Kid-isms

These are some good ones that I never want to forget.  Love having two 4-year olds asking me lots of questions and telling me great information.

October 16th:

Sydney is playing that Ethan is her "kitty". She just said, "hold on kitty. I'm working out with grandma."  (Yes, I was working out…so I was grandma.)

 

October 16th:

Just asked my 4-year old to check the baby monitor to see if my baby was awake. She said, "can I see your phone and I'll ask that girl" (aka Siri).

July 19th:

Thank you, man at Seven Peaks who had "gross" long hair. Ethan is finally not insisting on growing his hair long and is all but begging for us to cut it immediately. 

Wish I could drop you a real thank you note.

Ethan: "Mom. I don't want to have long hair anymore."

Me: "Oh really?  Why do you say that buddy?"

Ethan: "Because I saw a man with long hair and it looked really gross."

July 13th:

Ethan has an outtie belly button. He saw mine and said "take a deep breath and pop it up -- see like mine? Go like this (takes a deep breath). Try to pop it out."

"That doesn't even look like a belly button anyway with that little crack in it." (I had a laparoscopy several years ago and there's a scar.) 

June 18th:

Ethan: "Mom! This is important! I saw a commercial on TV for OxyClean. It cleans things really well."

Me: "Yes. We have some in the laundry room. That IS important. I'm glad you told me."

Ethan: (looking relieved and disappointed at the same time)

May 15th:

Sydney (grabbing popcorn I made) "Mom, my tummy is very full."
Me: "Sydney, well don't keep eating if you're tummy is telling you it's full."
Sydney: "Well, my tummy is very hungry…very, very hungry…"

March 19th:

Ethan "mom. I have a secret. I found a girl I'm going to marry."
Me "at preschool?"
Ethan "yes!"
Me "what's her name?"
Ethan "I don't know. I might find someone else though. She was in that room waiting for our parents to pick us up. She has black hair like you and Kayla. She's in the same school but not in our class. I'll see her next time."

Oh. My. Goodness. Laughing so hard! Love at preschool.

February 15th:

Have a cold that went straight to my vocal chords. My voice is barely audible. My son keeps asking me "why are you whispering?" and "try going like this mom…ah hem (clearing throat noise)." I would laugh, if I had a voice!

February 7th:

Me: "Ethan, stop being bossy."
Ethan: "I'm not being bossy. I'm just telling her what to do so she knows what to do everyday." 
Boy, was I off!
