Daddy's jokes

During lunch today Cyrus turned to me and yelled "who's at the door?" I had not heard anyone at the door and I told him so.  He told me Daddy had taught him to say, "who's at the door?" and then say "banana".  It was at that point everything clicked.  Cyrus and Eric must have been practicing "Knock knock" jokes.

Pets

Last month we got a new dog and yesterday in the car Cyrus was ready for an upgrade.  He told me "a kangaroo would make a good pet, better than a giraffe because it is not so big".

Cindy Kay is now using two word phrases, like: hat on, hat off, shoes on, shoes off, momma pretty (describing my jewelry), where is he/she, sammy bone, ect.  She loves to chat and says hello to people in the store and then tells them goodbye.  It is pretty cute.

Technology

Today Cyrus was talking on the phone with my mom and he was telling her about how I made muffins (totally untrue, I brought home some extra cupcakes from a RS activity).  He told my mom that I am "quite a good baker".  Which I thought was super cute.

Then tonight he turned to me at dinner and asked me "Is LOL a number?"  Ha Ha

Quick Cindy sayings:
ball, cookie, momma, daddy, ba ba (brother), Jesus, cheese, please, no, yeah, tweet tweet, monkey sound, woof, eat, Pops, up, down, open, more, on, hat, bum, eye, go, fish, boo

Quick Cindy signings:
cookie, help, please, mine, baby, eat, drink, bird, shoes, more, hat, go, fish

Now he's in preschool :)

Cyrus brought home a pudding art picture today and we enjoyed smelling it, apparently he got really into squishing the pudding in his hands, his picture was covered! Well as I was preparing lunch I found Cyrus teaching Cindy how to lick his picture, what a yummy snack! He tells me "she likes to smell it and lick it the most"

Also I have been volunteering at his preschool and helping the kids with counting and matching.  Today during lunch I was counting with Cyrus and we were in the twenties...he says twenty-one, twenty-two...twenty-eight, twenty-nine, twenty-ten!  It was super cute.

Smarty pants

Recently my sister-in-law shared this story with me, enjoy!
"Cyrus was Skyping with us and he was talking about his favorite TMNT, which is of course the same as Eric's favorite. He was with Marianne & Kevin so we were joking that he must have been influenced to pick that one.  To which Cyrus responded "I have been influenced". He was so serious and matter of fact about it that we burst out laughing."

Cyrus has a few chores around the house, his favorite it unloading the clean silverware and putting it away. The other day I told him it was time for him to help with the silverware and he held up his little plastic green spoon and told me he like to unload "silverware and plasticware" too.

Happy Father's Day

Today I asked Cyrus why he loves Daddy: because Daddy goes to work to get money to pay for our house.
What he likes best about Daddy: that Daddy loves the gospel
What he likes best about Mommy: that she wipes my bum and does the dishes 

Glad to know my hard work is appreciated!

Weddings

Today Kevin and Kacee got hitched and Cyrus was very excited to go to a wedding (and a little bummed when he couldn't go inside the temple to watch).  After the pictures Cyrus ran up to Kacee and told her "Congratulations on getting weddinged!".  At their reception our family sang a song from "James and the Giant Peach" called "Family".  Cyrus grabbed the microphone and sang the entire song very proudly (and loudly).  I love watching/hearing that boy sing!
