Mac'isms
A few funny things Mac has been saying lately:
He has made up a new conjunction. Instead of saying "I'm not." He says "I amn't" Am + Not = amn't.
When Nathan is in charge of putting him to bed, sometimes he'll cop out and say "I'll make you a deal. One more show, but no books." or something like that. The other night, Mac was on the verge of a fit, Nathan was in charge, and Mac (hysterically) yells out, "Can you make a deal?"
Instead of saying "actually" Mac will use the word "exactly." i.e. "Exactly, I want the red one."
He seems to be carrying a lot of things, pretend of course, in his back pocket. "Oh, I have a screwdriver in my back pocket." This morning, Mac had a newspaper and a lasso in his back pocket.
His imaginary friends are "Frankie" and "Anchor." ? ? ?
He negotiates and explains things very dramatically. Imagine him bobbing him head up and down and holding his hands out in front of him saying, "Well, (lip smack -l.s.), you see, (l.s.) you could just give me a treat now and then, (l.s.) I would just..." "But Mac I am offering you some Cheezits." "But Mommy (l.s.), Cheezits are not a treat." "Why aren't they a treat Mac." "Because, (l.s.) Mommy treats have sugar in them. So, I need a treat. OK?"
"member"...Mac will say, "Mom, Mom. I want to watch Scooby Doo. The one Daddy let me watch last night. ...member, the one Daddy let me watch. Member, Mom?" Member = remember.
There are more, I just can't remember them right now.

Eli's-a-walkin'
On Sunday, April 5th, 2009, Eli started walking. Of course it was AFTER GhiGhi and Papaw left! Oh sure, he has taken a few "lucky" steps before, but these were deliberate and intentional steps! I am trying to upload video but having no luck. I will keep trying.
