Baby Name Ideas

A couple of days ago, Kai yelled in to me from the other room where he was playing with Carter, "If we have a boy, we should name him Santa Claus. Carter wants to."
Then Carter piped in,"Yeah, liddoe baby anta cuash" (translation: "little baby Santa Claus"--with Carter lately everything that is at all small is described as "liddoe baby . . .")
Then Kai said, "And if it’s a girl we’ll just name her Mrs. Claus."
I guess that makes our job easier. :)

Kai likes to rock

We were eating lunch and Kai was singing, “Santa Clause is coming to town . . .” then he says, “Mom, let’s rock this house with that song.”
That may have come from the fact that he really loves the Bruce Springsteen version of that song and always asks me to play it again when we hear it on the radio.

Nice Try

Max's latest excuse for doing things he's not supposed to do is, “Well, Ella's teaching me how.”, or “Ella taught me how to.”

Don't You Wish...

We were at a park in St. George today and there was a label on the playground that said “Max systems.” Max said, “It says M-A-X! That must mean it's my park, Mom and Dad!”
