Mikey has thrown up several times over the last couple days. Not something he normally does. Well tonight, as he was about to go to bed, he was saying his prayers, which went something like this:
“Dear Heavenly Father, please bless that we can have a good night sleep and that we can get up in the morning, and that I won’t throw up. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.”
I thought it was very sweet and cute.

Mikey and Josh are just about over their colds, but we decided that we were going to keep them home from Church one more Sunday, just to make sure. Trying to be a good Daddy & Husband, I told SWMBO that I would stay home with the boys and she could go to Church. This morning, SWMBO announced that we should all stay home from Church (she was tired). I waited about 2-minutes and then told her that if she was going to stay home, I’d go to Church and she could stay home with the boys. She very quickly said she would go to Church. So, the best way to motivate Wife to go to Church is to tell her she would have to stay home with the boys… interesting.

Last night, I was talking to Mikey before we read scriptures. I said “Mikey who do I love? Do I love M-I-K-E-Y C-O-X?” Mikey said “Yes.” Then I asked him, “Mikey, who do you love?” He said “I love M-O-M-M-Y.” “Who else do you love?” “I love J-O-S-H?”. “Who else do you love?” Mikey’s response was “Ummm…. how do you spell Tinkerbell?”
(Tinkerbell is Aunt Michelle’s dog)

Amanda & I were commenting about how smart Mikey is during dinner. I asked Amanda if she thought Josh would be as smart as Mikey or smarter. Mikey then said what sounded like “Dumb”. Amanda & I looked at each other and started laughing. What Mikey actually said is “Yum”. His dinner was good, but he said it at just the right moment…

Mikey likes to play with flashlights. As a result, most of our flashlights have dead batteries. Tonight, I changed the AA batteries in one flashlight, so he could play with it. About an hour later, he wanted to type on my laptop. We didn’t have the charger with us in the room we were in and, after a little while, the laptop battery died. I told Mikey that the battery was dead and that I would have to go plug it in. He disappeared and, a few minutes later, handed me a pack of AA batteries!

Last night, I went to give my 2 1/2 year old Mikey a bath before bed. I said to him. “Bath-time Mikey! Let’s go take a b-a-t-h. Do you know what that spells?” And he said “Bath!”. Neither the Wife nor I have ever told Mikey how to spell bath. We were quite amazed!
I’ve talked before about how Mikey likes to type on our computers in Notepad. He now types M-I-K-E-Y everytime he typing on the computer, along with just random characters.
He’s also decided that he is, in fact S-M-A-R-T, although I don’t think he quite knows what that is yet.

When I got home from work tonight, I said to Mikey “D-A-D-D-Y loves Mikey.” Mikey looked at me and said “No, M-I-K-E-Y loves Daddy.” How did my 2 1/2 year old get to be so smart?

We were at the store yesterday (Saturday, 29 June 08) and we were getting Mikey a toy that, with a coupon we had, was going to make the toy free. There was another toy right next to it that Mikey wanted. It was $50.00 or so. He asked me if we could get it. I told him something along the lines of “Mikey, we don’t have enough money to buy that right now. If you want us to get it, Daddy is going have to work more. Do you want Daddy to work more or do you want Daddy to stay home more and play with you?” Mikey thought about it for a second and then said “Stay home and play with me.”
