Funny Gabriel Day...

In and amongst my crazy day of painting, lots of emailing, house work, and taking care of the kiddos, Gabriel had a few quotes that were quite humorous.

#1 As we were eating breakfast this morning Gabriel informs me,

"Michael doesn't understand me. That's what babies do, they get bigger and understand people."

So profound for a nearly four-year-old.

#2 Then while we were deciding about what to have for dinner. Gabriel decides that he would like to have cinnamon waffles for dinner. I said that sounded very good and cheesy scrambled eggs and vanilla yogurt would go really well with that, and Gabriel completely agreed. He says with much enthusiasm,

"Oooo...this is going to be the best dinner ever!"

#3 Then tonight as I was tucking him into bed I leaned over and gave him a hug. He quickly pulled back and exclaimed,

"Oooo, Mommy, you stink! Go take a bath!"

I explained to him that I had some more painting to do, but I would do that right away as soon as I was done. I leaned in for one more hug and once again...

"Mommy, no! You stink!"

So I settled for a kiss instead. I completely agreed with the kid though...Its nice to know that he wouldn't let me get away with being stinky!


So, my son is 3 going on 14! How quickly they grow up and how fun it is to watch it happen.

We are so excited for Daddy to be coming home in about a month and a half! He can then, finally, experience his two precious sons.

We love you Daddy! Come home safe and soon!
