Kid Tales

  

At the playground Ruth called to Sam saying, "Gideon!" 

Sam called back and said, "Ruth, I am Sam. I am Sam-u-el. You know, the one who can talk."

I was telling Sam that Eliza did not use a pacifier anymore and that he was the only one left in the family with a pacifier. I asked him if he thought he should get rid of it since he is older. I suggested that he get rid of it when he turns six on his birthday. He replied, "How about never. I really like my pacifier."

Sam has been bribing or threatening people and it's kind of funny. At one point, he came up to Kate with his hand over his eyes and he said, "If you won't make me Swiss Miss, I will never let you see my blue eyes again." He also threatened John with no more foot rubs.

Gideon came up to John and touched his eyes and asked if they were his eyes. Then he touched his nose, and asked are these your eyes and John said yes. Then he put both his hands over his mouth and said is this your mouth and John said yes. Then he touched his forehead and asked the same question, and then his hair and asked the same. At last, Gideon touched John's Batman symbol on his shirt and asked, "Is this your Batman?" Gideon then patted his chest with his Batman shirt on and proudly said, "This is my Batman!"

Eliza has been fake coughing a lot. Sometimes she will fake cough if you ask her if she is sick or feeling alright, but mostly she will fake cough and laugh if you fake cough with her. 

Susan told John that she thought his full name was Thomas Wesley Robertson after his teddy bear that he named Thomas Thom.
