| Kian got himself ready to go play in the snow. |
Kian is in an interesting position as the 4th boy. I feel like he has grown up too fast. Leaps and bounds faster than his older brothers did.
Not only does he want to DO everything that his older bros are doing, but he wants to SAY everything they are saying. It very sad sometimes. I often think...."What happened to my baby? He's not old enough to be talking to me like this."
Some of his latest phrases crack me up...and scare me at the same time. :)
Here are a few:
"Mooooooom" (and also, rarely, "Daaaaaaaaad") said in a "stop teasing me" embarrassed kinda way (he picked it up from Cael, who embarrasses easily). He says it often...including EVERY time one drives over a rumble strip on the road. Makes for pretty interesting...and sometimes annoying...traveling when you are headed to the middle of nowhere (which we have done a lot lately) on two lane roads that are full of them. :)
"Da naw faya" (That's not fair) Often times added to the above. As in "Moooooom....da naw faya"
"Whyyyyyy?" not in a inquisitive sort of way...but a snotty teenager kinda way. Enough said......scary!
Funny story.
Kian LOVES the water. He always has....right from the beginning. This weekend we stayed in a hotel with a pool. The kids were dying to go swimming. Especially Kian. He has NO FEAR! After a few minutes of watching his brothers jump off the edge into the water he wanted to do it too, with or without Rob and I there to catch him. We had to keep a constant watch on him. He would ask to be put up on the edge and then scurry off, as fast as possible, to try to jump off the edge before Rob or I could get to him. Luckily we were able to keep up...no drowning. When we finally had to leave the pool he cried for over 30 minutes. Sobs racked his body and he kept wailing, "waer........Waer.........WAER!" (water, Water, WATER). Poor thing hadn't had a nap. :)
We love our little Kian. He's turned out to be just what we prayed for. Yeah, I realize that I might have to eat those words one day....but for now....they are so true.
