Today we went to the Living Traditions festival. Ryan and I let Micah push his stroller. As he was pushing through the crowds, Ryan told Micah to watch out for people. Then Micah started yelling "Watch out people."
2/19/10
Micah was pressing a lot of buttons on the TV at his Nana and Papa's house. I look at him and say"Micah, please don't push anymore buttons" "Why?!" He was clearly not expecting an explanation.
2/2/10
Oh my heck, this boy is surprising me every day. This morning while we were getting ready, Micah counted in this sequence 1,2,3,9,10. What a bright little boy I have!
2/1/10
I was exercising and Micah was playing in the same room. I was working on curls and I counted each one out loud, when I got to 9 Micah called out "ten!" Besides 1, 2, go, I didn't even think Micah could count.
1/2/10
Micah has foam letters he plays with in the bath tub. During his bath he actually spelled the word "jet" but not knowing this he pointed to the left side of the word and went across exclaiming "Micah."
1/1/10
Micah and I had just waken up from a nap and we sat down on the couch and began flipping through t.v. channels for him. I stopped on a foot ball game for him. After a few minutes of sitting and watching very intently, Micah leans forward and yells at the t.v., "Come on!"
10/25/09
After family prayer tonight Micah reminded me of all the people we left out of our prayer. "Co-ee (Cody), Howie (Haley), Ka-dee (Katie), Ee (Eric), Mama (Grandma), his fish sound for Grandpa, Nan (Nana/other g-ma), Papa (Pop, pop/other grandpa) Gah-bee, happy (I guess he needs more hapiness in his life).
10/16/09

Micah was putting a puzzle together in sacrament meeting. Every time he got a puzzle piece in, he folded his arms and said "amen."

Micah keeps jumping on my back and making monkey sounds. I love the way he clings to me, now I have an idea of how a mother monkey feels.
9/14/09
Micah and I were playing with building blocks today. I was working on an awesome tower. Then Micah comes along and pushes over my structural masterpiece and yells "OOPS!"
Micah was trying to tell me something using sign language. He knows a few ASL sings that he uses pretty often, but this was different today. Micah making signs and gestures I've never even seen before, he was practically making up his own dialect of sign language! It was very hard to keep a straight face. I finally had to ask him to show me what he wanted. A ride in the toy box of course!
9/9/09
Micah loves to get the courtesy balloons from Maceys. I decided to hold on to the balloon for safe keeping, as we were unloading the car the balloon snagged on the door and became free. Micah was horrified! he kept calling "BA, BA, BA." I felt so horrible.
9/?/09
Micah was purposely dumping out milk from his sippy-cup. I looked at him and said "uh oh Micah." He quickly stopped then walked over to the dish rag drawer and grabbed a cloth, went back over to the mess, bent over and mopped it up!
Micah made me laugh when...
7/5/12
Sam was calling for Mommy and Daddy after we put him down for bed.
M- No Sam, if you call for mommy, daddy comes up, if you call for Daddy, mommy comes up.
Sam called out "I need go poo poo." Ryan and I both ran up. :)
5/22/12
Micah started to talk to a mother and daughter (Micah's age) who we met as we were all walking to the park.
Micah- Hi I'm Micah M-I-C-A-H
Tracy (mother)- Hi Micah, did you learn to spell your name at school?
M- Yeah!
T- Where do you go to school?
M- I don't know, law school or something?
5/21/12
You know you listen to too many audio books and not enough music in the car when you have the following conversation.
Me: Micah, I forgot to grab books from your bedroom. Will you please run downstairs and grab the books you want to read for quiet time?
Micah: Mommy the upstairs books are a "great supplement for parent child reading time!"
4/17/12
Me: Micah you are in time out for throwing dirt on Sam.
Micah: You're wasting your time Mom!
3/22/12
Tonight we we're sitting on the front porch. Micah and Sam we're playing with their fire truck that uncle Jordan gave them. The boys were very delighted to see a large fire truck drive by. The truck stopped and flashed it's lights and honked the horn, and the fire fighters waved to the boys. It was a great show, micah's only complaint was that "the truck didn't say meow, meow"
3/11/12
I was trying to get Micah to put his pants back on after he finished using the bathroom. I reminded him repeatedly, and finally I told him he would have to go to his room if he didn't listen. He was so angry with me he shouted "You make me the laughing stock of the neighborhood!" (He got this line from an Aurthur book) All I could do was turn around so he couldn't see me laugh.
1/10/12
M- Sam can I have that book please, because your reading it upside down
S- (with the book upside down) No
12/3/11
I was trying to get Micah to stay at the table and eat dinner, but he was pretending to be a puppy. He kept directing me and Ryan on what to say. Teasingly I said, "I didn't know puppies were so bossy. Micah breaking charachter replies, That's for sure!"
10/14/11
I was holding Sam in the baby carrier, he was sleeping. Micah asks, "is that how the babies sleep in Guatemala?"
9/29/11
After an afternoon of shopping, I sent Micah to time out when we got home for not staying with me. After time out we had a talk about it. After saying everything I had to say Micah replied, "if you don't know where I am, just look by the buttons, that's where you'll find me."
9/20/11
When Micah is being disobedient I give him a warning and then count to 3 if he continues break rules. Today he was playing with the dishwasher rack full of dishes. I asked him to stay out of there and we closed the dishwasher. He went right back to playing in there so I started counting. Then Micah stand up angry at me and says "No more Mommies counting at kids!"
3/4/11
The boys were in bed and over the monitor we heard Sam start crying, then we heard Micah start singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star to Sam. So sweet.

Micah- Danger, keep out of Kids. Oh Well!
11/12/10
Micah has been using lines from books that we read. Today he said "I made a big mess, Daddy is not happy to see me." This is interpretation of a few lines from The Cat in the Hat.
Micah loves to strike up conversations in the elevator. His usual approach to make small talk is "look at the cute baby" as he points to Sam

9/14/09
Micah and I were playing with building blocks today. I was working on an awesome tower. Then Micah comes along and pushes over my structural masterpiece and yells "OOPS!"
Micah was trying to tell me something using sign language. He knows a few ASL sings that he uses pretty often, but this was different today. Micah making signs and gestures I've never even seen before, he was practically making up his own dialect of sign language! It was very hard to keep a straight face.

Sam made me laugh when...
4/17/12
Sam is such a good talker it is amazing. He does run into barriers at times. He is such a champ, he has started to use body language to communicate when I can't understand him. Today he was trying to tell me that his straw wasn't working. When he could see that I wasn't getting it, he started acting like he was sucking from a straw and then he handed me his cup. Such a little thing, but I love it!
4/9/12
Sam really likes to throw his food off the table. On this particular occasion, I was a little more stern that he is use to. The mischievous smile on his face turned to a frown and he got huge puppy dog eyes. I was so worried that I made him sad, I really didn't want to see him cry. I quickly assured him that I wasn't mad at him but that his mess was not okay. I gave him a hug and a kiss. He just sat there with that sad look. I waled away for a moment and as I was coming back I noticed that he looked much happier. When he noticed me however, he went back to that sad look. I asked him if he was sad, he was trying very hard to look sad but not hard enough because he was pulling a half smile/half frown. When I saw this I realized he was just yanking my chain.
3/27/12
Sam has started saying potty and running into the bathroom. So I remove his diaper and sit him on the potty. He likes to just sit their and explore his body (too much info?) When I can see he is not actually using the potty I try to tell him the potty is for going pee pee and poo poo. He grunts a little and hops down with a satisfied look. But every time I try to get his diaper back on he runs back to the bathroom and tells me he needs to use the potty. He really hates to wear diapers!!!
3/26/12
I was changing Sam's diaper and trying to get him to say the word diaper.
Me: Sam say diaper
Sam: Bess you (bless you)
Me: Diaper
Sam: Bess you
Me: Diaper, diaper diaper
Sam: Bess you
3/6/12
Sam kept crying for me at bed time. I went in to comfort him and I held him for a few minutes until he seemed relaxed. I went to lay him back down and he started pouting. I told him to try closing his eyes and singing a song. A sang twinkle twinkle... to him and then left. I stood outside the door for a moment and heard Sam singing, "up, up, up, up, high" (that's how he sings "twinkle twinkle")
