinker! (to me)

Taylor: Daddy is CRAZY!

{Taylor comes running up to me with red crayon out both sides of her mouth and onto her cheeks}
Taylor: Look Mommy, I color my lips like Mommy!

Snippets from today

{Taylor was pushing the fake food off of the table}
{Luke grabs her arm and looks her right in her eyes at close range}
Luke: Tee-ya NO! You're being a little stinker.

{potty time}
(last two days BOTH have been pooping on the potty before nap) yay.
{Taylor pooped...flush....celebratory dancing/jumping/yelling}

Luke: Luke big poopie tooo!!!!

{running around naked, then sitting over and over, he poops but stands up too early while he's still going because he's so excited to see it.....it drops on onto the floor and he steps in it all while Taylor steps on the heat vent right beside him and cuts her foot. It was bleeding...both were screaming. Luke because 1.)he was tramatized that the poop was on the floor and not in the potty and 2.)because he stepped on the residue after I picked it up. (SO THANKFUL the potties got moved to the bathroom) Taylor was upset because of her boo boo. So I put a tissue on it, diaper Luke, clean up the poop, go grab peroxide and a band aid. Come downstairs and Taylor hobbles out of the bathroom and turns around and runs right into the table. Nice little knot beside her eye. More screaming, got her calmed down and cleaned her cut and went to put a band aid on. Taylor flipped out when she saw the band aid. Apparently that is associated with shots and I put it on thinking she'd get over it......NOPE....screamed like a maniac until I took it off. }

Taylor: NO BAN AID!!!!!!
Luke: {pointing to the bottom of his foot} Mommy, band aid foot, boo boo, kiss it.
Taylor: Luke NO! my's boo boo, my's foot! Mommy kiss MY foot!
Luke: Huke has boo boo TOO! See Tee-yah?
Taylor: Luke NO! my's boo boo, my's foot! Mommy kiss MY foot!

{convo on the zoo}
What did you see at the zoo?
Luke: Tractors, big camels, big tigers, cows.
Taylor: I don't like the goose! {squinting and throwing hands up} Luke doesn't like the goose either! I liked the donkeys, the donkeys were nice...they went eeee haw eeee haw. The donkeys were funny. {giggle giggle}

{THUMP, crying}
Taylor was able to climb out of her pack and play. She didn't try it again.

{Luke over and over while we were there}
Luke: I'm going to the BEACH!

{when we got back}
Luke: I'm going to the BEACH! {trying to walk out the door}

Taylor pooped IN the potty BEFORE nap. After the last few days......that's exciting news to me. :)
Major celebrating round here. Luke's been doing really well today, actually going to his potty and standing there when he has to pee...still going in his diaper too but it's a step in the right direction.

Taylor: Mommy! Luke fart...Luke, say excuse me!


later at lunch...{fly was flying around and I was shooing it}

Taylor: Mommy, don't hurt the fly, be nice.
{fly lands on her bunny, who was "watching" us eat from the table}
Taylor: NO FLY! (pronounced FWY) Leave Bunny Alone! Be Nice Fly!


{We got a new couch and chair today}
Luke: {the whole time during their delivery} Mommy, it's a new couch. Mommy, it's a new chair.
Taylor: WOW! Couch NICE. WOW!

Luke just said....."Okay Honey?" to Taylor. lol

Been A LOT of jealousy over my lap today. "MYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY LAP" yikes.

So I've been putting Taylor in onsies for nap to prevent the playing with poop...so I get the feeling I should check up on her and she's completely naked with no diaper. Adding some tight undies over everything hoping she can't pull them off. trial and error. Still avoiding duct tape. lol

Poop or Play Dough?

Repeat of yesterday only I caught her with just 2 handfuls. sigh.

I waited an extra hour for her to go...but no...then I hear Luke saying POOPY, POOPY! I go in right away and she's got two handfuls...luckily only the sheets, clothes, crib, bunny and pillow....not everything....still Clorox the crib, laundry, bath and a screaming mad Luke because he didn't get a bath. Didn't want floating poop on him yet.

I seriously think she enjoys doing this for Luke's viewing pleasure. She has ALWAYS loved making him laugh and getting a reaction from him.

Does this guarantee that she'll be an angel as a teenager? ;)

{while eating lunch, Luke was done, Taylor was not}
Luke: Sisssssssssaaaaaaaayyyy, What are you doing?
Taylor: I'm chewing, see? {opening her mouth}
Luke: Ewwww, Sisssssssssaaaaaaaaaay.
{giggle, giggle}

They enjoy tickling each other while singing, saying, "tickle, tickle"

Taylor devours hot dogs and loves raisins which she calls flies, pronounced by her "FWI's.
Luke loves meatloaf, spaghetti and sunflower seeds.

Jumping on their beds and singing all the songs they know, including Ring Around the Rosie and enjoy the ALL FALL DOWN part and they FALL DOWN.

They are also singing TRACTOR, TRACTOR a lot again and they know a lot of the verses.
