Toddler Talk Tuesday


Our little Ivy never ceases to have something funny to say. She has been coming to me and saying "Okay, I've got some good news and some bad news" (a phrase she picked up from the movie "Toy Story") and then she proceeds to tell me in her mind what the good and bad news is. (Usually there is just good news or bad news, not both) This morning, the bad news was that she couldn't get her swim suit on because it was turned inside out. That was easily turned into good news.

If you have seen the show "Super Why?" on PBS, then you will understand why Ivy has said the following. She has been using this as an excuse if there is anything that she does not want to do. On Sunday, the girls were sitting at the table, each putting together their own puzzle. Ivy was putting together a puzzle that had 12 pieces with a picture of Jesus on it. She was struggling to put it together and Scotlyn said "Ivy you can do it". Ivy's reply was "No, I can't, it says right here in my story, 'Ivy could not put the Jesus puzzle together'".
Then last night, I asked Ivy to help pick up the blocks on the floor, when again she said "No, I can't, it says right here in my story, 'Ivy cannot help pick up the blocks'".

She also told me not to long ago that she wanted to jump into the TV. Mason loves it and will always point to the TV when Scotlyn leaves for school because he knows he can watch "Sid the Science Kid" and Super Why?" back to back. These are his two favorite shows ever. I really don't feel like the kids watch too much TV, but I guess they pick up on things rather quickly.

I think its so funny when they say things like that, even if its not really funny as a parent :) They are so creative and cute. I love it when they do things like lay out curlers for a slumber party. Too cute!

Scotlyn's Birthday Party

Image
Scotlyn's birthday is this coming Thursday, but because her birthday always falls around General Conference time, we try to have her party the week before conference. She has been counting down the days until her party all week. It was a lot of fun, and was so nice to have her party outside this year. Every year on her birthday, the weather has been cold, until this year. This is a picture of her a couple of days ago, when she decided she was going to build a hot air balloon and fly to Salt Lake. She packed a change of clothes in her backpack and took food with her in the box. She also had a few toys with her, but when she was ready to fly, she realized that there was not room for her to sit in the box. She kept saying to me, "Mom, this is really going to work. I'm going to Salt Lake, I'll be back later". It was too cute. She never did make it to Salt Lake, but she didn't seem too disappointed that she didn't fly. I love how at this age, they lo...
