Funny Faces with Caso

I've been noticing our kids each have things they say and do a lot, that I want to write down or blog about so I'll remember. But I keep forgetting to do it. So now I have several to do at once, especially for Neely, since she's starting new things all the time.

She still asks people if they're okay. This morning we were watching a movie called Castle in the Sky, and this robot was hurt. She was all into the movie, intense and so worried about the robot. She kept making worried sounds and saying "Oh no." Then she kind of leaned forward toward the tv and said "Bobot, zee okay?" I think that's how she says "is he okay". Then she goes "Yeah?" Haha, so so cute.

She loves to tell us all "Hug" and then come give us one. Especially Paige and Cason lately.

AND she learned to say "Yo Gabba Gabba YOOOOOOOOOOO" when she wants us to put it on. She says it more like "Yo GyaGya YOOOOOOOOO". They were giving high fives in one episode, so she learned to say that too. "I FIE!" I'll be feeding her and she'll stop nursing to tell me "I FIE", give me a high five, and then go back to eating. Haha.

She seems to pick up a new word nearly every day. About a week ago she said "Coco" several times while he was here for help with math. Then a few days ago Tyra was with us, and much to her delight Neely learned to say "Teetee".

Her own new favorite is "mine" for any time her siblings try and take anything from her.

And one that made me laugh was "I don't know" She kind of said it like it was one long word. Paige asked Cason something and Neely was listening and said "Idonknooooow" in her sweet voice.

As for Cason, his thing lately is asking me if things exist. "Mama, does Spiderman exist?" or "Mama, does Plex exist?"

And Paige likes to say "Speaking of which". AND she says it really fast: "Speakin'o'which". I realized I say it a lot, so I guess that's where she gets it. But she hardly ever uses it correctly. She just uses it to switch topics. Like during a movie, Jess left the room for a minute, and Cason said something to Paige about an exciting scene in the movie. Paige goes "Yeah, and speakin'o'which, where's daddy?"

She's gone on her first sleepover (outside of with family) at someone else's house. Her friend Maysen was having a birthday sleepover tonight, and Paige has been counting down the days and hours since she was invited. She looked super sweet when I dropped her off, with her gift, her backpack, and Hoppy.
A little while ago I realized we hadn't brought her epipen when I dropped her off. So I ran it over (They're like 2 houses away). Paige was shy and didn't really greet me at first, but after a minute she came up and wrapped her arms around my legs, and kept saying "My mommy" while looking at the other girls. So sweet, she was showing me off. I don't expect that to last long, so I was really pumped that she's proud of me for now.

Jess is playing flag football with the MCC team, so he had practice this afternoon. We went after dropping Paige off, so the other two could play at the playground while Jess practiced. Neely fell asleep on the way, so Cason and I hung out in the car until she woke up to go play. While we waited I asked Cason to take some pictures with me. I got one or two like this:
and then he got bored, so while I posed for real he started doing stuff like this:
He thought he was hilarious when I showed this one to him. He was laughing so hard. So I decided we should do funny faces since he loved it so much.

First we just said "Do a weird face"
But then he had plenty of ideas. Chipmunk teeth.
Puffy cheeks.
Elephant noses. I asked how that's done and he told me we pull on our noses and stretch them out.
One of these of course:
Fish lips. They're hard for him.
Scrunchy faces.
And of course his favorite-crossing our eyes.
I've never made him happier.
