The other day we were standing on the guest room balcony, and of course my little monkeys were attempting to climb up on the railing to get a better view over. I, being the wonderful mother that I am, showed them how to get a better foothold and perch precariously on the top, enjoying the view...no, no, no! Had you there for a minute, didn't I? No, of course I told them how dangerous it was and how they would smash on the porch below and probably die. Or at least get hurt a whole LOT and have to go to the doctor and get (gasp!) a needle in their arm. That's the worst scenario for them. Needles in the arm. The whole dying thing...I mean, they know that they'll go be with Jesus and still be HAPPY, so I try to balance that with how sad their mommy and daddy and whichever twin is left will be, and how they themselves won't see the rest of us for a while and would probably miss us...so sometimes I find that tricky. I want them to NOT want to die but I want them to know it's not a horrible thing that is looming in the future, you know?
Anyway...sweet Nuala. The faith of a child. Unprovoked, she started talking about how "Jesus might come down out of the sky and catch me! And Him give me to you!" It was so cute, seeing how she truly believed that could happen. Which it could, of course. So then I had to get her to say it again, so I could video it and share it with y'all :)
In case you can't decipher all the Nuala-speak, this is what she says (and I'm not including what I say, because hopefully, for my sake, I am understandable):
-Jesus might catch me...
-yeah, Him might catch me, Him might hold me and catch me...
-hold me...
-Him might hold me...
-Him might say hi...
-Him might--Jesus might say hi...
-huh?...
-Him want to play with--maybe Him want to come home...
[Bran: what Noona holding acá (Span. "here" He was looking at her on the camera screen)?]
-Him want to turn movie on, too...
-But Him want to.
Then I stuck Bran on the end saying "real cool!" Just 'cause he's cute. Don't you love the bedhead? That's normal. Even in the middle of the day. Poor boy needs a haircut.
I sure love these two!

That is just really sweet. They're getting so big!
Awe, sweet!
this is MOM ...
Those are fun conversations, aren't they! Good thing they didn't climb up there ... they are such a cute little pair of rascals! We had fun watching the video several times :) Thanks for sharing. Love you all, Mom (Dad too) xox
That is stinkin' cute!
lol, that is so cute! Nuala sure is a smartie! Bran is super cute too, of course. I love the descriptions of why they shouldn't climb up on the railing. Very graphic ;)
Smart kids! I love the Language skills, it is so fun to watch the progression as young ones figure out how it all works. And I am sure you have a lot of fun with Nuala and Bran having 2 (are you working on a 3rd?) languages in there. Great video.
Oh, how sweet! I'm always trying to juggle those two also, the death thing, I mean, not your twins, because I don't live with them, obviously. Love You!
Your children are so adorable, Fiona. When you have a second, please email me your new address.
Thanks:) Liz
Now, that is just the cutest!
