One Month

Only one month until my precious baby girl turns two.  I can hardly believe she is getting so big.

I love this age!

My mom always said that 4 was one of her favorite ages.  I can totally see why.  Brooks is so much fun right now.  He can actually have conversations, ask questions, engage in activities, remember things that actually have meaning, and he says some REALLY funny things.  Here are some of my favorite funny things Brooks has said:

Brooks was sitting on the potty and I was in the bathroom with him.  And since I was in the bathroom, I decided to let out a little toot.  This was Brooks' response:

"Mom, I love you - but not when you stink...like eggs.  Did you have eggs for breakfast?"

Me: "Brooks, mommy's throat hurts today."

Brooks: "Okay mom, then I won't punch you in the throat."

After some serious VBS talks about how God created the world, Brooks was naming everything that he could see that God created.  And then he said this:

"Mom?  Do you know what God made?  Your sunglasses!  But he didn't make poop and teetee, mom, because he only makes nice things."

I love the school where Brooks and I go.  I love that they are encouraging him to pray for others.  This is what he did on our way home from school the other day:

"Mom?  I want to tell God something." (Then he rolls the window down and shouts out the window at the top of his lungs.)  "GOD?!  HELP TALLY'S CHIN FEEL BETTER.  GOD?!  YOU'RE SPECIAL.  YOU MADE THE FLOWERS."  (And then he rolled the window back up.)

"This little piggie went to the market.  This little piggie got married.  This little piggie went to HEB.  And this little piggie went weeweewee all the way home."

After his soccer game (which he lost 18-3) Brooks came sprinting over to the sidelines to give us some high-fives.  We did the typical, "We're so proud of you" and "You did great out there, Buddy".  All he could say was:
"Yeah.  And I scored, like, how many goals?"
Mom and Dad: "One."
I guess this might only be funny to those who are lucky enough to see Brooks play.  Let's just say that he's really having fun...and that's all that matters.  He just happened to kick the ball in the net - and we were really excited for him.  Little man just kind of let it go to his head - I guess he was having so much fun that he just "lost count" of his goals.  Too funny.

Just plain silly.
