Dempsey Sings

Dempsey's singing in the living room. It goes something like "Happy birthday, Jesus!... Happy Birthday, Jesus!" and then the next tune in "Rock a bye baby... when the.... breaks... and the baby and the tree top and the baby...!!!"

I'm chuckling to myself at the computer.

Sawyer is having to learn that Dempsey has a right to sing and talk and make noise too. Just told big brother that if he has a problem with it he can remove himself from the living room.

On the Grass

Quote of the day: Dempsey Edition

A half naked Dempsey, in the kitchen, announces to Jake and myself "I need to pee on grass!" Then proceeds to go out the laundry room door and handle business.

A Generous Gentleman

As dinner was wrapping up, this little dude went person to person asking "you wan some more [chips]?" I said "no thank you, I'm all done." He then went over to Sawyer and asked "you wan some more, Sawyer?" Sawyer said "yes, please." Dempsey grabbed two chips and put them on Sawyer's plate. He went on to encourage Sawyer to "dip in walkamolee (guacamole)".

Precious glimpse and reminder that he CAN be a gentleman.

Gone Missing

Things that have gone missing around here:

1/2 measuring cup
At least 3 spoons
About 2 forks
Unknown number of Take n Toss cup/ lid sets
3-4 plastic children's bowls

This is a likely occurence when you trust your toddler to put his place settings/ dishes in the "sink" and he mistakes that for the trash.

We caught on and are more diligent to check the trash or listen for his deposits into the sink.

Gus Gus

This is his "watching Gus Gus" face. With all the immitations of Gus Gus happening recently I knew it wouldn't be long until he asked to watch Cinderella.

"Bof of you"

In the car, on their phones, waiting for Daddy to get done with his dr appointment, I hear "I love bof of you" from Dempsey.

Sawyer repeats the sentiment.

Dempsey repeats.

This repeats a few times amid some giggles.

I love these moments!

Sleepy Head

In recent months Dempsey has been falling asleep out in the living room while watching some animated movie. This requires him to be transported to his bed.

I love watching Jake carry our sleeping baby (3 year old) off to bed.

Tonight we picked up where we left off with Aristocats. Ten, maybe fifteen minutes in Dempsey was out. Cute boy in his Thomas the Train jammies laying with his blanket on the couch next to big brother. Precious.
