Winston

"what are you talking about?!"

No more naps. :( (5.2012)

Fell off his bike and scrapes his knee. (6.2.12)

First roller coaster: dragon coaster at St. Monica carnival (6.1.12)

Mealtime still a challenge.

Always has to say the prayer.

7.6.12 I was making my bed and Winston was wearing my boots and pretending to be Woody. I asked, "Hey Woody, would you come help me make my bed?" He walked out of the closet and said, "Woodys don't make beds. Cowboys don't make beds."

7.5.12
"what do you want to be when you grow up?"
W: Putting his finger to his nose and really thinking about it says, "Um...big. With all of my family."

8.15.12
Can the angel come and take my tooth and leave me a surprise like a toothbrush?

9.21.12
We were kneeling down for prayer tonight and W volunteered to say it. He started, "God is g..." like his prayer at school. Knowing something didn't sound right, he looked up somewhat confused and clearly blank and sincerely says, "Um, I don't know how to start it."

9.2012
"I love you to the airplanes and back."

"Oopsie-doozie"

Lizzie was having a hard time going to be and had been upset for some time. On his own, W went into L's room and sang "I am a Child of God" to her. Minutes later she was quiet and went to sleep.

10.25.12
W: Can I have a dollar?
Sheshe: Why do you need a dollar?
W: So I can go on a mission! I don't have enough yet.
Sheshe: Where do you want to go on a mission?
W: Ummm, maybe to MaMom and Poppy's house.

10.26.12
I had a really hard day. I had been crying for some time. W wasn't sure what was going on, but he said, "But mom, we love you!" Later that day he told me I was a beautiful princess (I was dressed like a witch). Sweet boy!


1.2.2013
(Joke)
W: what do astronauts eat?
Me: I don't know. What?
W: Christmas lights!

Mom, does it make you sad that I'm four now? 3.12.13

I say with Sunbeams during sharing time today. W sang the "I like to look for rainbows" song to my belly so the baby could hear. 9.8.2013

I asked W if he thought the baby would have a rubber nose like him and daddy or a nose like me and Lizzie. He said a rubber nose like he and daddy. Then he pushed on my belly and said, "I feel it right there. That's his rubber nose right there." 9.16.13

I don't want to get married. I just want to stay with mommy and daddy and Henry forever. 10.5.13

Wore a tie to stake conf today. Before we left: "do you think anybody will recognize me with my tie on?" 3.23.14

W: "Then AnnaLeah's going to get married soon?"
I then explained that it takes some time to find someone you love.
W: "Well I already know who I'm going to marry. Sadie (Lake). Or Briana (friend from school). I really like them."
