Ugh

This is Drake's new way of emphasizing he doesn't like or want something. It's usually a long drawn out Uggghhh like he is totally put out or annoyed. Where he did he get this? I wondered the same question because he started doing it over Thanksgiving break. But I found the answer....Me. Yep out of habit I have caught myself on numerous occasions saying the big Ugh. Ugh when I drop something, Ugh when I forget something, Ugh when I am frustrated...I guess I say it alot. Enough that Drake has caught on. It is quite humorous to hear him say it and he totally gets the concept of when to say it. I guess I need to be more conscious of what I say now!
It reminds me of when Maddie would want a snack and go pounding on the pantry door (this would happen multiple times a day...alot). I opened it up one day and she said "hmmmmm", like she was deciding what she should pick. I look down at her so surprised and then thinking back I realized that she was mimicking me. Every time I would open the pantry door for her I would say "Hmmmm, what would like to eat." So cute.
I tell ya these toddlers are alot smarter than their little bodies look!

So funny! It is so true that these kids are just smart as a whip! I am cracking up imagining Drake doing that! And I can picture Maddie doing the "hmmmmm...." thing just like mama! So cute.

Thinking of your family now and especially tomorrow as Maddie's 4th birthday is tomorrow. She is such a special and loved little girl and we wanted you to know how much we love her and you. Know our prayers are with you... miss you tons! The Sivleys
