Growing-up way too fast!

I just can't believe that my little man is going to be four soon! Anyway we told him that his Birthday is coming-up and he said excitedly "will I be as big as Daddy then?" He told us the the other day when he gets to be an "indult" (adult) he is going to live with Mama and Daddy and drive trains, make Christmas lights and be a pet doctor (he will drive the trains during the day to deliver the lights he made at night and he is also going to be a pet doctor at night) . He just loves to be Daddy's little helper too. Today he was trying to help him break-up some boxes for the garbage and he said "this is hard work, I'm out of breath." He just cracks-us up sometimes. On Sunday we where leaving for church and he had his dress shoes on (they don't like to stay tied) and by the time we got to our vehicle they where untied and he turned to me and said "I'm appointed (disappointed) and I said why and he said "because my shoes came untied." Oh and today his tonka truck was "duty" and I said do you mean "heavy duty" and he said yes it's "duty." We sure are going to miss those litte expressions some day! He has also been wanting to know what EVERYTHING says, if we are at the grocery store and he says what do those signs say I have to read every single thing to him even the little ones such as restroom (it has opened my eyes though and made my realize what I don't pay attention too, just pulling-up to the store the other day I had to read about ten signs out loud and if someone beforehand would have asked me how many signs are in fron of econo foods I would have said one). Gotta love it, he is our little reader, tonight we read a book and he said they should have made that book longer and added more to it (and I thought it was a decent size).

Rose Ella here has now learned how to open and close all of our doors (thank goodness we have those impossible child proof door knobs on all of our outside doors now the only thing is half the time I can't even open them) anyway that is her latest game, opening any closed doors and shutting any open doors. Such a goof. Oh and she has this whole shoe thing completely backwards. I don't get it, she loves to wear shoes in the house (especially those Thomas sandals) but as soon as we get into the suburban in the cold (where it has been around the teens in temperature lately) there goes the shoes or boots and socks immediately sprawled all over the place and every single time. What is up with that little girlfriend! Everyday she is putting more and more words together it is just so amazing(or as Walter says inmazing) and she defiantly knows exactly what she wants! She was looking at all of our photo Christmas cards yesterday and I ended-up rearranging them because she said "put Brady(her cousin) down here" (closer to my reach) so I moved it down the refrigerator and she kept trying to run around the house with it, so it is now in the middle of the refrigerator where it is too high for her to take off but easier for her to see. Oh and lately after she is done eating she comes up to us and says "get you?" "come on" and Jeff and I have to take turns chasing her and giving her big kisses, she tells us too when it's the other persons turn, such a cutie.
