Monday night Patrick was working and I went to a meeting for church for a couple hours. Aunt Bethie to the rescue. As I sometimes capture little funny conversations among the kids, Beth had that chance on Monday. She told me this after she went home:
"...the kids were good. when i first put leah down, i sat at the top of the stairs for a few minutes and enjoyed listening to the boys' conversations...hilarious. nathaniel kept saying that you were never going to be home, maybe tomorrow; leyton kept confirming that you would be home; nathaniel told leyton aunt bethie can't stay that long (until morning) because she doesn't have her jammies.
earlier in the night when i came to the main floor with leah for a little bit after she climbed up from down-down, when the boys came up the stairs, i heard nathaniel encouraging leyton to ask me if they could watch something - do you think aunt bethie knows how to work the dvd/vcr (one of those was mentioned); leyton came over and said nathaniel wanted me to ask you if we could watch...i didn't want to ask you aunt bethie..."
I told her this is just the kind of thing that's funny to just sit back & watch/listen to. I love their conversations. Then her other story was with Jacob & the search for a missing toothbrush:
"jakey and his missing toothbrush...it went something like this...
(J) i want my other toothbrush
(B) where is it
(J) behind the couch
(B) i can't find it?
(J) (in a very similar tone as my previous response) yes you can
repeat above sequence...it was hard not to crack up laughing the first time he said, "Yes you can." he was up in the bathroom waiting with a little truck or something, driving it along the countertop"
