Kids Say the Funniest Things...and I Love It

We hit up a free Braves baseball game

Last year the boys and I evacuated for the hurricane. We ended up in Atlanta and had a great time of exploring the aquarium, zoo, parks, and especially the 'ho-in-tel', as Cayden pronounced our hotel. I love the words kids come up with when learning to speak. One of my favorites developed after that Atlanta trip. We go home to visit my family outside Orlando and Cayden has managed to combine both big cities together into one awesome name. Just ask him. He'll tell you his favorite place is Atlando.

My little Chewiebacca- down to the crocs

When Micah was younger he loved going to Chick-Fil-A, aka Chicken Away. How could you say no to that? And the  adorable way he told me his ears hurt. "Mommy, there's bumblebees in my ear." I didn't have the heart to correct him for a long time...then my teacher sister took it upon herself to 'help' him learn to speak the 'right' way. (Notice the quotation marks- I still disagree and it's still a sore subject.) He learned that lunchbiddles were really lunchables, woo-woos  must be called firetrucks, and Chewiebacca actually had the much more boring name of Chewbacca. That was a devastating time for me- I hate that they have to grow up.

Fortunately, Cayden came along and has a whole new world of fun words for me to enjoy. Plus, my sister is four hours away and can't ruin it. He loves playing outside, but when the bugs get bad, he comes running back to escape the spagheettos. And this year for Easter, he got a basket full of goodies from the Oyster Bunny. Where that one came from, I have no clue.

Two of my men

I'm still waiting for Ez to talk enough for me to find some new gems. Right now, he likes ruff-ruffs (dogs), and shrieking 'MAAAAAAA' at the top of his lungs when I'm a full two feet away instead of holding him.

So in conclusion, go visit the scenic Atlando. While you're there, take your ruff-ruff for a walk to Chicken Away, then head to bed wearing your jammy-jams and make sure your mama gives you night-night snuggles.

Best buddies
