Hailey was really upset one morning this week b/c I accidentally hit the button on her owl and it wasn't green anymore. She cried for 15 minutes (only one of which I paid her any attention b/c I have TWO kids to get dressed and ready for preschool). Matt was up on the stool to have his teeth brushed and the following ensued:
M: Hailey, why you cwyin?
H: Because my owl's not Gween anymore...
M: Don't be sad (touches her face). I'll be nice to you.
H: (confused look b/c he's touching her nicely)
M: Your owl will be gween again later on and den you can be happy, otay?
H: (nodding) Okay...I love you.
M: I love you too.
(bends down to hug her...tantrum over)
At the end of naps the other day, Matt calls down to tell me that his owl is green and can he get out of bed. I tell him yes, but I guess in the process we woke Her Majesty from her slumber. She starts crying like she's scared and before I can even make it up the stairs, the following ensues:
M: (jumps out of bed, opens his door, runs to her door, opens her door, and kneels down beside her)
H: Waaaahhhhh...
M: (stroking her back) It's otay...you're otay. I love you...you might have had a bad dream.
Both were checking out the Fisher-Price catalog...the following ensued:
H: I want dis from Santa.
M: Sorry, but I don't think he can fit dat in his sweigh...
H: Oh, okay, den I don't want it.
These are pretty typical throughout the day:
- "Haiwey, dis is what makes me weally weally mad."
- "How many times do I hafta tell you about dis?"
- "Mooommm...I need some help wit dis."
- "I'm afwaid that Haiwey won't get pwesents because she's being so loud at naptime."
He's cracking me up folks, seriously...
Check him out from last Christmas...the cuteness kills me. When did he get so BIG!?!

What a little sweetheart!
He is wise beyond his years, isn't he? She needs her brother!
This is just the sweetest. My little boy is like that with his sister, too. I love it. :)
What a good brother. Send me the link for the owl, wouldya? I know it's on your blog somewhere but I'm too damn lazy to find it.
Kids, they are a riot. Thanks for sharing.
This is one of the sweetest blog posts I have ever read. EVER!
That is just precious!!
omg. this is so funny!! i'm on a conference call while reading this and found myself laughing out loud!! :)
good ole matt!
Aww, such a sweet boy! : )
What a sweetheart.
The twin interaction is just amazing to me, on so many levels.
Today, B had a blanket, tucking her sister into their little couch, along with her doll. She was taking her job so seriously!
I just love it...although it makes me kinda wish I had a sissy of my own. ;)
And I wanted to say, too, Good Job, Mom and Dad! Those kiddos get that love and caring from you guys!
So, so sweet!! Absolutely love those moments!!!
I just love overhearing cuteness. Matt is going to be a great brother.
Awwww, he's so sweet! Even though he can terrorize his twin sister at times, he obviously has a soft spot for her in his heart.
Did I tell you that Cole recently told me he wanted to "break up" with Bella? She had done something to him at school that irritated him and he was just so over her that day.
The highs and lows of twinhood.
Matt is repeating EVERYTHING you say - I can just hear you say these things to the two of them.
Too darn sweet!
And yes, they are getting so big, it's scary.
how sweet is he?
toddler conversations make me happy!
Too cute lol
Are these things you do that he's catching up on? Wait no, you're not that nice ;)
