Summer fun at Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey

We were at the US Airways Center in Phoenix to see Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey. Wednesday night to see their show Built to Amaze. It was so fun. My youngest who is 18 months kept dancing excitedly and calling the elephants "moos" which is what he calls cows. We all had fun and it was a great way to spend the evening as a family. Here are some pics of the night. I stole the top one from my sister who was there with us. If you want to go, get your tickets fast. See my last post here for show info and a coupon code.

Leighton Language

June 24, 2009- Mom, you see those mountains? I'm gonna climb them. You want to climb them with me?
Me: Right now we need are going to the movies. We can't climb the mountains.
Leighton: I want to climb the mountains. You're big. You have to climb them with me.

June 22, 2009- Dad, I need my hat. It's windying.

May 2, 2009- In the bathtub, he said to his first toe, "This little piggy went to the market."
To the second, "This little piggy stayed home."
To the third and fourth, "This little piggy stayed home, and this little piggy stayed home.
To the last, "And this piggy went wee wee wee all the way home."

March 30, 2009- Leighton was sitting in front of the laptop. I said, "Leighton, what are you doing?" He said, "I'm just checking my amail."

A few minutes later he came around the island in the kitchen and said, "Momma, I'm gonna get married, and I'm gonna go see whales." He is a little confused because my sister is getting married in San Diego, and we have been talking about going to Sea World while we are there. I think he thinks whales are somehow related to getting married.

March 12, 2009- Leighton started crying in his bed early this morning. I ran to him and asked him what was wrong. He said, holding his sock, "I miss my sock on."

March 12, 2009- "I went to basketball game. I clapped the white team. I can't clap the red team." He was remembering the game he went to on his birthday a month and a half ago. Jonathan was trying to encourage him to cheer for the right team.

March 11, 2009- Leighton, upon waking up, said, "I want Daddy." I said, "He's at work, baby." Leighton, "I want to cook dinner." Leighton thinks that Daddy just comes home because we cook dinner. I had to explain to him that Daddy couldn't come home yet.

February 23, 2009- "Mom, will you hold my hands and dance with me...to the music?"

February 19, 2009- After offering Savannah some of his biscuit and honey, I said, "Savannah can't have that yet." (Referring to the honey) Leighton's reply, "Girls don't eat biscuits." (I have celiac disease and can't have wheat, so in a way this is a true statement in our house.)

Later that day I asked Leighton to get me a tissue for Savannah's nose. He said, "Girls get tissues. And girls wear hairbows at Walmart." Even as a two year old he is taking notes about the opposite sex.

January 31, 2009--Leighton: "I want to go to a football player." Me: "You mean you want to be a football player when you grow up." Leighton: "No, I can't. I'm gonna be a man. And have babies." Me: "You are going to have babies after you grow up and get married?" Leighton: "Yep, I'm gonna get married."

December 12, 2008- Leighton: "I want medicine." Me: "You don't need medicine, so you can't have any." Leighton: "I want to need medicine."

December 6, 2008-"I'm gonna go say a prayer," as Leighton darted into our downstairs bathroom. On the weekends Jonathan and I are usually awakened by children, so Jonathan ends up saying his morning prayer downstairs in the bathroom because it is the only place to get away from the chaos. Leighton always tries to be just like his daddy.

October 27, 2008- As Jonathan was giving a lesson to Leighton at Family Home Evening about our Savior, Jesus Christ, Leighton, who is recently obsessed with scaring people, poked at the picture we were showing him and said, "I scare you, Jesus." We couldn't keep our composure.

October 26, 2008- Leighton, after grunting several times, said, "I poop, Momma. It's stuck," followed by several more grunts.

September 26, 2008
Leighton, who recently discovered the concept of "2", realized he had two parents, but that he didn't know the collective term for parents. "Two, momma, daddy, two."
