The Sorenson Family of Five: First time making jam

David Speaks

October 24, 2010
Scott and I had just had a little argument(it's all good) at lunch time today and David looked at us and said, "That's not nice. We need to use good manners talking." It was so cute, and the first time he's said something like that. I love this kid.

David came up from playing in the basement and said, "I hurt myself so I just had to say a prayer." That made my day! Glad he was listening when we taught him about prayer.

We had just finished eating dinner with Scott's parents and Grandma Sorenson asked David to take a dish to Grandpa in the kitchen. He came back and said, "No I gave it to my Father Daddy!"

Lately David has mourned his pee as he flushes it. Yeah. Today as he flushed he said very sadly, "Oh no my peepee!"

While David was blessing the food at lunch today he said ...bless... I will not go to time out..."

I was playing on the dock in McCall with David and Sydney, and Sydney started shaking from being cold and wet. I said, "Oh Sydney are you cold?" and David exclaims, "Sydney is shaking like a leaf!" I laughed and asked, "Where did you get that from?" David said, "From the leaf on the tree."

We were walking through the clothes section of the store today and as we passed a particular female section David exclaims, "Oh, pretty underwear!"

I was sitting at the computer doing some blogging and David was kind of hanging around me. At one point he said, " Mom, I want to talk to you." I was a little preoccupied but replied vaguely, "Um, what do you want to talk about?" He said very matter of factly, "Harry Potter!" haha, I burst out laughing. I guess my little Harry Potter obsession has rubber off on him! Can't wait til he can actually read them!

I call David Sweetheart or Sweetie all the time when I'm talking and he's picked up on it. The other day he liked something I did and he said in a very sweet voice, "Thank you Sweetie." And in Primary today he picked a flower, handed it to his teacher, and said "Here you go Sweetie." So cute!

David was playing with his xylophone while I was close by working in the kitchen. He said, "I wrote a song for you. It's a love song." He played a little more and then said, "That's for you!" I thought it was so cute and was replying very enthusiastically, but after several minutes of going through different versions of this I started to not respond quite as much as I was. David scolded me saying, "Smile, and thankyou!" meaning that's what he wanted me to do. Love him!

June 4, 2010
David was taking pictures of his siblings with the camera when he exclaimed "I'm taking two of my friends!" Me- "two of your friends?" Him- "Sydney and Parker!" while pointing to them.

May 21, 2010
We were talking about the difference between a banjo and a guitar and he says, "I want to play Julia's big bantar(guitar)." I said, "Yeah? I don't know how, I can't do it very well." And David says, "You're hands too big?"

May 8, 2010
I see David jumping from one side of the couch to the other with his mouth chomping open and shut. He says, "I'm jumping and eating those yucky stuff." He was talking about the dust particles floating around in the light of the window.

April 20, 2010
While in the bath David had some gas. Afterwards he exclaimed to Daddy, "My bottom have bubbles in it!"

Today the kids and I made easter eggs out of construction paper, but I was also talking to them about the Savior and how Easter is about more than the candy. I said enthusiastically "Do you know what's even more special than eggs?" David replies, "More eggs!" looking at me with his eye brows raised and his head cocked to the side. I kept talking about it to them and a few minutes later I said, "He came out of the tomb!" and David says matter of factly as he looks back down at his egg, "And he get all the eggs." lol. Gotta love three year olds minds!

After I was done vaccuming today Sydney noticed and wanted a sticker that was inside the vaccum canister. I told her it was icky now. Then David says, "I get it. I can swim in there?"

Feb. 21, 2010
"I getting bigger! I getting bigger! I turning into Daddy!" with a big smile on his face.

David saw a commercial with Jay Leno. His eyes lit up as he said, "Incrediboy!" That made me laugh!

Feb. 13, 2010
Scott gave David some grapefruit because he asked for it, but after a minute of trying it David said he didn't want it anymore. I said, "Are you sure you don't want it?" David says, "No! It's too spicy in my belly!"

Feb. 8, 2010
The last month he has been calling all of us "Honey" in a sweet concerned voice at random times. He says it just like me. And when he's leaning over Parker who's fussing a little bit he says, "It's ok Parker! It's just me. It's just me."

Jan. 3, 2010
David started running around in a circle saying, "My baby falling out. My baby falling out," while holding his tummy. Scott and I both started laughing. So funny. Then a minute later he said he had to go number 2, and he did.

Jan. 2, 2010
While cuddling with me and looking at my belly, he points at it and says, "Baby come out of your belly." pause "It will break." I asked him what would break and he said, "Your belly will break. Baby come out." lol!

If you read my last post than you know David got into my make up. Well this morning I was putting my make-up on and David saw me pull out my blush. He got excited and said, "I put that on my face, my forehead, my neck, and myyyyyyy side!"

Dec. 1, 2009
As David was sitting down for breakfast he saw the nativity we set up last night. He picks up one of the wise men and asks, "what's this?" I said it was a wise man. He says, "wise man" as he puts it down. Then he picks up another wise man and asks, "This a foolish man?" lol. (In our church there is a primary song called the wise man and the foolish man)

The kids had shut themselves in their room and so I went to check on them. I found David playing with one of his cars and Sydney playing with the other. David says, "Sydney playing with that green car!" I said, "Yeah, that's so nice of you to share David!" And he says, "Yaaaayy!! I share!!!"

Nov. 19, 2009
As I was decorating for David's party today David was very enthusiastic, and kept saying it was "so pretty." But at one point he exclaimed, "Wow, Mom! You are so very strong!" All I was doing was taping up some ribbon on the counter. haha

Nov. 16, 2009
I was telling David that one of his nursery friends would be at his birthday party and he got all excited and said, "My birthday cake! My candle! My birthday fire!!!"

Nov. 2, 2009
As a result of daylight savings I was telling David Mickey Mouse wasn't on for an hour and 10 minutes instead of 10 minutes. Instead of being dissapointed like I thought he'd be, David promptly said, "It's candy time!"

October 20, 2009
When we wake up each morning David asks, "Mickey Mouse on?" And every day I have been showing him the clock and where the big hand has to be for it to be on. Now instead of me saying it he answers himself saying, "See that big hand? All way up, all way down!" That's when there's an hour before it's on. He's not always right because we always get up at different times. But so cute!

October 11, 2009
David looked at Sydney who was all ready for church and said, "Sydney's so pretty! Daddy's pretty! David's so pretty!"

September 21, 2009
Me-"David you're going to have a little brother or sister! A boy, or a girl." David-"I want a girl!" Me-"Yeah? You don't want a little brother?" David-"No, I just want a sister."

September 16, 2009
David came up to me holding a glass of water, said "I get him a drink!" and proceeded to try to lift my shirt up off my belly. He thinks he can get to the baby through my belly button.

September 12, 2009
When talking to David about the baby in my tummy, he put his hands up to it and said, "I want to hold him."

August 25, 2009
After David went peepee on the toilet I was telling him how excited I was and he said, "I so smart!"

August 21, 2009
After I was finished doing David's hair for the day he skipped away, saying in a happy voice, "My hair's pretty!"

Driving home one night David is looking at the Temple on the hill and says, "Moroni's cold", in a concerned voice.

August 2, 2009
Driving through Snoqualmie pass to Seattle we see a huge, red setting sun. We point it out to David and he reaches out his hand towards it and says, "Hold it!" Meaning he wanted to hold it.

August 2, 2009
Also driving to Seattle David is eating grapes off the vine and I hear him saying, "Go back in there please!" I look back and he's trying to reattatch a grape to the vine that's been pulled off.

And it was freezer jam and so easy! I can't believe I waited this long. I had some on pancakes this morning and it was amazing.
David got to help push the button on Hilary's awesome cuisinart. He loved that. He also got to help pour in the sugar and mix a little bit.
