Coming Right Up!

We always put lots of pictures on here, and we've heard that a picture is worth a thousand words. Tonight, though, we have to share some of the words that you can't put in a picture. :)

One of our new favorite toys (as posted below) is our play kitchen! We put shoe laces in pans and call them noodles and constantly bring anybody who is in the vicinity cups and plates and bowls of food and drinks. Some of our specialties are dumplings, hot cocoa, and tea. We like to bring cups to everyone and say, "Cuppa tea!" Mommy thinks we are ready to go work for Martin and Patrice! One of our new phrases is, "Coming right up!" We like to surprise Mommy and Daddy with things that we know like that. It's especially funny when they can't figure out where we learned those sayings. :)

Mommy decided the other day that we are really smart. We were fighting over a toy (not the smart thing) and she told us, "Somebody needs to go play in the kitchen or Daddy is going to take that away." My (Jonathan) innocent answer was, "Daddy go play in the kitchen!"

We love playing outside, but it's been rainy so we've been stuck indoors. One of our new toys is an outdoor slide that is inside because of the weather. Mommy asked me (Jonathan) if I liked it. I told her no. Mommy asked what we should do with it, and I told her we should take it outside! She saw right through my plan, but I think I almost had her!

We don't get time-outs very often, but sometime Daddy and Mommy make us do them. Once in a while they'll give us an option of doing what they say or having a time-out. Sometimes we just choose time-out. What's even more confusing for Daddy and Mommy is when we give ourselves time-outs. Every so often we'll just go and sit in the corner and wait for them. I (Josiah) prefer to offer up suggestions for when my brother needs a time-out. Daddy and Mommy don't generally take my advice (yet)...

Well, it's late and we should be in bed. Mommy and Daddy don't like it when we sneak into the den and get on the computer. We tried sending some of their files via e-mail once. We've also tried getting information from Ford. They're amazed at our intelligence. Just wait til they see what we really have in store for them!

Love,
J and J

One more thing that we forgot to add last night...

We love to eat! At the end of our meal we always ask for dessert - sometimes at the beginning, too. :) Mommy always gives us options for dessert. Lately it's been oranges (cuties), cookies, or ice cream. She always expects us to say ice cream, so we always choose Oranges! We love our fruit! The newest thing is to ask for more dessert after we've had our first dessert. Sometimes we just go down the line...after we eat our fruit we ask for cookies. If that doesn't work we ask for ice cream. If that doesn't work we ask for a bowl (to put the ice cream in). Eventually we'll get what we want, right?!
