Before I Forget

We have started packing.  Our time here in Texas is quickly winding down.  I am so excited for Dave to finally be ours, and not be in school anymore.  I found a list today of cute little things Joshua said and did that I had scribbled on a scratch piece of paper.  I want to type them before I either lost the paper, or forgot what I wrote. Some of these were from when he was two.

Joshua: (these were for sure when he was 2)
*says "dee doo" and it means thank you (Audrey used to say gee goo when she was a baby, sometimes Dave and I will still joke and say gee goo to each other)
*he was worried that everyone and everything was going to bite him.  At the grocery store, "Mommy, that man bite me?" or "That tree bite me?" He was bitten by a wasp once, I think that's where that fear steams from
*asks a question and when I respond he says, "Oh, hee hee" I loved his little giggle at the end
*he would always ask me, "Dat make you happy mommy?" If I ever wanted anything I could just say it made me sad when he didn't do what I asked and without fail he would do what I asked.  And then say, "Dat make you happy?" to which I would always respond, "Yes Joshua, you make me very happy."
*said, "hooray!" if he was excited about something
*when saying prayer, it sounded like he was saying "chuck e. cheese" instead of Jesus.  Maybe he was?
*when he said "why" it sounded like "hi".  I'm sure people thought he was a very friendly little boy (which he is) when he was really being very inquisitive
* this boy has the best ears.  He can hear noises I tune out.  Like when the air conditioner turns on he woud ask, "whats dat noise?" to explain to me the noise, he would pretend to snap his fingers, and make a clicking sound with his tongue.  One time at Walmart he pointed to the temperature gauge in the milk section and said, "Mom! Wook!" And then make the clicking sound with his tongue and pretended to snap his fingers.  He put it together that the cold air must be coming on
*he called his binki his "ba ba"
* right before I had Austin I was snuggling with Joshua on his rocking chair (the best I could with a huge belly) and I told him how he used to be a baby in my tummy.  He pulled up my shirt and put his head against my belly and said, "Me no fit na" translation: I don't fit in there
*when Austin was a newborn he got the hiccups.  I said, "Joshua, look! Austin has the hiccups!" Joshua ran over to me and put his hand on my belly.  He was so used to feeling the baby have the hiccups inside of me that he forgot the baby was out
*when Austin was a newborn, Joshua couldn't remember his name.  He thought his name was Rockwell, my nephew. When we asked Joshua what his baby's name was, he would either say, "Wockwell" or pause for a long time.  Then we would say, "Aa, aaaa, aaa...." and he would still say, "Aaa, aaa, aa, wochwell!" Then when he finally learned his baby's name was Austin, he would pronounce it Raustin
* He would look at Austin and say, "Is dat my baby?" My friend Mandy had a baby 10 days before I had Austin, and Joshua couldn't tell them apart
*Joshua would repeat everything I would say to Austin.  I loved it.  He still does this sometimes.  When we would go get Austin up after a nap I would say, "Good morning sweet boy!" and then Joshua would say the exact same thing in his little baby voice.  Then I would make up these sayings just to hear how cute Joshua was when he said them..."Good morning chubbalicious", or "How's our sweet little man?"
* Joshua said to me one day, "Mom, I love you" then I said, "I love you more" and then he said, "I love you most. Hey! The witch on Tangled say that!"
* Currently, Joshua says, "And dats it" when he wants something to stop

Audrey also has been saying some cute things too.  One day they were playing in Audrey's room together and I heard Audrey say, "I just love you when you make that face Joshua!" I went in and asked what kind of face he made and it was a smile.  I love how well these two get along.

Audrey will be watching Austin and say, "I am just dying over him! He is so cute!"
