Hey, time to potty train! Everyone's kids crack me up.

My 2 year-old comes home with Dad today and the first thing she said was, " I want more baby brothers." (Her new brother is 10 days old.) I asked her when she wanted them and she replied, "how about tomorrow, no wait as long this time."

Heaven help me I created a little Grandma, wanting lots of babies for her to play with,but none of the sleepless nights.

So I called home night before last in the middle of a study marathon. I got on the phone with each child and went through the usual, "What are you doing?"

My six-year-old, in his most proud voice ever says,

"I'm Screwing!"



Turns out he and his father were putting together a model car, and his job was to turn the screws.

Just a few mispronounced words:
"Turn on the night-night" (night light)
"I wanna go on the jumpoline" (trampoline)
at karate "knee stripe, elbow stripe" (strike)
"Let's put on some sunscream" (sunscreen)
and I'm forgetting many more...

hahahahaha!

oh my gosh, those posts from 2008 are hilarious. go back and read what your kids said!!

My daughter had to go in to have a cyst removed from her lip. We had to check-in at 6:30 am, so I woke her up at 5:15 am and told her it was time to get ready to go to the doctors. She looked out the window seeing it was still dark and with shock on her face says--NOW?!

After waking up from anesthesia the recovery nurse asked if she wanted any water, juice or Popsicle. She replied (in such a matter of fact voice the nurse just had to tell us), "No, I have juice at home and I don't wanna Popsicle." She quickly changed her mind when we came in though.

What can I say, she is a bit of a ham.

My daughter is 3 years old.
The other day she asked: "Mommy, you are so beatiful, I want to be like you, can you help me?"

Two weeks ago, she asked: "Mommy, How did i get in your belly?"
Me: "Hm. . . . (Long silence!). . . you came to my belly! (really stupid answer)
She asked again: "But, how mommy, how?"
Me: You came from my belly and you get out of my belly and I inmeadiately changed the subject.
OH WELL, I WAS EXPECTING THAT KIND OF TALK AT 6 YEARS OLD OR 7!
NO NOW!

We've been working with our kids to have them understand that holidays are about more than candy/presents/food/free time/etc.

Tonight I got an email from my son's teacher. She said she had to let me know about their class discussion today. They were discussing the upcoming holidays and what they mean. When she got to my son (6-years-old), he said, "Christmas is all about spending time with your family, it's all about your family".

His teacher said he was so sweet and sincere, she melted.

So did I

The whole family was at the local bike shop tonight looking for a helmet for my two and a half year old daughter. My husband was holding our son who is two and a half months and Lily took off running toward a bike she saw standing in the showroom in a long line of bikes, she went to pull it out when yep, you guessed it the entire line of bikes went falling over like dominoes. I thought things like that only happened in movies. I caught two before the rest fell, but I was so shocked the only thing I could do was smile and chuckle before I died of embarrassment. I looked down at Lily and so did the owners and my husband to see Lily with both her hands over her mouth which was gaping open in absolute shock. Then she looked at me as said, "Oh my gosh Mommy, you are in trouble."

I wanted to crawl into some whole somewhere, but the owners just started cracking up, much to my relief.

As for my husband he just wanted to run out of the store. We did however buy a bike helmet and gave them our sincerest apologies.
