Before kids, I never used these phrases...
1. What are you two doing in there?
2. The lotion is for your body, not for the couch.
3. I'll clean the kitchen if you change that poopy diaper.
4. I'll put sprinkles on it.
5. We're out of Princess panties right now, will you please wear your Elmo ones?
6. Lollipops have too much sugar to eat for breakfast.
7. Lollipops have too much sugar to eat before bedtime.
8. Let's go to a playground where there are no other kids, so we don't get any of them sick.
9. We're out of wipes!
10. That's way too big of a bite!
Funny things this week...
I was so mad at our cat, Tom, for chewing off the three remaining leaves of my struggling plant. I've had this plant since I was in nursing school, it's had many, many lives, and always manages to revive itself. This last time, it wasn't looking so good, so I put it in one of the bathrooms. After about two weeks, it finally started lifting it's wilting leaves, which made me VERY happy...I LOVE this little plant. Last night, I noticed the leaves were missing and carried the plant to Judd as evidence, "Look at what your dumb cat did" (I never call our cat names, only when he deserves it, and that's rarely.) About 30 minutes later, Savannah comes running up to me, "Mom, I did it! I took the leaves off your plant!" I thought she might be covering for Tom, or vying for attention so I asked, "where did you put the leaves?" I tore them up and put them in the trash can, all of them." Who can be mad at that? I looked in the trash and sure thing, there were all my leaves, torn to pieces at the bottom. I didn't make a big deal out of it, I just had to secretly smile and let it go. I could see Judd smirking out of the corner of my eye. I explained to Savannah that the plant needs it's leaves in order to grow, she was happy with that and went onto jump on her dad.
I've had a terrible cold for about 1.5 weeks and sometimes I'm so exhausted I just have to lay down on the floor and let the kids run around me. While achy and miserable, they like to jump and climb all over me. Goodness.
One of my favorite Savannah sayings...
Me: Is Luke a baby?
Savannah: Mom, he's an old baby.
Luke was pretending to eat Savannah's wooden pizza. He was making "Cookie Monster" noises.
Right now, Luke is naked, but wearing Savannah's first year Halloween costume, the Jack-O-Lantern with the stem on top. He's playing the xylophone.
Just so you know, yes, we do have structured time, and we do participate in stimulating activities. Things get silly when mommy has a cold.
