Funny quotes/stories

1. So today I was talking to the boys about how Derek is eating so much and he's going to catch up to Joseph! Joseph had to let us all know that Derek might get bigger than him, but he will ALWAYS be older! Then we got into the discussion about how all my siblings are taller than me, even the ones that I am older than and they chastised me for not eating enough when I was young and I tried to explain to them that I ate a lot, but just didn't get tall. 2. Joseph claims he can speak "baby". He's always translating for Grant and telling me what to say in "baby" when I want him to say milk, or other words Grant refuses to say. The other night he told everyone that his name had a "d" in it. We asked him to explain and he explained that in "baby" his name is "Doodah" so that means his name has a D in it! 3. Derek is obsessed with learning everything about everything and his latest obsession is science, specifically the human body. I have been reading him this book and we had just learned about the digestive system, so now he's always telling everyone (including guests we had over for dinner) to chew their food really good so they don't get a tummy ache! 4. Derek also got ants in the mail this week for his ant farm and he has been SOOO proud of his hard working ants! It's hard to keep up with boy! 5. We found out some good news this week from Aunt Katie. She finally has a baby in her tummy! When I told be boys they were jumping and shouting for joy (even Grant) and that night Derek said the prayer and of course blessed Aunt Sheri on her mission and that mommy would get a baby in her tummy. After he finished, right away he said, "I didn't have to pray for Aunt Katie to get a baby in her tummy because she already has one!" 6. So Derek has always been against any nicknames we give him, but we finally found one that he likes and it's "Derek Dependable" It's a perfect name for him and he's proud of it. So tonight we decided to give the other boys nicknames and we came up with "Joseph Courageous" and "King Grant" and Joseph named me "Nurse Mom" or "The Mad Scientists' helper" We are still working on Wayne's name.
