I have been meaning to post for over a week, but everything has been in Vietnamese on my blogspot page - so frustrating! I've been taking random guesses and clicking on things, but all to no avail. Christian set me straight again last night, so here goes.
I love the things kids say. Here are a couple things within the past week that have amused me...
Xander: "Daddy I want play in dirt with you"
Daddy: "I would love that"
Xander: "Where [is the] dirt?"
Daddy: "I love my little boy."
We live in a concrete jungle. However, we are thinking of putting a sandpit on our balcony. We saw some friends do it and we think it would be perfect on the 3rd floor balcony because it has an overhang, and therefore, precious shade from the sun!

Emma: "Why do I have so many pieces of broccoli?"
Dad: "You have 6 pieces because you are 6 years old."
Emma: "Then mom should eat 100!"
Dad: Chuckling "Why is that?"
Emma: "Because mom is more than 100 years old."
Mom: Sitting at table, mouth full of broccoli "Wow! That's insightful"

Xander has a new way of expressing gratitude. He has been saying it for the past couple weeks to me and Christian at random times. We'll be playing cars, walking down the street, eating lunch or whatever and he'll say: "Mommy, you're so cute." I love my little guy's compliment.

Emma was home sick yesterday and we decided to walk around and run some errands together with Xander. On the way back home, she said: "I really think that you and dad made a good choice. I mean, you're the bestest parents I've ever had. I really mean it." I asked her what good choice she thought we had made. She answered: "I mean that you chose each other to get married." I thought that was really sweet and again insightful to her more-than-100-year-old mother.
