Some of the funny things that Austen says:
He rides his bike around our kitchen island like a race car and just zips around the corners like nothin. He says..."bye mom!" I say, "where are you going?" He says, "China!" But he pronounces it like "Chi-na." He does the same thing at the park when he finds a wheel he can "drive." Just recently he will say he is going to his office. He just makes me smile.
He sings primary songs all the time and this afternoon he turned all of my nativity characters around so they were all facing him, and he sang "Jesus Wants me for a Sunbeam" to them. When he was done he told me they were clapping. HAHA.
He is convinced that there in a lion in by our staircase. He always has to have the door shut, which I would rather have it shut anyways, but as we go up or down the stairs, he says, hurry mom, the lion is coming. And he runs by the stairs into his room or into the kitchen before the lion comes. lol.
A couple of weeks ago Austen came up into our room before we woke up and he said, "Mom, wake up! Dark time is over, it's time to get up!"
And lately he has started copying what people say. He sings Jingle Bells and then he says that Mason sings it like, "Jingle Biells" with his Chinese accent. It is so funny! And so of course he keeps saying it. He also said last night at dinner that Teresa, our office manager, says "Hi-ya" when he coughs. So when he coughs he always finishes with "hi-ya". So silly!
