In an effort to keep the kids a little less rowdy and a little more safe, there is a flat rule of no running in the house. Unfortunately it is something that needs to be reminded constantly. Today Nels came to me very distraught and said as best he could, “Gavin…running…in…house!”
Yes, he was tattle-telling but it was the most complete sentence I think he’s used.
Solvei and Nels are learning new words everyday, so I thought I would share their favorites (most used) as of late.
They have both mastered “Mine!” and “No, Mine!” and Solvei has frequently been using “Own”. As you might be able to tell, they are becoming demanding, ornery little cusses!
On a cuter note, Gavin is pronounced “Gaa-Gaa” Saedi is “HeeHee” and because we call Nels “Nelsy Nose” Solvei calls him “No-No”.
I find myself telling all of the kids to do things “now” because they don’t listen or they dawdle (I know, just like I used to). Nate was working tonight until late, so when we picked up dinner, I brought food to him and then we went home to eat ours. The whole drive from the restaurant, to post, then home, the car smelled like food. Nels was hungry and he whined to me many times “Momma, eat.” I would reply with an “I know, when we get home, we’re almost there.” After a few times of this, when we were about half a mile from the house, Nels finally said “Momma…Eat….NOW!”
