Lincoln

I know it’s been FOREVER since I posted. The holidays were crazy around here and life is just crazy…but so good! I have sooooo much I would love to write about so before my brain explodes I will hopefully get back into my blogging groove. Until then, I’ll leave you with some things Mr. Linc has been saying lately that, as his Mom, I think are worth remembering and sharing. Enjoy 🙂

“Bye Mom. We’re going to a man place.”

“I not a baby…I a BIG man!”

“I love cats, and elephants, and my Mom…and tigers!”

“You are nice and cozy!”

“I hiding from you…cause I’m pooping.” (yes I realize that this may be a sign that he’s ready for potty-training. Yay me.)

“I can’t get in my bed because there’s lots of spiders in my bed and they will crawl on me…so I will just wait to get in bed until you come and squish them.” (that’s one of the more creative excuses I’ve heard to not go to bed.)

“Hmmmm…let’s think about me for a minute.”

“Alright Captain Hook!” (I’m not sure where he got this but it cracks me up when he says it to me)

While rocking him one night he said, “When I a big man, I’ll hold you Mom.”

Me: “Hey Linc, do you know where my tape is?” Linc: “Maybe a spider ate it or somethin.”

“Thank You God for movie. And thank You for supper. And thank You for train track.”

“That’s what boys do…we make messes and play with toys…and everyting (typo intended). And we take baths.”

We were talking about his allergies in the car one day and Linc said, “I’m not allergic to you Mom!” (no my sweet boy, you’re not)

Me: “What are you doing Lincoln?” Linc: “I’m just throwing things in the fire. Just for fun.” (oh boy.)

My very first combined Ava-isms and Lincoln-isms post. I know. I just blew your mind. Enjoy 🙂

Lincoln-isms:

“I want a dwink a moke.” (translation = I want a drink of milk)

“I don’t want sun-scream on…I jus want to fim.” (translation = I don’t want sunscreen on. I just want to swim.)

“I luffs you Mom. I need a hug. I need a macker! I like you eyes.” (macker = smacker = kiss)

“O-wa is so nice!” (O-wa = Ava)

“That’s weird” (his comment for about every animal at the zoo)

“My cheeks are blue! My cheeks are green! They’re weird!”

Ava-isms:

“Could you go away from me Mom and just let me do my business.”

“I was playing outside and all of a sudden the bugs were just killing me! I don’t know why! They are such a bother.”

“I have a very bad case of sickness and pain and sin and ummm…coldness. But it’s really not that bad…”

“You’re the biggest Momma on earth!” (She totally meant this as a compliment…gee, thanks Ava.)

“He’s a creepy little guy.” (her comment for about every animal at the zoo)

“When I looked up at the sky it made me think about God and the Holy Spirit and then I realized we have a mess in our hearts and…I need to clean my room tomorrow don’t I Mom?”

“Hey Mom! What’s your favorite color?” Me: “Ummm…blue.” Ava: “Really! Green is my favorite color too!” Me: “I said blue not green sweetie.” Ava: ( giggle giggle!)

“But my Dad always used to let me do that!” (I was actually impressed by her trying this one. It didn’t work. But it was still impressive.)

“I need to keep this for my collection. I really need to get a collection don’t I.”

“That’s a shame!”

“Hey Mom! Things are surrounded by God’s will.”

“God looks kinda different. He looks like fire.”

Me: “Ava, stop leaning on me.” Ava: “But you’re so comfortable!”

“My heart is beating. ‘Cause the blood is pumping out.”

“God’s Word is pure.”

“I want to be like you Mom! You have earrings and you drive…”

“Well, you’re just a silly little Jessica!”

While reading the story of David and Goliath I asked the question “Who do you think would win in a fight between a big scary huge giant and a little boy?” Ava replied without hesitation: “Jesus!”
