Levi-isms
Age 3-4
- has a great fake, forced laugh (does it when everyone else is laughing at something)
- We saw a firetruck in the parking lot and he asked if we could look at it, so I drove by and let the boys look at each side. Levi was in awe and kept asking us if we saw “the platform?” He’s watched the Mighty Machines movie so many times he actually knows the correct wording for the parts.
- has been lying recently
- Asks for stories and songs every night. Mostly he wants a story about a mean pirate (or nice) and a mean or nice snake. He wants a song about that too.
- Sometimes when I tell him I love him he will say, I love everyone, dad, Wyatt, Luke and Penny.
- gives the best, tightest “sqeezes” (hugs)
- says “flushie” for slushie
- Loves watching the garbage truck come. Yells, “ Awesome!” He cheers and pumps his fist.
- We were at tithing settlement (Levi really wanted to come and loves it when he’s included in things the older boys do) and every time bishop asked Levi a question he would hold his hands out and shrug (like, “I don’t know”). He kept asking about the candy on the bishops desk.
- Levi is very confident in himself and his abilities. When we went to D-land in the summer (his first time) he acted like he’d been there before. Running up to the rides, no fear. We recently went to a firehouse to look at a firetruck and the firefighter asked Levi if he was going to drive the truck. Levi sat up in the driver seat fully expecting to drive the truck.
- Will talk to anyone and isn’t afraid to say what he thinks. We were eating out one day and a little girl came up to him and said hi and asked what his name was. Levi told her, “I don’t like you! Go away!”
- Has a hard time sharing. Especially his trucks at the park.
- LOVES watching movies. Will watch them all day long.
- Always wants to sit up front in the car so he can sit by and see Penny. If he can’t sit up front he wants me to fold the chair down so he can see her.
- Goes into Penny’s room after she’s woken up, gets in her bed and plays with her. I often hear them both laughing.
- Levi’s 2012 Christmas list: crane truck (pretty much any and all trucks, but he always mentions the crane truck).
- was playing legos/trucks with the boys and he named his truck (in all seriousness) “candy pants”
- tells me not to watch him when he’s trying to finish all of his dinner
- Is a big tease to Penny, but gives her the biggest hugs. He loves to carry her around (but it’s against the rules).
- We went to a play and towards the end Levi was getting impatient. An actor was dancing on the stage and very loudly Levi told him to get off!
- Repeats things (mostly in church during someone’s talk) he hears very loudly. Once while in line at a store the lady in front of us was telling the clerk her phone number and Levi repeated it word for word (he was 2).
- Has been saying he wants a crane truck for Christmas and then recently told me he doesn’t like crane trucks anymore, but he wants a tow truck.
- Has a blanket (that I believe was Wyatt’s, then Luke’s. One of the boys slept with silly putty and there’s now a brown stain where the putty used to be) that he loves and has to be holding the silly putty part in his hand by his face when he’s sucking his thumb.
- Sucks his thumb all the time now (and brings his blanket to church and preschool, which promotes more thumb sucking throughout the day) and so dad told him that he can only suck his thumb at bedtime. So now when I tell him to take his thumb out he tells me that he’s sleepy.
- rides a two wheel bike now and has gone mtn biking twice with the big boys
- can stand on his bike and ride with one hand
- loves to hide and be found (scares very easily once he’s found)
- has a dream light that shines stars (blue, orange, green) on the ceiling. It always has to be one blue
- fav songs right now, Santa Clause is coming to town (Justin Beiber) and Home (Phillip Phillips)
- prayed for Aunt Rachelle (who has cancer) almost every night that she would get better (he remembered on his own to pray for her)
- 4.8.13- Levi and Luke started swim lessons and Levi was so excited all day to go. He put his swim suit on in the morning even though class didn’t start till 1pm. At one point during the day he went out in to the garage and got the swim floaties, and water guns all ready. I reminded him that these were swim lessons, not swimming! Once we got to the lessons he had to wait 30 min for Luke’s class to be over. He was so excited for his class. He jumped right into the water and sat on the step. I was watching him as he then stepped down to the lower step (shallow end) and then jumped right off the step into the water. He started to dog paddle and looked very scared with huge eyes, because he couldn’t touch the bottom. Ms Allison saw him and helped him back to the step. He was shaken, but still did very well.
- One night while singing songs he cuddled up to me and said, “You’re nice, and soft!”
- watches Wreck it Ralph almost every day
- Told me he hated me the other day. I asked him if he knew what that meant and he didn’t, so I had to explain it to him. He told me he heard it on Wreck it Ralph. I guess he was just trying it out!
- Was looking at the pictures above Penny’s changing table and when he saw the one of my mom as a little girl he said, “Hey, that’s the little girl at church!” I asked him if she talked to him and he said no but that she was just happy! I asked him what she was doing and he said she was just singing. The hardest part about not having her here is that my kids don’t know her or get to interact with her, so I hope she has visited them.
