funny/favorite/current things...

*these boys are saying a lot of funny things... mainly sammy right now. here goes...

*jude... "some-ping" (something). "ca-prize" (surprise).

*sammy... "no worry, i fix it" (don't worry, i'll fix it). "bip bop" (flip flop). "dookies" (cookies). "my belly so hun-gy". when i correct sammy he usually says, "well" & then has some reason for whatever he's doing & there have been times when he doesn't have a reason after the "well". sammy just told me today, "my best mommy ever". :) :) :)

*amos... "moo me" (excuse me). when amos doesn't know what else to talk about he asks me where some of his favorite people are... multiple times a day he'll ask, "aunt shan go?" (aunt shannon lives with us & she's usually in her room, but he asks me over & over everyday). ;)
