Hide and Here-I-Am!

One day I was folding laundry in my room. Micah hid behind a door and Josiah came looking for him. Micah stayed quiet while Josiah looked, and I didn't give away his hiding place. Finally, I gave a hint. Josiah found Micah, and Hide-and-Seek was born. They took turns hiding and finding each other. Noah heard the fun and decided to join in. Micah and Josiah hid in the closet and Noah hid in the corner behind the sofa. I called out to Josiah and Micah, "Okay, where's Noah?" Almost as soon as I say it, out pops Noah, giggling and screaming gleefully. "Here I am!" he called out. Josiah and Micah ran to him and they chased each other for a bit and did the same thing again. Noah hid in the shower. When it was time to find him, he ran out shouting, "Peet-a-doo!" (his version of Peek-a-boo) I think Noah doesn't "get" hide and seek. But still, they had fun.

Wii love stayin home.

By the title, I'm sure you can guess that the boys have a Wii. They got it for Christmas last year. It keeps them busy and entertained, but they still scream, fight, and want mama to break things up and play referee. I need to start keeping up with the things the boys say, because they're coming up with good ones, and they are being really sweet.

Josiah saw a picture of me pregnant, and I told him that he and his brothers were there in my belly.
"You eat babies!?" he asked in a shocked voice. I explained that God put little seeds inside me and they grew into babies. He was not convinced. He still asks why I eat babies.

Noah has become very affectionate lately. He comes up to me when I'm sitting down, kisses my cheek and says "I Wove you, Mama." Then he'll do it again. And again, and again. Sometimes he'll start sniffing my pants. It's kind of embarrassing for me, so I ask him what he's doing. "I'm smewing you pants!" is his reply. Like that's a normal thing. But he's building memories, and again showing his affection.

One day, he woke up soaked from peeing in bed. Yes, it upsets me, and I got mad and said, "you peed in your bed again!" He said, "No, the bed peed!"

Micah is a cuddle bug. He still likes coming to my bed (and he's four) in the middle of the night. If it's early, I'll take him back to his bed. If it's after three, then he gets to stay, since I'm too groggy (and let's face it, lazy) to take him back. He seems to like to always be touching me, because I feel his feet on my back or in my face. He's the only one I trust in my bed, because he won't pee in bed at night. What a champ. He seems to get the grasp of many things very quickly.
