Kendall was playing with her American Girl doll, Mia, and talking to her, having a great conversation. Kyle started teasing Kendall, saying, "Why are you talking to her, she's not even real, she's a doll." Kendall is old enough to know Mia isn't real, but she played along, saying, "She is too real, and she's not listening to you." Kyle responded, "Of course, she's not listening, she doesn't have real ears!" Kendall laughed and said "Uh, uh, not listening, not listening," and Kyle said, "No real ears!" and this went back and forth a few times, getting louder and louder, with more and more laughing. Finally, Kendall said, "Well you love that thing (his cell phone) and it's not real." Kyle, thinking he has the last laugh, said, "But the difference is, I KNOW it isn't real," to which Kendall responded, "Yeah, well if it's not real, why are you always talking to it?"
Touche'
Then, last night (Christmas Eve), our family sang Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer as part of our pre-Christmas festivities, complete with the "echo" part. Near the end, the "echo" can vary, so I was pleasantly surprised when we sang, "Used to laugh and call him names," and all the kids echoed in unison, "like Pinnochio!" We kept singing through to the last line, "you'll go down in history," where the kids yelled out the names of all sorts of historical figures--"like Columbus, like George Washington, like Joseph Smith,"--all answers I expected. What I didn't expect was the name that burst forth from the lips of my 7 year old niece--Pink Floyd!!! Apparently, she don't need no education when it comes to classic rock. :)
Speaking of rock, my sweet 5-month old nephew provided us with some rock 'n' roll fashion and some Christmas entertainment while we opened presents.
Here we have the BOW-HAWK!!!
Then we move on to...
The BOW-FRO!!!
Having a baby around on Christmas really keeps things lively!
Ah yes, the Bow Fro. In my opinion, the greatest christmas hairdo ever. Wesley is so cute with it!
ReplyDeleteHahahahaha! The funnies are sooo funny! And we miss our baby! He looks amazing in his new do's. Wish we could have been there! Next year in Oregon (or bring the family here.)
ReplyDeleteKendal sounds like Elle! Both tough and cute younger sisters. After years of intense training they are able to throw a quick comeback at a moments notice!
ReplyDeleteI am definitely shaving my head and buying some bows. This looks much easier than what my hair puts me through every morning!
