L I S A B E T!

Last night, we were at the grocery store picking up ice cream. I was cruising up and down the freezer aisle looking for a specific flavor (birthday cake) and Esteban had wandered off into the wine section with the kids. All of a sudden, I could swear I heard Jayden say my name. I turned and looked but Esteban didn't seem to have any type of reaction. Was I hearing things? I asked him if he heard Jayden say my name, but he wasn't sure so I left it along and kept on.

All of a sudden, clear as day, I hear Jayden yelling down the aisle. What? "L I S A B E T!" Jayden, my name is mommy, ok. Ok he said.

This morning, I was getting ready in the bathroom and Jayden came in to see if I was done.

Jayden: Lisabet, wedy?
Me: What's my name?
Jayden: My name is Jayden.
Me: Ok. What's my name?
Jayden: Mommy.
Me: Ok. Good. My name is Mommy.
Jayden: My name is Jayden.

What a character! Now, it's thank you Lisabet, it's ok Lisabet, don't worry Lisabet etc. I don't correct him every single time, but we have the above mentioned conversation every 2 or 3 times. Is this a phase? When will it stop?

Afternoon Play Date

We had my girlfriend, Maria, and the kids over for some afternoon summer fun. Here's Maria's grandbaby, Leila. She's just a tad bit older than Maya, by a couple of months or so.

Here I am in the pool with Leila. Jayden is hogging up all the cups and Devonte was brushing my hair.

They were afraid of the ball at first, but quickly got over it.

They had fun with this thing! They were trying to catch the water with their mouths.

Jayden is such a big boy now.

Devonte is so big for his age. Hard to believe he's just 4. Well, he's almost 5, but he's tall! Just like his mom and dad.

After playing in the water, they went to the swings. Finally, someone big enough to push Jayden on the swings. Thanks Devonte! You're welcome to come over anytime! LOL
