"It's Showtime"
Just wanted to share quick stories (most I don't think I've shared before):
I was changing Lukas in public yesterday and normally he is real nervous about people seeing him naked, but apparently not this time because he said, "It's okay. It'll be fun. People can watch the naked show." I didn't think he really said that, but then this morning when we had the same situation (we were camping - I don't normally change him in public) and I was changing him quickly in public, he yelled, "It's Showtime."
Adelaine thinks that to make a really big point about how many times she did something is to not only yell it really way too loud and too many times, but to say, "I did it 1 time, 14 times and then I did it 2 times." Woah - 2 times.
Our friend Paula shared a story about when I was in Africa (forgive me Paula if I got any of this wrong, but I think I got it right). Paula was taking both Morgan and Lukas to her house. Morgan (her sweet daughter who Lukas thinks about day and night) was talking about how she and Lukas are in love and they are going to get married and they are going to get a house and they are going to have kids. I was surprised to hear that Lukas wasn't pumped about Morgan's plans for his life since all he does is think about things he can buy her or make her, but instead Paula said he was really quiet and very serious, but then just said after thinking about this grown up life with Morgan, "I gotta get a job."
Adelaine and Lukas both run with Adam and I when we go jogging (their choice I swear). However, Adelaine gets very mad that Lukas is faster than her. However, she has gotten in the habit of waiting until Lukas is looking at a tree or rock or is distracted and then bolting past him while laughing a villan laugh of 3 "ha ha ha"s.
Not sure I ever shared about Lukas' 4 year doctor appointment many months ago, but I was remembering it today (forgive the repeat if I did). He got a shot and was very very brave, but then as we were leaving he was very angry with me for having accidentally grabbed his arm where he just got his shot and he "fake fainted". It was brilliant really. He rolled his eyes back and fell to the floor. The nurse was running to him and obviously disgusted at me when I casually said, "He's fine." But then I said, "Lukas, get up, we gotta go. Come or you don't get your sticker as we leave..." and up he hopped. THe nurse was in shock and just quietly said, "he's gotta be in theatre."
Lastly, I have a good friend here in Portland named Sarah who I knew in college too. THough she doesn't have kids yet she is amazing to meet me with the kids places and love on them (sometimes I even get to hang out with her without the kids). The kids love her. Whenever we see her they talk about her after. Recently we had 3 discussions after we saw her. 1 - watching a princess movie, Adelaine said one of the princesses was like Sarah. 2 - We were leaving the house and Adelaine asked if we were going to see Sarah. I said, "no sorry honey." She said emphatically, "but Mama, I have to see my Sarah.". THe classic was from Lukas though: We were driving and saw 2 women walking with 2 kids. Adelaine and Lukas had a discussion in the back seat. Lukas was convinced that it wasn't 2 mommys, but 1 mommy and the other lady was a "grandma or a Sarah." "Sarah" is a term for someone who just tags along and loves on your kids. Wow... I hope God can help me be that to my friends!
