That little Austin

Four-year olds are funny.  They are old enough to really communicate and their little personalities are very apparent.  They don't throw as many fits and are really starting to figure things out.  Austin says such funny things.  They other day we were in the car and Austin had dropped his Jessie toy.  He kept saying, "Mom, mom, he is only the ground, get him!"  I said, "Austin, Jessie is a she."    In utter disbelief Austin yelped, really he yelped,  "Jessie is a sheep?!?!?!" 

Yesterday before church, I put Sydney's hair in sponge curlers.  The result was very Shirley Temple ringlet-like...in fact, it was waaaay curlier than I thought it would be.  It was cute, but a little crazy.  No time to try an change it, so I put a little clip in her hair and started herding children to the car.  Matt had just fixed Austin's hair and he caught Austin messing it up.  "Austin!  Why are you messing up your hair?"  "I am not messing it up, I am making it look ugly!"  "You don't want it to look ugly, you want to look nice for church."  Austin replied, "But Sydney's hair looks ugly!"

We laughed and laughed and laughed and we were glad that Sydney didn't know what we were laughing at.  He is at such a fun age.  He and Derek are playing nicely together....instead of terrorizing each other for a change.  I don't dare disturb them....
