Once upon a time in Macon & Cluny

 

Growing up too fast..

Ayden and Adamian are growing up so fast... Adamian will soon turn 5 years old and Ayden will turn 8 this year. I am already forgetting all the cute things they say but I managed to 'rescue' some of them from memory... here are some of the things that they say which are cute and funny because of certain contexts... I'm writing them all down here now so I can remind them about it when they grow up.

Ayden: It was not me, it was Adamian (and vice-versa)

Adamian would draw stick mans on A4 paper and cut them out and play with them. One time he created me, himself, Antoine and Ayden.

Ayden would say on Thursday night (the last week of school): Can I play games on your phone? It's the last day tomorrow at school and we literally won't be doing anything. Nice try :)

Adamian would put up the wafer sticks in Kiri vertically and say 'happy bday to me!'. So creative.

Ayden came up with the idea to make some fruit salad for Father's day. So thoughtful.

Adamian would say 'happy bird' when he meant 'angry bird'.

Ayden asked me: How come you're at the office when we're home? And you're home when we're at school? He's onto me.

Adamian one time brought me my toothpaste and toothbrush because it's night time and said it's time for me to brush my teeth. He was right.

Ayden and Adamian would literally run to me as soon as I arrive at the door, back home from work, to hug me. I hated the pandemic because I had to tell them I could not hug them until I showered and changed clothes.

Ayden is so strategic and good at the game Set de Familles.

Adamian pronounces Octopus with 'Royas'. He also pronounces his name 'Adanyan'.

Ayden asked me the other day when he was playing with Lego: Is there such a thing as a female robber?

Adamian would ask if I did the cooking. And if I said yes, he would say 'aww maman gentille!'.

The nicknames: DenDen and Nanong.

Ayden asked the other day: If blue fire is hotter than orange fire, then why is the sun orange rather than blue? Good question.

Adamian pouts his lips when he wants a kiss. So cute and funny.

Both of them would fight who gets to sit next to mama at dinner.

Adamian would say: Doudou!!

Ayden would say: It's normal (when he was very little).

Ayden cried so badly last time. He wasn't crying because of the cut he got from a hammer (don't ask how he got it). But he cried so badly because I put a unicorn bandaid on his knee and he didn't like it.
LOL

Ayden felt bad for doing a betise. He wrote on a post it note 'pardon mama'. I found it before going to bed, on my pillow. Awww..

When Ayden was little and if he didn't like something, he would pretend to use his fist and get 'mad'. Wa wa wa!

Adamian sometimes gets nightmares and I would hear him speak in his sleep 'No, no et no!'

Ayden learned to read before he could speak proper sentences. He knew all his alphabets (phonetic) by 8 months.

Adamian learned to climb up the stairs before he could walk.

Alhamdullillah, I am very grateful for these gifts of life...
