I probaby don’t write enough about little Levi and Asher. Since I gave up writing a journal about my boys after I accidentally lost it while traveling around Germany during maternity leave with Levi, the blog is all I really have to record everything fun or significant in their lives.Â
Levi is really talking now, but really not as much as his age would warrant. He likes to say things like:
- “Show me.” (meaning “show me” or “I want to show you”)
- “I see Mack” (meaning “I see a semi truck that looks like Mack from the Cars movie and am really excited about it”)
- “I see two Macks” (meaning I see 2 semi trucks that look like Mack from the Cars movie at the same time and am really, really excited about it)
- “Playroom. Car race.” (meaning “I want you to come with me to the playroom and have a car race”)
- “Mommy juice” (meaning I want some of Mommy’s sugar free orange drink)
- “Daddy juice” (meaning he wants Daddy’s fancy Tropicana OJ and not his standard OJ out of a concentrate)
- “Daddy told me” (meaning Daddy just told him something pretty significant, usually that he couldn’t have something or do something)
- “Cars 2” (meaning “I want to watch Cars 2”)
- “Jude mean” (meaning “Jude was mean to me”)
- “Hi Mom” (meaning “I just want to talk and say something that I know you’ll understand”)
- “Oh no” (frequent expression from my middle drama king — at least the boys get this fine quality from me)
- “Levi school” (meaning “I want to do school like Jude”)
- “Mommy buuh” (meaning “I see a bus that looks like Mommy’s bus”)
- “Levi hut” (meaning “I’m going outside and I need my Hut (German for “hat”)
- “Jude wake?” “Bobo wake?” (meaning “Are Jude and Asher awake?”)
- “Eins, two, three, four, five” (meaning “I can count, but only in a combination of English and German”)
- “Green bar” (meaning “I want a green (apple cinnamon) NutriGrain bar and not a blue one or a red one”)
- “Sanks” (meaning “thanks”) (so sweet that he loves to say thanks and says it without prompting him)
- “I go Jill’s House” (meaning “I want to go to Jill’s House in Bloomington, Indiana)
- “Call Sofi” (meaning he wants to call his friend Sofia from Ukraine — so cute — she’s his first friend other than his brothers)
- “Buy me gold fish” (meaning he thinks we are out of Gold Fish cracker and we need to buy more pronto)
Asher is the cutest little walker, so confident and smug. Andy nailed it the other night when he described Asher as strutting around “like a manager.” He really acts like he owns the place, which I think is so cute, and he is interested in big boy toys and any techie item (like phones, remote controls, the iPad and computer).
