Dress-up

These are picture of Gove playing dress-up with some outgrown clothes. Was he supposed to be doing this? Why no, of course not! The boys were playing in Max's room and were very quiet, so Nolan got up to check on him. He got to the door and it was locked - not a good sign. He unlocked the door and as soon as he opened it, Gove shoved it shut! He pushed it open and started yelling for me to come take a look at what they were doing. I got there and Max's room was completely covered in the old clothes I had packed away. I couldn't help but laugh when I looked at Gove and Max and saw that they were sitting in the middle of the clothes trying on as many as they could. After we let them play and took some picture, they were punished by having to sit in the crib and watch us clean up. They actually were miserable! After we took his picture, Gove told me that these clothes fit him now, so we needed to put them in his drawer!




I keep meaning to write down a few other funny things the Gove has said, so here goes:

One day we were talking about babies and he said, "Mama, I want 2 babies, no 3 babies, no 4 babies!" I said, "Okay, I think you'll need to talk to your wife about that someday." He persisted, "Mama! I want 4 babies." I countered, "Okay, tell your wife." He said, exasperated, "Mama, you are my wife!"

Gove: "Mama, remember a long time ago when I was a tiny baby and I lived in your belly?"
Me: "Yes, Gove I remember that."
Gove: "Then you went to the doctor and he got me out of your belly. I climbed up, up, up and out of your mouth!"
Me: "Is that how it happened?"

Gove: "Mama, when I grow up I am going to have 3 babies."
Me: "You are. What will you name them?"
Gove: "I'll name them Owen, Reagan and Karson." Then getting funny little smirk on his face, "Then Karson will have three dads - Ryan, Jay and Govie!"
(This one was so funny because Gove thought he was so clever in figuring out a way to be Karson's dad.)

Karson: "My mama's getting married to Ryan and he's gonna be my dad."
Gove: "I know. That means Ryan is going to be my uncle."
Karson: (very upset and yelling) "Yeah well he's gonna live with me!"
(Karson now lives with his mom, his grandma and his uncle, so the idea of Ryan becoming Gove's uncle evoked a great deal of jealousy!)
