(cough-cough) "i just have an original one". <br /><br />lucy is full of energy despite her coughs and talks about herself in 3rd person, saying things like, "baby gee do it". or "baby gee's turn". oh yes, she has named herself baby gee. it's her alter-ego diva. <br /><br />ammon is getting bigger and doing new things all the time. he learned how to ride his bike with out training wheels in just a few minutes and he thinks he can teach lucy how to do it now. a couple of weeks ago nick taught him about pearl jam. we were in the car and this conversation took place:<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">nick:</span> "ammon, who sings this song?"<br /><span style="font-size:130%;">ammon: </span>"pearl jam"<br /><span style="font-size:130%;">nick:</span> "who is the lead singer?"<br /><span style="font-size:130%;">ammon:</span> "eddie vedder"<br /><span style="font-size:130%;">nick:</span> "who is the lead guitarist?"<br /><span style="font-size:130%;">ammon:</span> "mike mccreedy"<br /><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" >me:</span> "ammon, can you say your abc's?"<br /><span style="font-size:130%;">ammon:</span> ".... no...."<br /><br />yeah. so i thought that might be a problem. i had been working on them with him and he just didn't seem interested. he would always sing: "a b c d e f g... w x y z." but after practicing while going through a corn maze with aunt jessica and bridget, he finally got it! and now he sings his abc's all the time. i love it!<br /><br />nick has also taught him a lot about michael jackson. he LOVES all the music / videos. he says his favorite michael jackson songs are "thriller" and "smooth criminal" but he sings to "billie jean", "bad", and a few others as well. <br /><br />nick took him to go see "this is it" and before they left ammon found a red blazer with gold buttons in his closet. (a hand me down from his cousin). he put it on and INSISTED on wearing it to the movie. he thought it was the perfect jacket to wear to a michael jackson movie and nick couldn't convince him otherwise. i was trying so hard to keep the laughter in but it was so funny watching nick and ammon fight about the jacket. ammon was SURE that it was the perfect michael jackson jacket and nick was SURE that he didn't want ammon to wear it out in public with him.<br /><br />lucy LOVES the color pink. we were at the store the other day and she didn't have her volume control on. everytime we passed anything pink she yelled out, "PINK!!!" like, "oh-my-gosh-mom-did-you-just-see-that!" kind of like she had just discovered something AMAZING. and she did it over, and over, and over again. finally i got her volume in check and things were okay after that. <br /><br />she loves to tell me the color of things. we saw a horse outside (another thing she really loves) and got a bit excited. i asked her what it's name was and she said, "a black one". so everything is color oriented now. she loves playing with ammon and giving hugs and kisses. when she knows she is in trouble for doing something naughty, she comes up to me and says, "a hug mommy" and "i love you". kind of hard to be mad after that...<br /><br />okay, next post will have some pictures...mom of a super-herohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07230168799320187558noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371557056965581722.post-40368406795282084022009-07-16T09:38:00.000-07:002009-07-16T09:54:44.877-07:004th of July<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIkbZ6HvVnKiv9a89tuHvhgVMXQwMwm6MNkkQ577_HXUAqgFNJHeLsDc8RRzVZX_Lx7jkaT-NBkYcX8SQEW-NP5u0hm4caCU5ZYpKKthXD2mQvWmkUHBjRsURjejNO6H1SdQaddFdNbBU/s1600-h/DSC01520.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

KIDS EAT FREE!! so on our solo night from nick i took the kids down to the restaurant for dinner. they had also given me a coupon for the restaurant so i think i paid $10 WITH tip for dinner for all 4 of us! and the kids LOVED it, the meals are very kid friendly and they all got ice cream for dessert and a cute cup to take home! i also received a complement(?) from a stranger while we were eating. he came up and told me his wife thought i was very brave (for taking all 3 kids to dinner by myself).</span></div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:georgia;">they gave me another coupon the next day so off to the restaurant again for breakfast! and i have to say, the grown up food was pretty good too! i got a smoked salmon omelet, very seattle-y. that night the whole family went to the mariners game (nick's family too). it was great to be in a real baseball stadium again and fun to see griffey play. lucy loved the music and she got a certificate for her first mariners game. and the best part?
