Drew and Owen like to call their grandparents on their toy phones. They like to talk to their grandparents on the real phone too, but there's a huge difference between actual and pretend conversations.
A pretend conversation will go something like this:
"Hi, Grandpa ... This is Drew?... Yes... We're watching basketball... You like hamburgers?... Talk to you later!"
An actual conversation will go something like this:
"Hi, Grandpa... ... ... ... ... ... ... yes ... ... ... basketball ... Bye." They won't say much of anything, and if they do say something, it's in a barely audible whisper.
The boys are learning how to say prayers. We let them have a turn blessing the food at meal times. Sometimes they try to pray at the same time, sometimes when one of them has a turn, the other doesn't want to wait til next meal for his turn, so he says a prayer too. (I'm not a horrible cook, but I guess the food could probably use the extra blessings anyway.) Sometimes I have a hard time not giggling when they pray. It's just so cute. They squint up their eyes, but keep them slightly open and look around as they're praying. And they say cute things. This morning, Owen's prayer went like this: "Heavenly Father, blessings, house, garage car [what they call David's Camero--it stays in the garage during the wintry months], Dad work train ... blessings, house ... food ... name of Christ, Amen."
Samantha is working on her sitting skills. She's been able to sit supported for a while now, but she's still a little wobbly sitting on her own. She's not at all intersted in crawling. She still gets mad when I put her on her tummy. She does a little scooting around on the back of her head and that's how she gets her toys. Owen did the same thing when he was her age. Here's what it looks like (this is Owen; I haven 't got any Samantha footage yet. Also, turn the sound down--Drew is crying loudly in the background...):
