Sweet, Sweet, Sweet!

For the first sweet: This morning I got the babies out of their cribs, knelt down, and said, "Prayer." Abby immediately knelt down and said, "Prayer!"  It was really cute!  It lasted about five seconds, but it was still really cute -- might have lasted longer if her brother wasn't so busy taking all the toys out of the box as fast as he could! ;-D  Some of her other new words are bak (bounce), kick, and aIsIc (Isaac).  She's also saying Ma ma ma A LOT, which balances out Isaac's da da da.  And they are really fun, CUTE fans of Moooooo (Abby's sounds like Mo drug out and Isaac's sounds like Mmmmmmm with a little inflection there in his tone).

For the second sweet thing, I came in from my afternoon run and Isaac, playing with the magnet toys in the dining room, sucked in all the oxygen in three rooms with his squeal of delight!  Then he ran over to the door, reached up, put his other hand to his ear, and started dancing.  Any guesses what he wanted?  My headphones!  I started something -- and he LOVES to listen to my music and dance!  It's great!

For the third sweet thing, after I got home from my afternoon run, the babies and I walked Daddy to school.  There is a path on the way to the school that used to be paved but has since been "rocked over" and the trail has been diverted in a different direction.  But the rocky trail IS the fastest way to get to the school.  SO as we were riding across it, we hear the babies start to go "aaaaaaah, aaaaaah, aaaaaah" -- you know, that sound you used to make when you were kids and would ride over the railroad tracks?  Yep - they already figured it out!  On the way home, they almost instantly started chiming in again as soon as we hit the first bump.  It was really cute!

Fourth sweet -- on our way to school, Dave was telling me that Abby is little miss ANIMATION!  He was playing with her when she woke up from her nap.  There's this rhyme/actions thing that his dad used to do with him and now he (and I) do it with the babies.  You say, "Little horsey walk, walk, walk; little horsey trot, trot, trot; little horsey galloping, galloping, galloping; little horsey BUCK!"  Then you move your leg like you're walking, trotting, galloping, and buck them off (catching them, of course) at then end.  He said as he progressed to each stage, she just got more and more excited until she was almost falling off his lap with anticipation and laughter!  Then she couldn't wait to start again -- she actually started bouncing herself over and over and over and OVER and over . . . laughing each time as if it was the first!  Isaac loves this game, too, but he usually just gets this very pleased, sweet smile on his face and waits until you finish to laugh and then start bouncing up and down for you to do it again.  It's fun!

For the last sweet thing -- my tooth!  I have the biggest sweet tooth right now!  EXCEPT -- the only sweet things in my house are raisins, apples, diet A&W Root Beer, and chewable Vitamin C tablets.  YIKES!  I guess my fool-proof system at not tempting myself is full-proof.  So . . . . Vitamin C, anyone? :-)
