KJ & Nafe updates

Some stories about KJ that I'd never want to forget. Since he started speech therapy his vocabulary and confidence in speaking has grown tremendously! Lately he's been telling me stories that I never want to forget... Here one of them:

The other day we had dinner at Brick Oven where he received a balloon. As we were running errands we walked out of Ross where his balloon got loose and flew away. With much effort of trying to grab onto it before it was unreachable but with the combination of the wind and the helium in the balloon it flew away. KJ's clearly upset of the lost of his balloon started to have a melt down in the parking lot. I tried to explain to him that now his balloon was on it's way to heaven to his cousin Naimah to play with. It took him a minute to realize what I was saying but finally calmed down. Not even 5 minutes later as we were driving home we had a conversation that went something like this...

Kj- "Mom I want Heavenly Father to come pick me up!"

Me- "Why do you want him to come get you?"

 "Because I'm done with this place! Can I have your phone so I can call him to come get me?"

 "Kj Heavenly Father doesn't have a phone but you can talk to him anytime you want through prayer."

 "Okay mom." Dear Heavenly Father please come pick me up, I am done with this place! Amen "Mom if I leave will you miss me?"

 "Yes Kj I will miss you lots and lots if you leave."

 "Okay mom I guess I'll stay here because you'll miss me and I know dad and Nafe will miss me too!"

Hahah I love this kid! He seriously cracks me up! I want to try and write these cute funny stories in a journal, it just seems to take too much time to sit down and hand write when I know I can type a lot faster. 

More funny/cute stories to come! :)  

Nafe is now 14 months old and is walking EVERYWHERE! I can't believe how fast he has grown. The fun things he's doing:

~Walking everywhere.. he tries to run but is still trying to figure that part out
~Eating everything... I mean everything! At this rate I'm pretty sure he will not be a picky eater like his older brother
~Wearing 18mo-2T clothing... he has a long torso and somewhat short legs... yup he gets this from the Lavaki side :)
~ Is bossy bossy... just like his mom ;)
~ Is wanting to be independent in everything
~LOVES the water... bath time he get's all excited and would practically jump into the water fully clothed if I'd let him
~Would rather be outside regardless of the weather... the minute the front door opens he drops everything and darts straight for the door
~Goes to senior nursery with me (since it's my calling I get to take him with me)... he holds his ground pretty well there with the older kids
~Top and bottom 4 teeth are in... I believe his molars are coming soon
~Eats lotion... I don't know why but if he sees lotion he wants to eat it... Should I be worried?
~  Loves watching Curious George with his brother
~LOVES HIS BROTHER KJ- he follows him everywhere... Kj's little shadow
