Food Fight!

As I was making one of my all time favorite dinners tonight, (my sister Jessica's Chicken Tater Tot Casserole, just had to throw that in there, lol) Brandon came into the kitchen and started to be a little smart alick to me. I was washing my hands and I warned him to stop or he would be sorry. Of course, Brandon being the man he is, continued to be a smart alick. So since my hands were still wet, I flug a handful of water at him. He just kind of stood there, mouth open, a little stunned that I had done that, so I did it again and just started lightly laughing. Brandon goes into the bathroom, Jayden following him of course, and grabs a cup of water. As hes walking back into the kitchen I tell him he better not throw that whole cup at me since I hadnt thrown a whole cup at him. So he sprinkles me like I had him. 

Cue Jayden ... he walks into the kitchen, with his own cup of water, and threw it towards Brandon. Mostly the floor got the water, but Brandon's back side got a good amount of it too. I started laughing *SO* hard while Brandon just stood there, mouth open, not moving.

A few minutes later, Brandon was still continuing with his smart alikeness. I of course, wasnt appreciating it too much so I told him to stop. He continues. I tell him that he obviously didnt learn the lesson the first time and he would get another lesson if he didnt stop. What does he do? Continues to be a smart alike. Since at the time I was using a spatula to finish spreading the soup part of the meal into the dish, I flipped off the excess off, and turned towards Brandon. He didnt take the hint, so I flung what was left on the spatula onto Brandon. Again, with the shocked look on his face, more exaggerated this time though, he just stood there. I started laughing again. He leans over, grabs what he can out of the bowl that was left, and flung it at me. I couldnt believe it. Of course, as I'm getting what I can out of the bowl with the spatula, Brandon goes running into the bathroom and locks the door. I walked out of the kitchen to try and catch him anyways, but of course didnt catch him. Jay comes running out a few seconds behind me with his hands outstretched but I didnt think much of it. A few minutes later Brandon comes walking into the kitchen.


Cue Jayden ... he walks into the kitchen behind Brandon, and slathers the soup mix that was on his hands all over the back of Brandon's leg. And then he started to evily giggle.


I was laughing *so* hard. I could hardly believe it. Now I dunno about Brandon's side of the family, But I do know my family is known to have water fights and food fights in the house, and even at the dinner table (and yes, I can think of at least one water fight that was initiated by my mother, lol) so I guess Jay does take after his moms side of the family after all ;) :)

Such A Smarty Pants!

Jay is SUCH a smarty! It seriously amazes me how smart our little 2 year old boy is :) For example:

Jay asked me for juice the other day. He already had a sippy cup out from a previous drink a little while ago so I told him to go get it. He came back and told me he couldnt find it and then proceeded to walk into the kitchen. I quickly whipped out my phone and turned on the camera just to catch his next couple moves. Granted, I also had to hold him back while the camera loaded, but I knew this was something I had to catch and share. Just watch for yourself:

Also, the other day we were driving down some of the back roads through the fields near our house. There are more tractors here in Germany then I honestly think I have seen anywhere - and Jay is very good at pointing ALL of them out. So we were driving down the road and I hear "Mommy! Tractor! Tractor!" I reply with "Yes, I see! How awesome!". A few minutes later I hear "Nother tractor mommy! Tractor!" and again I reply with "Ooooh, yeah! Another one!". Few seconds later he points out another one, "Tractor! Tractor!". "Yup! Look at that! You are so good at finding tractors Jay!". And then, all of a sudden I hear "Tree mommy! Tree tractors!" ... Translation: "THREE mommy! THREE tractors!" I was stunned! I whipped my head around and looked at him and said "what did you just say!?" And he replied "Tree!". I couldnt believe it! All our counting of cars and fish and toes and fingers was finally starting to pay off! I was SO happy!


On the counting note, we were watching "The Blind Side" the other night. If you havent seen that movie you should, its AMAZING. I honestly LOVE it! Anyways, theres a part in the movie where Mrs Touhy (Sandra Bullock) askes Big Mike to tell her everything about him. And when he wont, she says "Ok, just tell me one thing Big Mike. Just one thing about yourself". Jay is sitting on the couch, and looks at me and holds up one finger and says "one thing mommy, one thing. One." Again, I was shocked. SO STINKING SMART!


He is definitely gonna be something else when he grows up, that is for sure!
