Are you a doggie? No. I'm Asmund. I'm tired of walking.

Me want to look at the toys. That is what me is talking about!

Asmund believes that snow means it's Christmas, so when it snowed on the 22nd, he woke up saying, "It's Christmas!" I said, "No, it's not." He said, "Look!" pointing out the window.

Dec 28th: Me think Santa leave presents again.

These tiny little things with chocolate in them. They called M and M's.

The Power of Dolphins

Asmund was upset about something, crying, and Wystan brought him his stuffed dolphin Dolphy. It was sweet!

Things to help mommy with

Asmund is monitoring Carrie's water intake. He said, "Water will fix baby." He started feeling around Carrie's belly and said he was fixing her baby from when Wystan jumped on her belly. He said he needed bandaids and she had to drink lots of water.

From Carrie:

Asmund and Wystan started blowing raspberries on my belly this morning. Asmund said, "Your baby likes this. This tickles your baby". :)

 

Asmund: My daddy gave it to me last night tomorrow!

Carrie: When is last night tomorrow?

Asmund: This week!

 

According to Asmund, Bella is Wystan's favorite baby. Bella is the big tiniest. S-N-O-E-S.

 

Asmund said to watch his move. An elf. Jumping off the couch. Like elves in Arthur Christmas.

 

The game we like playing: Asmund and Wystan are elves, I am a "rarr-rarr" (bear), and they attack me.

Tents and mommy

Carrie stuck her head into the boys' tent to see Wystan. He smiled at her, then pointed and insisted, "Go, go!"

"It's mine day! It's mine day!" Asmund on his fourth birthday.

"That ho-ho-ho movie. Let me show you let me show you. Ghosts of Christmas!" Asmund: on the Looney Tunes version of Christmas Carol

"A spaceship like a bird. Lots of wings and guns. A big ship bird movie." Asmund, talking about building a ship with Lego Duplos.

"Mama. Mama." Wystan getting my attention.

Recent things

Asmund: You are my favorite daddy! We watch movies, we going to park, we eat, and doing dishes!

Asmund said, Me love my bones in my body. Me love my bones all my life!

From Carrie:

Just caught Asmund trying to "rope" the window unit down the stairs. "Rope"= pull it to the edge by the cord and use that momentum to send it downstairs. Oh my.

Today's bit of sweetness: Dennis left for Newton about an hour ago. Two minutes after he left, Asmund decided we should go on a walk. We set out, the boys barefoot and wielding swords, and within half a block I realize why Asmund wants to go, "We catch Daddy! Daddy this way." I tried to explain that we couldn't catch daddy, "We go faster. Run faster faster faster!!!" When I told him we couldn't outrun a car, "Hum...go to Daddy's office." I tried to explain that daddy wasn't in his office tonight, but after thirty minues of walk, just lured him home with promises of Looney Tunes.

Asmund just informed me that his name is Asmundor. He said Dennis gave him the name.

Asmund and Wystan have been up since 4 and are still going strong. Wy is playing with dice and A is booby trapping the living room with dental floss.

Asmund said, “You have one baby in your tummy.”

Asmund is racing from one end of the block to the other, the long way. At the beginning, I say, “One, two, three, go,” and at the end he jumps up and down shouting, “We win! We win!”

When Asmund asked me for water, Wystan walked into the kitchen and brought back out a glass of water for him.
