words

Ok, two quick things: When Devin was born Dallin had really wanted to name him Brayden. We had talked about that name quite a bit, but in the end went with Devin (obviously). Anyway, the first couple of days that Devin was home from the hospital, Dallin refused to call him Devin. He even cried about it and he even called him Brayden during that time. Having a new sibling stresses kids out in weird ways...

Next, Emily my little bookworm, loves to read and learn and eavesdrop on any possible adult conversation. She also keeps trying to increase her vocabulary, which is great. However, today she said something that I found so cute I didn't even correct her. She had warmed up a hotdog in the microwave--because that's what it has come to around here. Then she was trying to put the hotdog in the bun, but found it too hot. So, she yelled to me (I was not in the kitchen), "I'll just use the croutons."
I knew immediately what she was going to do, but I found it awesome that she is still a little kid despite all of her best efforts to be grown-up.
She was going to get the wooden tongs to move the hot dog. Cute kid.

Croutons! How funny. I know about the kids acting crazy around new siblings. We are currently experiencing that here. Glad Dallin finally came to terms with naming him Devin. Our girls both wanted to name Sierra, Madison or Rachel (because Logan has friends in school with those names), and Autumn just copied what Logan said. Funny kids, is exactly right!

Matthew wanted Jacob to be Noah. He even told everyone at his preschool that the baby's name was Noah, so I got a few "Welcome Baby Noah!" cards. Oops.
