2012 01 More Funny Sayings
Our triplets are now 3 years 7 months and started school this week. The rate of funny things they say has accelerated faster than I can document. Also, they have become somewhat more reluctant to perform on video to capture these sayings.
It is a recent development that they want to be " the leader". Rather than say, " Follow me", they say, "Follow TO me"
They are amazed when they see a convertible car. They do not yet know the term "a convertible", but rather describe the car as, " that car has no sunroof".
The rule in our home is when it is dark out, it is bedtime, and when it is light out you can get out of bed in the morning, (Good thing we do not live in the arctic). When Cooper walks into our room in the morning and he is ready for the day to begin, he explains to us, " The sun came up".
One night Cooper came into our room at 2:08 AM. He was crawling into our bed over Audrey but she was going to have none of it and used this as a teaching lesson. She showed Cooper her digital clock radio and pointed to the "2" and said, "Cooper, this is a two, when it says "7" you can come back into our bed". Cooper looked at her, and looked back at the clock, pointed to clock, and said, "and this is a zero", to make his own teaching point and continued to climb into bed over Audrey.

More Funny things
Our Triplets, Bryce, Cooper and Darcy are now 3 years 5 months old. Avery is 14 months old
Cooper:
Cooper is a constant stream of chatter. Once he starts to talk he has no off switch. He talks to everyone and is not shy to ask anyone questions. He confidently walks up to strangers and says, "Wuts yurrr name?" (This is the opposite of Darcy, who also has lots to say, but shields herself with Mommy or Daddy and avoid speaking with strangers). The other day on one of our "adventures", (an "adventure" consists of walking on or around the block), we often bring people's newspapers that are scattered on our neighbors lawns to their front doors. We often bump into neighbors who are on walk with their pets. This night we walked to the baseball field and watch soccer games. On the way back, as we walk on the sidewalk, occupying the entire width, we happened to stop a man who who was walking alone. Cooper without hesitating looked at the man and said, "Man,,,,,, wherz your dog?" The man walked off not exactly sure what Cooper said but we thought it was funny.
Most mornings, when I have breakfast, I give some of my sugary "junk" cereal to the triplets in miniature plastic Astros batting helmets. They eat the cereal and ask me for more as I eat my cereal on one of our bar stools at the counter passing their cups up to me which I fill and pass back down. Avery is usually in her high chair strapped in. On this morning she crawled to me pulled herself up and gave me a couple of taps on my knee until I relented and gave her some flakes of cereal in her hand. I went back to eating and Avery crawled off. A few minutes later I had tapping at my back. When I looked down Avery had picked up an Astos cap and was tapping my back with it. I took the cap, as I do with the triplets filled it with cereal and gave it back to her. She was happy.
