It's been way too long since I've written down (or blogged) any of the funny things Declan has said or done. Of course since I didn't write them down right away I can only remember a few of them....
- Driving in the car one day Declan said he wanted to have 16 kids. I asked him why 16 and he said so that he could have a really big house.
- Just today we were doing that ink a bink a bottle of ink game I remember from when I was little. After a couple of turns Declan wanted to say the words but instead of ink a bink he said "oink a stink"
- Also today...we were discussing things that start with the letter G for him to take to show and tell at preschool. He was set on taking a golf club until I told him Grammy, Grandma, and Granny all start with G. He had to call up his Grammy right away and tell her he wanted to take her to show and tell.
- He loves to tell jokes. His favorite is this Knock-Knock joke. Knock-knock, who's there? Banana. Banana who? Knock Knock. Who's there? Banana. (Repeat a few times and then...) Knock Knock. Who's there? Orange. Orange who? Orange you glad I didn't say banana. We go back and forth telling this one and every time he busts a gut laughing- it's really cute!
This little boy always keeps things interesting around our house. He wakes up at 6:30 every morning without fail regardless of when he went to bed. (No joke, on a few rare occasions he was up until midnight and still was awake at 6:30!) He talks all day long. He has even talked himself to sleep recently. Sometimes when I am visiting with a friend I don't even get to visit because Declan talks the whole time. Even though he is talkative and busy at home he is a whole different kid at church and school. He is so quiet.
I am so grateful for Declan. I am so grateful for his sense of humor and his overall happiness. He brings me so much joy (and I think I've been taking that for granted) and he keeps me smiling.
I love you Declan.
