More Kidisms

Ok, since the blogging gods have rejected my plea for nicer weather (I think it has snowed 4 times and rained 3 times since my "Snow, Snow go away" chant), here are some more kidisms to cheer myself up.
One day when we were talking about Cole's middle name, it's just the letter B (it's a family thing, so Cole and I just have to deal with it), Cole decided that he wanted his B to stand for BYU. Then, as the conversation continued, Cole realized that "Cougar" starts the same as Cole. This was a great revelation to him and he decided that he was changing his name to Cougar BYU Gwilliam. For the rest of the day, he refused to answer to Cole and would only answer to Cougar. (I'm pretty sure his Dad's encouragement only made this worse!)
Cole loves to play on the computer and has actually gotten pretty computer savvy. However, he thinks that all you have to do to get to a website you want is to add "dot com" after it, even though he has no idea what that means! (And the scary thing is, a lot of his websites do work that way!) He's always coming to me asking me if I can get him on Transformers dot com, Spongebob dot com, or Star Wars dot com. I finally had to explain to him one day that that's not really the way the internet works.

Emily always brings a smile to my face. (Except of course when she's getting in trouble, which has been happening a lot lately!) One day, we had just gotten home and I was trying to walk inside when she climbed on her bike and asked me if she could ride it. I told her that she couldn't ride her bike when there was snow on the ground because it was too cold. She looked at me and said, "But Mom, I just want to go wee, wee, wee all the way home." I about fell down laughing. I have no idea where it came from, except that we had probably been doing the little piggies rhyme with Addy at some point.
Emily is in a stage where she likes to copy everything other people do, much to Cole's dismay. This is particularly true when it comes to Addy. Emily thinks her baby doll needs to do everything that Addy does. So, she feeds her baby cereal, she puts her down for a nap, she wraps her in a blanket, she puts a burp rag on her shoulder and burps her, and she feeds her "Mommy's Milk". Hopefully she outgrows that one before she gets too much older!! She also thinks her baby needs a diaper change. As if I didn't have enough diapers to change around here without having to change a baby doll's diaper at the same time also!

Addy is extremely cute these days. She loves to play and interact. She also has a very cute laugh. One of the cutest things she does is that when she gets excited, she kicks her little legs nonstop. You can always tell when she's excited to see you or when she sees something she wants because her little legs just start flailing.
And I should say that Addy is extremely cute when her Mom is around. When I am not around however, Addy spends the majority of the time crying. I often return to a splotchy, red-faced little girl, who as soon as I take her from the poor soul starts grinning and kicking her legs excitedly like she won the battle. We have had to rotate the people that we ask to watch her so we don't start losing friends. Rumor has it her Mom used to do that when she was younger as well, but I'm pretty sure that's just a rumor!
