This one cracks me up. Strict big sister Charlotte trying to get reluctant Caroline to be with her for a picture.
Giving up and smelling the leaves
Caroline smelling the leaves like big sister did
Chase has been SOOOOOOO defiant lately, not like that’s anything new but it seems more severe now that he’s 3. It seems like everything throughout the day is a battle, especially any meal time, changing clothes time, sleep time, clean-up time, or coming inside from being outside. Hm, that’s most of the time. So it’s good for me to write down his funny quotes, because he really is a witty little guy and I want to try to focus on the positive with him right now! I know that everyone thinks their kids are funny, but it’s probably because kids really ARE SO funny!
FEBRUARY:
— (holding a cookie): “He says he wants to get in my tummy NOW!”
— (smelling an empty container) “It smells like car mud, and car oil.”
— (we were playing pretend) Me: “What planet are we going to, Chase?” Chase: To Spanish Fork, to see American Idol!”
— “I’m spinning like a carousel!” (high-pitched voice)
— “You’re not my prophet!” (yelled angrily at me, I had to try not to laugh)
— Me: “Chase do you want to read the Fish Out of Water book?” Chase: “No, Daddy doesn’t like that book. We need to sell it to someone.”
— (to me) “Hi Wifeys!”
–“Legendary.” (he heard this word on Kung Fu Panda)
— (asking about my diamond earrings) “Are those real?”
MARCH:
— (walked in the door with Pace) “Thanks for vacuuming, WIFE!”
— Sorry, dear.
— (he was singing to himself in the car) Me: “Would you like me to turn on some music, Chase?” Chase: “No thanks, I already have some.” (and then he continued his singing)
— “WHOA the back of your hair is so beauty-ful!” (my hair was curly)
— “Ohp, silly me.” (he says this a lot)
— (we were making pancakes and he wanted a turn to stir) “Oh, you’re good, you’re good. Let ME stir.”
— Me: “Your body needs cream. It says ‘I need cream'” (<high-pitched) Chase: (looking down at his body, speaking in high-pitched voice): “No, you don’t need cream, body.” (Looking back at me) “I don’t need cream.”

December:
Chase: “I want to marry you, Mommy.” Me: “But you can’t because Daddy already married me.” Chase:
January:
I love a sleeping baby! She’s our best napper yet.
Caroline had just started nursery for the first time this day! The fun shades were part of a gift from Pace’s bosses when we first had Caroline.
We love it when it’s nice enough to play outside. Chase loves playing with friends more than anything in the world!! Pictured below is his friend Landon, who lives down the street.
Charlotte wanted to try on Chase’s old Anakin Skywalker mask. It is the weirdest mask, and makes me laugh out loud every time!
We love getting together on Sundays with the Skankeys and the other McCullochs.
This is classic Caroline right here: Sniffing the blankie and staring with her big eyes. (We started out with 5 binkies, and now we can only find 2. Probably time to cut her off from them soon…..)
