Oh man, Asher says a LOT of funny things these days! Here are some phrases and conversations that have been going on lately.
"What did you say?" - about 1/2 of the time I am talking to anyone, this pops out of his mouth.
After getting in our bed at 7am, he says "Had a good sleep." Then, he rests for 15-20 minutes, rolls over to papa and says "Can I hold papa's iPhone please?"
Lately, Asher talks most rapidly while going potty - just sentence after sentence... it's super funny and super cute...here's a short snip-it from this afternoon:
mom - "Did you have fun with papa and Brendan?"
Asher - "Went bowling! Papa had a green ball. Brendan had an orange ball. They throw them. I picked one up, it was REALLY HEAVY."
He sings: "Ring round rosy, pocket posy, Ashers, Ashers, all fall down!"
While running out of his room naked from the waist down, Mark asks "Asher, what are you doing?"
Asher - "Changing my pants. They're too short. I get new ones out."
Lately, we've been working on some pronunciation, not because I'm crazy about everything being perfect, we just tried it a little and found that Ash could actually say things better with a teensy bit of repetition... so, this conversation started.
Asher, repeating - "scary, scared" (both with the correct S-C combo instead of the usual "gary" or "gared" version of the words.)
Papa - "Asher, that's so good, you're getting really good at saying those words."
Asher - "I been workin' on my L's. Really good job?!"
Asher (in a very high voice) to Cole when Cole was crying in his high chair: "It's okay Coley. You're fine. Stop crying, you'll be alright."
This afternoon, Asher headed downstairs with Grandma A. for a bit. He looks at the Christmas tree and says "Hey, there's another red present by the Christmas tree!" And he was right! That kid has a crazy memory for stuff... just like mama :)
Asher to Cole tonight at Thai Country while looking at the fish, with a super high voice, while touching Cole on the shoulder and with a very high-pitched emphasis on the word little - "See Coley, that's a big fish and that's a little fish. And see the elephant. It's so cool!"
And lastly, we've also been working on manners, mainly, learning how to politely ask for things. So now, anytime we say "How do you ask nicely?" he replies, "Can you... " it can be something he wants, something he wants you do get or do... it almost always starts with "Can you" even when it should be "can I" and it is ALWAYS said in a super high pitched voice! Hilarious!
Being around Asher every day is such a joy! Especially now that he's gotten back into the habit of staying in his bed all night... I thought I was going to go crazy if I had to take him to bed at 12 am, 2am, and 4am for many more nights. Lately, he is observing EVERYTHING we see and telling us all about it. He asks about opening our Christmas presents almost every day and LOVES to see Snowman anywhere - yards, pictures, clothing... you name it! So friends take note, if you want Asher to say hi to you (he's incredibly shy) just wear some type of piece of clothing with a snowman or some other type of adorable thing! It works like a charm!
Oh, and something totally random... if you want to get a great tricep workout, try using a paper-cutter (the home scrapbooking kind, not the big lever kind) to cut out 3 different pieces of paper for 150 invitations. I haven't done all the math yet, but it's anywhere from 5-7 slices for every 2 pieces of paper, and there is a total of 450 pieces of paper... my triceps are going to HURT tomorrow. All for my baby sister Tracy. Love in action, baby! ;)
