Explaining to Heidi on FaceTime that after dentist appointments I hadn’t dropped him back off at school because kindergarten was already being dismissed at this point “And then mom took Chase and Hudson back to school but not me and THAT WAS RUDE!”
“But Davis, Kindergarten was already out by then.”
“I know. That’s why it was RUDE!”
Mom? Can I play on Dad’s phone?
What did dad say?
Well…he said no. But can I please play on his phone?
I bought a tree for our backyard one day while Davis was at school. It was sitting near the driveway in it’s pot, ready to plant. Davis took one look at it and said “Did this just grow here while I was at school?”
We were babysitting his friend whose mom is pregnant and that particular day she was at the hospital trying to turn her breech baby. Davis said, so matter of factly, “Yeah, my mom already went to the hospital and had our baby. It’s just Lila.”
Then later “Hey we both have a D and a A!” (His name is Daniel)
Also he said to me this morning, while discussing his excitement about our upcoming road trip, “Mom, this will be you and Lila’s first road trip! Me and my dad and my boys have been on a road trip before!” (Meaning their overnighted in Salt Lake over the summer). I love that he thinks I’ve never been on a road trip before! (Also, Lila has been on one, and Davis has been on multiple, although his overnighted in Salt Lake might be the last one he can remember, even if it really wasn’t a roadtrip!)
On our trip, Lila was so picky about which movies she would watch in the car. If it wasn’t one she wanted she would SCREAM and make it so the boys couldn’t hear the movie they wanted anyway. Davis really wanted to watch the Sonic movie, so he changed the words to a familiar Daniel Tiger song and was singing to her “Lila, You got to try new movies because they might be good! Go-ooo-oood!”
The day after we got home Davis was snuggling with me first thing in the morning when he said, “Mom, can I ask you a question? While we were on the road trip, was my whole class at school without me?” (He looked sincerely worried that might be the case. He was kind of happy and a little skeptical when I explained everyone had those days off school.)
While walking around the hot pots at Yellowstone and clearly pretending he was Spider-Man, “Hey, why didn’t you pack me a costume mom?!”
While waiting outside a restaurant a man passed walking a dog, whose name was Ollie. This delighted Davis since he has two friends named Ollie. As the man walked away, Davis yelled out, “Hey! I really like your dog!”
Overheard as Ben is reading Davis stories at bedtime,
Davis: That girl, I think her name is Peep.
Ben: It’s Bo-Peep
Davis: I’m pretty sure it’s just Peep.
After seeing the Lion King Broadway production Davis told everyone “My favorite part was when Mufasa died! That’s always my favorite part!” But when asked what his favorite song was, he’d loudly sing out “ahhhhh- zebenyaaaaaaaaaa!”
We took all the kids to “boo to the flu” at the school to get flu shots. Ben was across the empty gym with the kids, while I was finishing filling out forms. Ben was holding Davis, who was very, very nervous to get his shot. Davis said to the nurse “I’m only going to cry for a little bit!” The nurse replied that she didn’t think he’d cry at all and then did the shot super quickly. Davis looked up at me, from across the gym, with tears brimming in his eyes and a look of surprise and big smile on his face and said “I did it! On the first try!”
One day at lunch Davis was fighting with me that crackers definitely DO grow on trees and he was really made that we don’t have a cracker tree in our yard.
