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

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!

Chocolate

Today while I was making dinner I heard Cyrus say while playing on his own, "If someone was sad - I would go to the store and buy them chocolate!"  Remember that next time Mommy has a hard day kiddo.

Birthday cookies

We had Cindy Kay's birthday party with Eric's family today and she got to open her presents, eat cake, etc.  Cyrus was really supportive of it being Cindy's day but he did say one thing that I don't want to forget.  When Cindy opened one of her gifts (a bag of animal crackers) Cyrus shouted out -really loud- "Birthday cookies for me and Cindy to share!"  We are really hitting sharing with him lately, he is pretty good at making sure Cindy shares...and doing better at sharing himself too. 

To be awesome

A couple Sundays ago during lunch Cyrus us that "Daddy is awesome.".  Sweet right?  Then he turns to me and says "Mommy tries to be awesome."  -Ouch! Good thing my ego can withstand being compared to Daddy!

Darn Boogers

Today Cyrus woke up with a runny nose.  While Eric was getting ready Cyrus told him that today he "has a sickness".  Eric asked him what he was sick with and Cyrus replied that he has a "booger brain".  Poor kid, that doesn't sound fun at all!

New Year's Resolutions

For family night tonight we taught Cyrus about making goals to be more like Jesus.  After the lesson we asked him what his goal for this year will be.  He promptly said: To be like a shepherd (I have no idea where he came up with that).  But we went with it and asked him what he could do to be like a shepherd.  This is what we ended up with: give people hugs, share with people, read stories with Mommy, say prayers, go to church, and learn about Jesus. Those sound like good goals to me!
