He's saying (age 11, end of 5th grade):
Dude.
What's going on Mom?
What's up?
This is awkward.
I wish I had a bat cave.
Hey.
I love you Mom.
She's saying (age 4):
Somebody snuggle with me.
I want to watch something.
Who cares?
Simon. Simon. Simon.
Oh my gosh. (said very slowly and emphatically)
Shakin my booty.
Will somebody play with me? No one will play with me!
I love you Mommy.
OBSERVATIONS |I've had this post in progress for a few weeks after I put the one together about what I say. It was much easier for me to think of things that Anna says right now than Simon. I had to actively think about noticing and remembering what he's been saying. I think I need to print this one out so I can add to it. And in case you missed it I did a post a few weeks back about the words coming out of my mouth: Right Now | The Words.PS | You might see that photo a few more times in Project Life and likely in at least one layout and probably hanging on my wall at some point. Definitely my favorite capture from the weekend.

I always made a point of taking photos of my kids from behind, especially first day of school to capture the backpack of the time. I now teach preschool, and continue to observe, and occassionally photograph from this vantage point. What an awesome photo, deserves a place on the wall for certain.P.S. Just registered for the Hello Story class and am super excited.

Great photo! I love hearing about the interactions between your two. Mine are also 7 years apart, though right now they are 2 and 9. Fun to see what to expect :)

Love it!
I recently did the same thing with my 19-month old toddler as she's learning how to speak for my Project Life. And it wasn't just the usual words that she said, it was also the ones that I could make out while she was talking to me throughout the day. Love looking back and reflecting on that.

I recently came across a roofing company with warranty Burbank and was impressed by their professionalism—definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.Anyone looking for roof replacement or repair should consider this. https://bestwayroofingco.com/
