Our little guys still aren't saying a whole lot in terms of actual words, but sometimes what they do these days speaks louder than words.
Take today, for instance. We had just gotten back from taking Connor to meet Grandma and Grandpa for their trip to the mountains. Josh asked me to write a business check he'd forgotten to do (Friday is pay day around here), so I was in the office.
Xander comes walking up to one of the baby gates that keeps the kids out of the office, and he's saying his token word of the moment "Goo-ud!" (translated good).
Okay, honey, not now. Mommy's busy. That's what I was thinking, until I happened to glance over and see what he was holding in his two little hands, just below the gate and out of direct eye contact. He looked at the item he was holding, then looked up at me and grinned that mischievous little smile that is only his.
"Goo-ud!" he offered again.
Yes, baby, ice cream is good. Thank you for bringing that to Mommy. Let's just put that back until later, okay. You know, after we've actually had lunch perhaps?
You see, the twins newest trick is to open and close our bottom drawer freezer on our refrigerator. They have both long loved the oven, where they have only to pull on the door and the light comes on. Sawyer will stand here for a long time opening and closing the door, if you will let him. But the freezer is even better, apparently, because the light comes on AND cold air comes out. And now they've progressed to actually bringing me things from the freezer, apparently. Good things, at least.
Just another day in the life . . .
