Gabe Tidbits

If I don't start writing some of these funny Gabe things down, I'm going to forget them...

Last night we got home late and Gabe was so tired he was loopy. All he could do is laugh hysterically. Bella was sitting in the middle of the floor and he was running in a circle around her, stopping in front of her, hitting her on the head wuth a balloon and laughing one of the deepest belly laughs I've heard from him, only to run around and do it again. I took a video and showed it to them and he laughed just as hard at himself in the video. I couldn't even make him go to bed because the laughing was so amazing.

-----

He had a pinecone in the car this morning and asked if he could "Frow pinecone high sky ceiling?"

-----

He's in the bathtub playing and he just said "Holy moly smoke!"

------

He's learning so much right now it's crazy. He's bringing up things that happened months ago like "Gabage tuck gabage can over!" (When the garbage truck knocked over the neighbor's garbage can around Christmas) and "Gampa Gammy Betsy!" (Grammy and Grandpa have a dog named Betsy that he played with a month ago). He's still concerned about not liking the snow machine.

He's also learning lots of songs at school. A few weeks ago he suddenly yelled "NO MORE MONKEYS JUMPING BED!" This week I got "2 monkeys jumping bed. Off bonk head. Mommy call doctor. Said. No no monkeys bed."

He also told Gram the entire story of the three little pigs.
Gabe: First little piggy house sticks.
Gram: And the second little piggy?
Gabe: Second little piggy house sticks.
Gram: What did the big bad wolf say?
Gabe: Lemme in! Lemme in!
Gram: Not by the hair...
Gabe: Chinny chin chin!
Gram: I'll huff...
Gabe: Puff! (Starts blowing)
Gram: and I'll
Gabe: Blow house down!

Seriously the kid is two...

-----

He can tell his left from his right. If you ask him which hand is his left hand, he points to his left hand.

-----

He is all boy. He now insists on picking up rocks to carry around. This morning he tried to pick a handful of dirt to carry to school.

-----

The other day he got out of the shower and he'd gotten my silicon face scrubber. He decided to use that to clean the shower for me while saying "I'm busy right now. I'm cleanin!" The he hopped out and gave me a hug. I asked if he was done and he said "I still workin!" And ran back to the shower.

-----

Today Gabe was in trouble for not listening. He was crying and snuggling and asked me to sing "Jesus God song." I started singing it and he said "Dance Monkey Dance."

Then I finished singing and he said "Sorry Mommy listen."

Seriously, the kid is hilarious. I'm so glad that he's part of our lives.

A Car Wash

Spring is finally here and it feels so good!! I mean, it still freezes overnight, which makes for sound very cold morning runs, but then it’s warm during the day. In fact, it was so warm, that Gabe wanted to run in the sprinkler. Pat had screwed the sprayer on so tight that I couldn’t get it off, which was the only reason he didn’t… Instead he decided to wash the car. I’m not going to say that the quality of the car wash was the best, but I will not complain about a kid wanting to wash my car. Yesterday there was a sports team doing a car wash fundraiser and I was going to take the car in, but Gabe was proud of his washing job, so we didn’t. I think my car is going to look like this for a while… Then we got dinner at the food trucks and headed home for a fire and s’mores.

A Very Cold Day

We had another round of ski lessons yesterday. Unfortunately, it was cold. Very, very cold. Realistically it was just the wind chill. We would have been fine skiing in the teens, but the wind knocked it down and extra 15 degrees and that was too much. Pat and I took our gear, but decided it was way too cold, so we hung out in the lodge waiting for the boys.  A half hour into the lesson, I got a call from a friend that works up there that Josy was in the office. He’d made it a half hour before deciding that it was too cold to ski. So he hung out in the lodge with us. Gabe made it the whole time and didn’t want to quit to come inside. But Pat told him no and as soon as he came in, he realized that his fingers and ties were numb.  We ate lunch and then headed home. Hopefully the weather will be more pleasant next weekend…

Utah/California: Day 3

This morning we went to IHOP for some pancakes. Gabe picked the Scary Pancake, which he thought was delicious. Josy, who is very excited to hang out with Bella, informed the waitress that “her name is Bella and she’s our lovely sister!” The waitress thought he was the cutest thing she’d ever seen. Then we made it way to Bryce Canyon. We stopped in Red Canyon got a photo stop (and bathroom break…). Then we got to Bryce Canyon, which was amazing!! We stopped at one of the random lookouts before hitting the amphitheater. We hiked from the Bryce lookout to Inspiration Point, which ended up being about 3.5 miles, round trip. The two big kids did great. Josy struggled. His legs were tired and he was in pain. But he struggled along and ended up with a few shoulder rides. At one point Pat told him that he was “the Little Engine that Could.” He said no, he was “the Big Engine that was sore.” Gabe found a lizard that he insisted on taking a picture of. Then we headed back to town and had dinner
