Reminiscing

Tonight while the kids were in the bathtub, John asked me "Do you remember when I was born?" What a question. How could a mom ever forget when her child arrived? Anyway, I said "Of course." He smiled and said "Do you remember when I walked for the first time?" I told him "Yes. And I can show you a video after your bath." He also asked me "What was my first word?" I told him "You said 'Mama' and then 'Dada' and then 'Dunc.'" He laughed. "Why didn't I say Duncan?" I explains that when you are little it is hard to pronounce words. He laughed again, like as if that could never happen.

After bathtime we warched some of his old videos. He laughed as little John attempted to walk across the basement. There was one video of John driving his little quad and he kept pulling his feet up. I told John that when he was little he didn't like the grass. He didn't believe me, but he still laughed at little John avoiding the grass. He asked me some more questions and we watched the videos a couple more times. I really enjoyed reminiscing with my little man. 

Too much FaceTime

Yesterday we called Mimi for her birthday. We had Daddy's phone on speaker so Mimi could hear both of the kids. John talked first and then Gillian got a turn. She said "Happy Birthday! Look at my kitty!" And she took the phone and pointed it at her shirt. She was trying to show Mimi the kitten on her t-shirt. This is not the first time Gillian has done something like this. Daddy and I think it is because she is used to using our phones to do FaceTime. So anytime she is on the phone she thinks the other person can see her. She has done this to Grandma too, asking her "Can you see me?" Another time, Gillian was watching videos of Winston and Jaxx on Aunt Missy's phone. She kept yelling at the dogs as if they could hear her.
