out of the mouth of Lincoln

A couple days ago I was sitting at our dining room table, when Lincoln walked past me, opened our sliding doors, and walked into the backyard. Before I could even turn around, he had pulled down his pants and started peeing! We don't live in the middle of nowhere, people! We are surrounded by neighbors on all sides. I asked him, "What are you doing?!" He replied, "I'M PEEING!"

 

There's a game on our ipad that Lincoln loves to play. So, when he drop kicked Rufus the other day he lost his ipad privileges. The next day when he asked to play with it I reminded him, "You can't play with it today because you hurt Rufus. Remember?" He said, "You need to obey or I'm going to call your mom." I told him, "I don't obey you. I obey God."  He growled and stomped off to his room. About a minute later, I heard him on his pretend phone, "Nini, you better get over here. Mommy needs a spankin'."

-The other day I was singing around the house and Lincoln told me I was a "happy little Christmas bell."

-My allergies have been out of control here lately. After I finished sneezing for the zillioneth time, our observant little Lincoln said, "Mommy, I think the sunlight is making you sick!" No buddy, the Spring is! haha

Our church decorated for Easter. There was a bunch of new plants by the big wooden cross in the foyer. I saw Lincoln standing there just staring and I assumed he was staring at the new plants. So I asked, "Do you like the new Easter decorations?" He said, "I'm sad ... that's where Jesus died." He pointed at the cross. I thought my heart might explode from the tenderness of the moment. And then he said, "He's happy now!" He made a crazy car noise and zoomed off  :-)

These last two photos of Lincoln crack me up! Lincoln's eyes are super sensitive. He is squinty even when it's cloudy outside. So you couldn't see his eyes in a lot of the photos today. After I took this photo I asked him if I could get a picture of his pretty eyes ...

 

 

I saw him start to open his eyes as wide as he could and I snapped the camera. Here's what I got ...

 

AMAZING! Even Lincoln was laughing his tooshie off at that one!

For those of you who remember Rufus, he is still alive! He has survived four years with Lincoln! I'm not gonna lie, it's been a rough four years on Rufus...but he made it! The poor little guy is going blind and he runs into something every day. But for being almost 10 years old, I think he's doing pretty good :-)
