summer is coming to an end...

It's summer and I haven't made time to blog. I don't even know what to say these days. The kids say something hilariously funny every day - I can't even remember half the stuff they say. We're laughing alot around here. Sad summer is almost over - the hubby and I have to go back to work. Oliver is starting kinder in August and every time I think about it, I cry. Can't believe he's almost 5. Why does it go so fast? I know he'll do well and surely make his teacher laugh as much as we do. Leni will miss her big brother - they are so close. I'm trying to enjoy every last minute before mid-August and hopefully we'll have some great memories.

2 going on 16...

Leni, my 2 year old daughter, is anything but a typical 2 year old. Her language and vocabulary is, to say the least, A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. I can say that because I have a soon-to-be 5 year old boy who talked alot (and still does), but you never could understand one thing he was saying. She's been talking for a long time now and we're astonished everyday by the things she says. She already knows her colors and shapes, and has for awhile...although that's not what I'm talking about when I say she amazes us. She's 2 going on 16 - this is what she told me the other day...

"Mommy, stop bothering me. I no like you."

Uhhhh. What? Her words can already cut your heart like a teenager would do. I wasn't sure whether or not I should laugh or cry. Everyone keeps saying, "Wait till she's 16." I don't think we have that long. It's more like, "Wait till she's 4." Maybe we'll get lucky and she'll be a quite teenager. Maybe?
