What We Hear

So, the McDougle house is never quiet these days, except for those moments around 1-3pm in the afternoon when Canaan is getting some sleep! He is our little jabber jaws and we love it. He is always saying things that stun us and amaze us or make us laugh. I wish I could remember everything, but I am not always close enough to paper to write it down right away and forget. But, here is what we've heard recently. 

Mommy: Your Daddy, he is so sweet. He loves your Mommy very much!
Canaan: And Mommy loves Canaan!

Canaan (bending over): Mommy, you upside-down!

Canaan (when our tea kettle finished): Mommy, it done hotting!

Canaan (upon leaving David and Liv's apartement): Bye David! Bye Auntie! Call me David! Call me Auntie!

Canaan (driving in the car): Look! It the SUN! The sun so bright!- this might be more of a testimony to our weather and how much we've missed the sun recently!

Mommy (to Max): How are you doing, Max?
Canaan (to Mommy): He doing well. 
Daddy (to Mommy): And he even used correct grammar and everything!

Daddy (as we were walking to the store down the street): I don't think I was cut out to be a Daddy. I worry too much!

Canaan thinks that David and Auntie always go together and Rob/Denyce/Chi/Silas all go together. So, even when we pray, he corrects us if he thinks we've forgoten someone. The other night, Dougle was praying for Denyce, Chi and Silas as they are in the U.S. right now due to the illness and death of her grandfather (Rob stayed behind) and Canaan blurted in, "And ROB!"

On our trip to Kiev, we took the express train to Kiev (a 6 hour ride). We had seats that were facing the opposite direction of the way we were going. When we got on the train, Canaan couldn't wait for it to go. He kept saying, "Go!" Then, when we finally started, he exclaimed, "We go backward! Mommy, turn this train AROUND!" He said this over and over for about a minute and I was afraid his whole expreience might be ruined. But, he soon let it go and it didn't bother him that we were going backward anymore!

"out of the mouths of babes" :) You are wise to write the things he says down. Otherwise years down the road you won't be able to look back and laugh. :D
