Dallin's Rendition of Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer

About half way through the song, we heard this:
"Then one soggy Christmas Eve... "

Wiping the Wrong Nose

Sunday afternoon, three of my children were in the kitchen with me. Emma (9), Aaron (7), and Jacob (2). I was holding something of a conversation with the older two when I noticed Jacob at the table with a runny nose. Instinctively, I went to get a bit of tissue paper on the other side of the kitchen from where I was standing. Then with tissue in hand, I went to wipe the first nose that I found available. It happen to be Aaron's. He let out a loud, "Oow! Dad, what are you doing?" Emma starting laughing out loud to which I came realize my folly.

Aaron probably would have been laughing too if wasn't his nose that got wiped.

Silly Leavitt Sayings

Dallin: (when taking turns with something, he had just finished his turn and it was now someone else's. In school, they are learning about patterns by calling them ABABAB patterns or ABBABB etc, well this is what he told Joseph when he wanted to have another turn right after he had one.) I think I should go again because sometimes the pattern is ABB. (Meaning the turn taking should go, Joseph, Dallin, Dallin, Joseph, Dallin, Dallin)

Joseph: (After I told him he was cute) I'm not cute, I'm Shadow(that's a name he likes to call himself sometimes.

Emma: We were reading scriptures and I guess Emma has internalized the language because when I was bugging her, she told me to "Shooeth".

Jacob: Whenever Jacob sees the cats he calls them "meow's".
