Derek continues to greatly amuse Kevin and me.  I feel like I am constantly laughing at something he has done, whether it is using my hand and wedding ring as a blaster, or seeing him curled up on the couch with the Star Wars Lego's video game Kevin brought home for him.  

Granted, half of the time I am laughing out of frustration, but some of it is pretty darn funny, especially the things he says.  For example . . .

"Embellion"– what he calls the Millennium Falcon.  We don't know where it comes from, and sometimes he really does call it the right name, but only with prompting.

"Interial Walker" – how he says Imperial Walker

"Robots" – what he calls the little walkers (ATST's) when they are in Episode V, but not in Episode VI.  He actually will argue with Kevin about this, and it is so funny.

"Anamiana Joneses Lego's" – What he calls the Indiana Jones Lego's game

"Kareokeep games"– a tag-line he adds to the name of most video games, probably because of all the Karaoke Revolution we used to play when he was little.

"WooWee" – what it sounds like when he says Lily's name.

"I meed it.  I meed it to me!" – What he says when he wants something

"That's too tricky."  "That's too hurty."  "That's too icky."  "Because I don't like it."  "But that's not my favorite thing." – His favorite sayings when he doesn't like something or doesn't want to do what I want him to do.

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" –  to his dad, right before asking for a video game

"Daddy, let's play something that rhymes with video games.  I know, Star Wars Video games." – I guess it does technically rhyme, even if they are the same words.

"I can't take a babth!  The babthtub is too wet!"– what he says every time we go to give a bath.

"Oh no, Mom, I need a napkin"– after he accidentally soaked himself with the hose.

And he is still up to his sneaky tricks too.  The first week we were here, our next-door neighbor brought over some cupcakes.  I ate mine that night, but since the kids and Kevin were asleep, I put the rest on the counter for the next day.  That morning, Derek was up early, as usual, and had gone downstairs before me.  When I got downstairs, this is what I found . . .

Yes, all the frosting gone.  I put them up higher, and left the room for a few minutes.  I came back and found this, with a little boy telling me that he "found the muffins for breakfast."  Ahh, Derek.

PS.  The way Derek talks about video games, it makes it sound like he plays them all the time, but really he watches, and he only does that about twice a month when Kevin has time to play video games :).
