What kind of noise?

Last week I was carrying Brian out of his room after nap and just as we got to the doorway he said, "What's that?"
I asked "What's what?"
He said something, but I wasn't sure I was hearing it right so I repeated it back to him, "Poopy noise?"
"Yep, poopy noi."
I thought for a minute and realized I was stepping on a creaky part of the wood floor, so I made the noise again and Brian confirmed that as the "poopy noise."
Such a boy!

Cousin Pictures

After Aunt Sarah and Joshua left, I came into the house to find another "baby" in the bouncy seat. He insisted that he couldn't help clean up, because "I baby!" I told him that babies couldn't have hot chocolate either. He got up very quickly.

Brian LOVES to hold his new cousin! He sits very calmly with him and just wraps his arms right around him. He even helped Aunt Sarah change his diaper! I'll have an eager little helper when Lydia arrives.

It was getting late in this pic. Joshua was fussy and Brian wouldn't take his fingers out of his mouth. Willim did fine for us, but he's my night owl!

The funny things they say!

Tonight we read about the Israelites moving camp after being at Mt. Sinai for one year. We talked about how they traveled for three days before they stopped. I mentioned to William that it would take a day for use to walk to Carlisle if we had to take a lot of stuff with us. He asked me why the Israelites didn't have any roads. "Because they didn't have cars to drive on the roads."
William asked, "When are we going to read the Bible story about when they made cars?"
Brian and William have fun yelling, "boo!" and tell me they are scaring monsters away. This has been a fun game for them for weeks, but I think Brian's imagination is getting the better of him. He won't go into a darkened room until he scares the monsters out and asks for the light on. Tonight he came to get me and told me there was a monster in his room. I said, "There's a monster in your room?!" thinking he was playing. He about jumped on my lap and held me tight, terrified that there really was a monster there!!! I keep telling him, "There are no monsters anywhere! God didn't make any! Mommy, Daddy, and God will keep you safe." I'll have to tell William not to play monsters anymore.
