Favorite Sayings

Here are a few things Beckett says frequently that we love:

-Hold you? (When he wants to be held or to cuddle)
-No, thanks! (In response to anything he doesn't want to do. e.g.; Beckett, please put your book away. No thanks!)
-I've got Mommy's iPad (accompanied by ornery grin)! (To alert me that he has my iPad and plans to get on PBS Kids without asking.)
-Let's sing Lion King songs!
-Beckett James Hild (anytime someone asks him, "what's your name?)
-Yep. 'Bout cows and cheetahs (his daily morning response when asked if he had any dreams the night before)
-I don't like it. It's too spicy!
-Run like a Deere! (On repeat, while running around the island)
-What's happening? (After spinning in circles)
-See ya later, Mommy. Going to work in Sullivan. In my office. (While walking toward door)
-I NEED some. (When told no about candy/pop/tea/cookies/etc)
-I love you.

Birdhouse Building

On Wednesday, Beckett and Papa found some scrap wood and decided to build a bird feeder. Thy had lots of fun and we ended up trying to paint it later that day. When it's finished, we'll put it next to the two birdhouses Beckett has made this spring.

Banker

We went to the bank today to open Beckett's Kid's Account. He has really been enjoying putting change in his piggy banks from his MeeMaws, and they were getting pretty full! First, we sorted the pennies, nickels, dines, and quarters, and then we took them to the bank. He got o dump the change into the change counter, which he loved, and then we met with Joyce to open his account. He was so patient and good, asking lots of questions and exploring the bank while we waited. It was a fun adventure!

Transplanting

Shonn and Beckett transplanted their growing crops yesterday when the weather was so nice. B was more Interested in fertilizing the grass with the potting soil. :)

Hopper in my Pocket

Beckett cleaned our his hopper farm on Friday. He found a couple of them in a very deep "sleep" and inspected them closely. Then he told me "gonna put 'em in my pocket" and he did! It was hilarious. We ended up putting them in the wood chips, where they could rest peacefully. :)

Meeting Papa Hild

Harper got to snuggle with Papa Hild today. She was very content in his arms and only made a few kitten noises the whole time he was here.

Beckett also showed Papa his growing crops!

Noodles with Mee Maw

Beckett and Janis made homemade noodles "worms and snakes" today. Beckett wanted to cut them "all by myself" and thy even rolled some into dumplings for soup. Delicious and fun!
