"My name is, HiNumb Poto Haaolsen"
This is how Hyrum addresses himself and it's just about my favorite thing that comes out of his mouth. There are plenty more too. A few months ago, he loved to say "nope" only whatever he was saying he would say like Yoda. "I like you, NOPE". Haha the BEST. He went through a stage where he would say, "AH man!". Now he says, "Are you kidding me?", He says begot for forgot. I love that. When he is upset with me or doesn't get what he wants he'll say to me, "Momma, you know I never need a momma again.", a few things he has said that made us laugh enough to write them down are:
Dad to Hyrum, "Joseph didn't mean to trip you buddy, it was an accident."
Hyrum in response, "Well accident's are NOT ok!"
Hyrum to Mom, "Why do you have cracks in your eyes?" Referring to the red veins in our eyes.
Hyrum to Dad, "I think you're getting too much medicine...your belly is getting bigger and bigger and bigger." Referring to his insulin pump medicine.
Hyrum is probably one of the goofiest kids around. He literally thinks everything is funny. There is a toy in our house that sings a little "skat" and he cracks up EVERY time! Oh and there is a song in Aladdin that has a part that says "and all the monkeys, and all the monkeys" he things that's hilarious and sings it ALL day long. Haha. He really is just awesome! He is very silly, but also very serious and is known for his evil eye. But mostly he and Joseph just like to make up silly names for things and laugh all day.
Hyrum is a lover of life, he loves playing, going outside and getting dirty, loves to sing and dance, he loves LOVES LOVES his siblings, he loves nursery at church, he loves learning new things, loves books, and of course TV shows. When we go for walks I have to stop at every dandylion so that he can blow the seed everywhere (most of the time they end up in his mouth or someone's hair). Oh!! And he loves to clean (vacuum especially) and I couldn't be happier about that!! He seriously loves everything.
I am socked in the gut when he reminds me everyday that he is getting bigger and stronger. I know and recognize this and I wish it didn't have to happen so fast. He gets bigger, smarter, and stronger everyday and it kills me!
The last two years have been busy. With welcoming two new babies he has adjusted so well, as if he were never without his sisters. Even though it has been a struggle for my mind and body to have three babies in under 4 years, I am so glad that they are close and have each other. They will never know life without one another and I feel like that is such a blessing.
2016 has been full of excitement and joy and Hyrum has the perfect face to describe all of it!
I'm sure glad we have Hyrum in our family! He is a perfect fit and an essential piece to our family puzzle. I honestly look forward to all the joy he brings to our everyday life. Life is so much fun with him around.
Dad to Hyrum, "Joseph didn't mean to trip you buddy, it was an accident."
