The Kimbers: Early Riser

Early Riser

Don't you wish you could be this alert in the morning?

One of our favorite moments with Lydia each day is when she wakes up in the morning. She can hear me coming in because our floor squeaks really bad and when she does, she starts kicking and smiling. She is a very happy riser. Sometimes she peeks her head up over her rail or she will grab her bumper pad and pull it down so she can peek through the bars. It always brings a smile.

Good Quotes

*We were all getting ready to go somewhere. The kids were ready but I wasn't so Lydia started singing a "get ready" song she made up. The following conversation ensued:

Lydia: See, Mom. That's what you say when your kids are ready but you aren't.

Me: Oh, so can I use that song when I'm ready and you aren't?

Lydia: Sigh. Mom, I know I have to explain this to you because I'm smarter than you are.

*Russell had a belly ache. He cried a little, lay back on me and said, "I want my baby out." Later the same day Chad sat down by him and Russell said, "It hurts. Baby kicking me."

*Russell patted my belly and asked, "Baby in there?" I told him yes, and then he kissed my belly.

*The other day Russell was playing with Chad's tape measure. He held it up to my butt and said, "Getting bigger!" I'd have felt better if he'd at least held it up to the baby bump.

*Russell will often say, "Guess what?" When we say, "What?" he says, "I a princess last night."

*Lydia was drawing unsupervised in the next room. I asked her to bring me her paper because I wanted to make sure she wasn't using my checkbook for her artist palette. She came in looking confused and then asked, "To see how pretty it is?"

*During Sacrament meeting, Chad was asking Lydia why we take the bread and water. He was hoping for a reply that included something about Jesus, but Lydia's response was, "Cause we're REALLY hungry!"

*When approaching an elevator, Lydia said, "Are we gonna ride in the alligator?!"

*When washing Lydia's behind in the bathtub she energetically said, "You're doing a good job back there!"

*Chad gave Lydia a playful swat on her behind. Lydia must have liked it cuz she excitedly cried, "Daddy! Hurt me again!"

*Lydia: "I want some chocolate so hard!"

*Without prelude or hesitation whatsoever, my grandpa said, "Brenna, are you having twins?" The nerve.

* The other day I just happened to be standing so Chad could see my full profile and he said, "I'm surprised you don't tip over."

* I was with my very stylish grandma who was wearing mint green capris, super cute wedge shoes, and a green leather purse. I said, "Grandma, you are so fashionable." She looked down and said, "Oh. It's just an accident."

* Chad had lay down in a slide while we were at the park with Lydia and said, "I could sleep here, if I were homeless."

* Lydia is learning adjectives. Yesterday she called me "black mommy" cuz I was wearing a black shirt, and "big mommy" cuz well, let's face it, I'm big.
