[Two year old] Danielle calls Joshua (her brother), "Boy." She calls Caleb by his name and David by his name, but she calls Joshua, "Boy."

When she'd be in the other room with her brothers we'd hear her start fussing, so we'd go in and tell them, "Boys, leave your sister alone." We figured out it must have been Joshua who was bugging her so she thought his name was "Boy."

One time when we were kids my cousin spent the night with us. In the morning when my Mom was making breakfast she asked him, "Aaron how do you eat your eggs?"

"Wif my teef," he said.

...I was talking to Ben this week. He asked me if he was older and I said he wouldn't have a birthday until March, then he would be 5. Well, what I found out was that he meant he was getting older every day. So I was telling him that every day your body is a day older until finally you get to your birthday. He asked how old Abigail was and I told him that she was born one day but she hasn't had her first birthday yet, but we talked about every day she was getting older. He said, "Do her eyes have a birthday?"
