McKay is 3 1/2 and looking forward to his birthday on July 17th.

Who needs a shredder??

Take my picture too Mommy!

McKay loves 'to get lots of exercise running'.

McKay looooovvves to get balloons at the grocery store.

McKay is giving daddy 'presents' while he is sleeping. Surprise! :)

McKay put his pajamas on upside down. Yes, the neck is very stretched out.

McKay totally loved hunting Easter eggs.

McKay loves to play.

When McKay makes his own sandwich I think more peanut butter ends up in his mouth than on the sandwich.

When McKay is gone with Jordan he 'misses Max'.

Striking poses for Daddy.

McKay's job is to put the silverware away. He was too busy to LOOK at the camera. :)

Working in his workbook. McKay L.O.V.E.S. to learn.

McKay recognizes the word 'and' and insists on reading all the 'and's when we read scriptures. He also recognizes several other short words.

Today at enrichment I was asked by a sister who has substituted for McKay's sunbeam class 'where did he come from?? He is an angel child! I have never seen such a well-behaved sunbeam!'

"Mommy, is Jesus going to put a baby girl in your tummy today?"

McKay says the 'Happy Birthday' banner I put up for Maxwell's birthday is to 'help you sing happy birthday to Max', like we need help remembering the words. :)

"I want Max to get more shots so I can get another toy." McKay gets a toy when we go to the Dr whether it is a visit for him or for Maxwell because McKay is so good.

In the bathtub... 'I pooped bubbles'.

The speaker in church was reading the words to 'I Love to See the Temple' so McKay leaned over to Jordan and said "I know that song. I want to sing it for family home evening today." And he remembered when it was time for family home evening.

McKay hums to the songs in sacrament meeting that he doesn't know and is always prepared for the songs to start by finding the correct hymn number.

5-14-11
I asked McKay to repeat a word with the correct pronunciation to which he responded 'I don't say that on Saturday. Or Sunday either'. He will usually repeat the words we help him with but after a few tries he'll say 'I can't say it (insert number) times!"

5-6-11
"When the balloon goes up to the sky, no one can reach it, not even Daddy. But Daddy is really big. He's been growing a long time" (after his balloon from the grocery store went up to the sky)

McKay in an exasperated voice "Why do I keep doing this?" (pushing his chair away from the table) "there we go" (as he pulls it back up)

McKay calls his sheet a 'curtain'. I was really confused when he said he wanted his curtain on him!

After watching 'He Is Risen', McKay told Jordan "They put Him in a tube". (tomb)

McKay and I were at Kohls looking at something for Jordan for Fathers day and I asked him what he thought. He said "That is 99 cents pound. You'd better get something else." I asked him what he'd said and he repeated it. Nothing gets past this boy!

When McKay has an opportunity to shake someone's hand, particularly Max' he says 'Nice ta meet ya!'

McKay looked in the mirror and said "I am a handsome boy." Guess he's heard that a few times. :)

4-15-11
"I am 3 AND 6. After my birthday I'll be 4 and 6 because Buzz is 6." (We have no clue why Buzz Lightyear is 6.)

"I'd better get my running shoes on." (His only other pairs of shoes are his Sunday shoes and sandals but he has to have running shoes just like Daddy.)

When asked to give a talk in primary McKay politely said 'No thanks'

McKay came out of his room shortly after he'd gone to bed. His explanation: "I was worried I didn't give Daddy hugs and kisses".

"The problem is..." fill in, I need a drink of water, I can't find my shoes, I am too tired, I am hungry etc.

"Wait just one minute."

When McKay 'calls' someone on his phone the rings sound like when he calls someone on skype... beeeep beeep... beeeeep beeeeep. And when they don't answer, it is the same beedibileep sound. :)

McKay and Jordan were at Costco enjoying samples during lunch when McKay winked and clicked his tongue at an older woman serving the samples. It totally surprised her and made her day. Jordan was surprised too. McKay enjoyed making her laugh.

McKay calls a night light a flashlight.

3-11-11
I had primary songs playing when McKay came in the room singing along with it. He was excited that he knew the song. It was 'I Will Follow Gods Plan for Me'. He learned it in primary! The primary leaders have all mentioned to me that they love having McKay in Primary because he listens and sings the songs. When he doesn't know the words, he hums. :)

Whenever we go somewhere, McKay likes to take his phone, keys, wallet, and biaper bag with us. His 'biaper bag' is his shapes pail, his phone is his play phone from Grandma Cardon, and his wallet and keys are usually a couple of shape sorting toys. Guess what I make sure I have before we leave? :)
