Kids Say {And Other Cute Moments}: February - July 2015

This has been sitting and growing in drafts for way too long:

• As Emily hugged Boomer she told me "I wiped boogers on him." I never thought I'd have to say "We don't put boogers on dogs."
• "Stay out of the commeration" - Em
• Em calls Molly (daycare baby), Wally.
• Richard said the snow was starting to accumulate on the cars and Sean said "I want to see the cars human-ating"
• Em starts whining so I asked her what's wrong. Em: "These ears!!" Me: "What's wrong with your ears?" Em: "I hear sounds!" 
• Em's the first of my kids to have an imaginary friend...well really 2 imaginary friends. They are Jen and Jake. Em says they match so that means they are twins. But she says their hair doesn't match. Jen has black hair and Jake has blue. They have a blue house and tonight they made "cookcakes" (cupcakes) with blue icing.
• Sean: Next time we have mashed potatoes we have to have gravy! Em: No!! I don't like green beans!!     ???
• On the way to the y Maddy told me "I'm going to play and workout and wear myself out so at bedtime when my head hits the pillow I will be passed asleep." btw passed asleep = fast asleep + passed out
• I told the kids that we were going to get their rooms cleaned up before we go to the y. Em told me "I can't clean. I don't have 3 hands." Nice try! Lol
• Backstory: the day before Em went in the stay and play room at the y by herself while Sean and Maddy went in the interactive play room. I knew she did fine but the next night I found out how well. Turns out she now has 2 boyfriends...
• As she pushes on my belly Em says "Mama! You're squooshy squooshy" Gee thanks! 3 yr weight loss motivation??
• Maddy told me "Glitter makes everything beautiful!!" 
• Knock knock jokes made by a 3 yr old....Knock knock Who's there? Banana peel Banana peel who? Banana peel chicken     ??
• Talking about her new baby cousin, Hayley, Em says, "I like Hay-o-wee."
• Listing the pets we have Em told Grandma "and we have a Boomer." 
• We kept a rabbit and the kids named him Sven. Dad was asking if the name was Swedish. Sean "He is really sweet!"

Kids Say {And Other Cute Moments}: Long Overdue Update

This is way way overdue but thanks to my posts on facebook, I'm able to look back and recover some of these moments that I want to remember and share. The last time I did this was the beginning of March 2014 so this will be a pretty long post. Hope you enjoy as much as I do!

December

• 11:00 New Year's Eve: Em "Can we go to bed now!?"
• According to Emily I don't do yoga, I do "yoger".
• I asked Em what did she want for her birthday dinner. Her answer: cake!
• Em told me that she has a skeleton butt... ???
• When I went to see Wicked it was on the same stage that Maddy has her dance recitals. She told me that she wanted to go with me so she could see how they would have her stage set up. 

November

• Em's nose is running but instead of asking for a tissue she told me "I want you to catch my nose!"
• Dad asked Em if she wanted to go to Red Lobster. Her response was "We can't eat red monsters!!"

October

• Today was the 3rd day this week that Em has come in my room at 6:30, climbed in my bed, and told me "want snuggle". Tuesday she actually told me "Put arm round me. I want snuggle."

September

• Em was yelling "Sissy come here!" and Maddy was ignoring her. So Em yelled "MY SISTER come here!!"
• Maddy and Em want to be Elsa and Anna for Halloween (can't say I'm surprised) so I asked Sean if he wanted to be Olaf. He told me "no, I want to be something scary!" That's my boy!
• Ummm...ok..Em is demanding that her name be Sleepy Moody. At least the name fits at the moment...

August

• When we introduced Gizmo to the new pup Em told Gizmo "Gimzo, this is a friend." 

July

• After I helped her put these (see picture on the right) on she told me "mama, I'm not a tutu girl." 
• Em just randomly told me: "Mama! I didn't bonk my head!" I'm very glad she did not bonk her head while sitting on the floor drinking her drink. lol

June

• Things you never thought you'd say "no, you have to wear your pants until we get home." Em is always asking to take her clothes off.
• Em about daycare baby: "I really like him. He love me. He want to stay." and then gave me a pouty face when I told her that he would be going home when his mommy came. 
• *sigh* Gotta love 2 yrs olds "Mama! I hungry!!" "Then eat your dinner." "I can't like to!"
• Richard told Em to hold her horses. She turned around looking around the room saying "where's my horses?"
• How can I say no!? Em just came to me with her blanket and a paci and said "snuggle please"

May

• Em took off with my swiffer duster and then told me it was a big toothbrush. I told her "no, it's a duster." "duster? no way, it big toothbrush." "it's a duster" "ok it duster. I wike this duster! It my fabrite!" ...and now she's riding it around like a witch's broom. lol  
• I'm going through a message I wrote a friend about middle of last year and found where I told her about this conversation I had with Maddy: Maddy likes to have someone stay in her room and talk for a little bit before she goes to bed. The other night babies and marriage came up. She said she's going to marry Sean. I told her she can't marry her brother. She sat and thought for a minute, then "AJ's not my brother. I can marry him!" She also says she's going to have 5 babies.
• I just asked the kids to keep it down a bit b/c I'm starting to get a headache. Em tells me "you head hurt!? You need band-aid!"
• I asked Em if she was my snuggle bug and she told me "No, I'm not a bug!!"
• Remember the snail shell I found in Sean's pocket the other day?? Turns out it was more than just the shell and snails are pretty hardy. I did not find it the other day until I was putting the clothes in the dryer. It got left on the table and just now was crawling around there... We now have a pet snail named Gary.
• I peeked in on the kids. Sean's still on Maddy's bed reading to her but she's already fallen asleep. 
• I got a couple new skirts. I put one on and Sean said " Mama, you're beauuuutiful!"
• Oh my! My girls were just fighting. Em has learned a lot from Maddy. They started by yelling "stop" "you stop" at each other. Then there was identical growling from both. It ended with them yelling "bad girl!" to the other. And not a minute later they are playing so nicely together....
• Richard Rawls's getting Em in her pjs and this was their conversation: Em: "I can't go to sleep" Richard "Why can't you go to sleep?" Em: Because" Richard: "Because why? Because isn't an answer" Em: "Because I baby" Richard: "Well babies sleep a lot" Em: "Babies go sleep? No way!"
• I did a little clothes shopping tonight and have decided that Em has to come with me everytime I shop for myself. In the dressing room she told me "ooooh that's pretty" everytime I put something new on.

April

• This is Maddy. Her newest one is "When can I get up?" "In the morning" "How will I know it's morning?" "The sun will come up." "What if it doesn't happen?"/or/"What if I forget?"
• Little boys...gotta love them... Sean chose the time while I was meeting with a potential daycare mom to let me know he learned the word "coccyx". He'd say it and giggle. Oh well, if that scares her off, she wouldn't fit in with our daycare family anyway. lol
• Daycare baby (Tyler) has been "Baby" to Em...until today. All day today he was "Baby Brother"  ...but Sean was quick to reminder her that he is her brother, and Tyler is David's brother.

March

• Maddy just told me that she will never be mad at me. I should have recorded that to play back 10 years from now....or possibly later today. lol
• Em made Grandma proud last night. We had to run into Target for a couple things last night and when we walked past the shoes Em says "Ooooooh!!! Look at the shoes!!!"
• As kids came into nursery Emily waves and says "hi friends!" 
• I choose this one to end this post with, the pictures below go with it: Meet Baby Bug, the ladybug that was literary loved to death by Emily. Once it finally stopped trying to run away, Em swayed while singing a lullaby to it "Rock rock baby to sleep..." But then Baby Bug was missing. Em grabbed her face saying "Oh no! Where Baby Bug go!?" and eventually told me that Baby Bug flew away. RIP Baby Bug.

Kids Say: February 2014

This was one of my favorite kind of posts to write. We all know that kids say the darndest things. That's what this post is all about!

*Emmy Word: Hay-elp = help with a toddler southern twang

*Em is singing the abbreviated version of the ABCs "a, b, sing with me"

*Sean "the groundhog saw his shadow, 6 more weeks till summer! "

*The girls wanted their nails painted today. Afterward, Em was showing hers off to everyone, including the cat: "Look, pretty nails. I pretty princess!"

*Maddy randomly announces at dinner "When I die I am not going to be cooked. I am going to be buried and the bugs are going to eat me and poop me out dirt."  ...we discussed cremation last month...

*Em: "11, 12, 13, here I come!"

*Sean: "Mommy, I'm just so smart. I just can't get math out of my head!"

*Em after daycare baby went home...not seconds after he was out the door, "Where'd baby go? I want baby back!!" ...with bottom lip out and all.

Kids Say: March

Sean seems to have been the talkative one this month:

Let's start with some of Sean words:

fidg-e-ater = refrigerator

Engine turtles = ninja turtles

Beaner sistle = wiener schnitzel

Wha-bay ...your guess is as good as mine!!

Sean woke up from nap and Maddy and daycare baby (10 months) were still asleep. I went to check on them and Sean asks me "Are the kids still asleep?"

"When I grow up I'm going to be a cowboy. After I'm a cowboy, I'm going to be a firefighter!!"

"I'm hungry. My tummy's growling like a race car."

"Do you know why runners drink water? Because they run out of running power."

Serta commercial comes on and Sean tells me "Mama, we need that bed." Why? "My bed isn't comfortable because I keep moving around."

"When I be a dad and get a mom, I want her van to be blue."

Talking about batman- "This thing is called a slimer. It'll cut your head off and might give you a bleed."

"When I be a dad, I don't want hair." I asked where because I thought he was talking about facial hair. He answered "my head!"

I was complaining about how much pollen was in the house with only 1 window open. Sean then explained to me that a walking key opened all the windows the night before.

Sean wiped my kiss off of him so I asked him why. "because I can only have Granddad and Justin kisses."

Kids Say: February

Maddy- "Emily's a baby. She came out of your belly. It hurt. It don't hurt anymore!!"

Sean, pointing to the middle of my chest "Boys don't have these things. ..these deep things." ...yea, he was talking about cleavage.

Sean saw a picture of Dierks Bentley and said he had "rubbly" ...beard stubble.

Sean telling us how big something was "It's 10 feet hundred!"

Sean on a warm but windy day (windows were open) "Mama, you need to close the window so the wind will stop bugging the curtains."

Maddy to me "You have problems. " Me- "No, you do." Maddy- "I don't have problems! I have a computer!"

A little bonus this month. Sean made up a lullaby for Emily:

Kids Say: January 2012

Sean and Granddad:
    Sean: "What's that on your finger?"
    Granddad: "A booboo"
    Sean: "What kind?"
    Granddad: "I didn't know there were different kinds."
    Sean: "Looks like a bleed."

Maddy's monologues just about every morning for the first couple weeks after Emily was born, "Mama, she's a baby. She's Emily, Emily Noelle. She's ours. We're her family."

Sean about Maddy: "I have to tell her what to do because she doesn't know everything yet."

Sean: Bat Mobile = Batman Bomowheel

Maddy, after one of her normal monologues about anything and everything all at once, tells Emily "I talk a lot!"

Sean, randomly, "I smell like bubbles!!"

Sean, in the car (Emily started crying) "Mama! I think you need to nurse Emily some more!"

Sean: "Babies get baby food in mommies belly from the 'belken' cord. When they come out they like milk from mama."

Sean: "Boys don't wear bras."
Maddy: "I have two!" *pointing to her nipples* "1, 2, see, I have two!"

About a friend who has two daughters... Sean- "They have a boy?" Me- "No, just two girls." Sean- "They do have a boy! A daddy boy!"

Imaginary Friend

While the kids were playing this morning I noticed Sean kept mentioning Jen. The kids don't have a friend named Jen and Sean was talking like Jen was playing with them. So I asked Sean about him. Jen is a boy. Today he was wearing a green shirt with a blue Jeep on it. Jen loves ovals, bath toys and cows. I asked Sean how old Jen is and he told me "20lbs tall" ?? Jen went home for nap time. I wonder if he'll be back.

Kids say: nursing

It's a lazy morning here. No daycare kids and nowhere to go. It's also a typical April day...nice temp but rainy. So, we are inside with a few windows open. Love it!! Surprise surprise, my kids have decided that it's a perfect day to be in just underwear/diaper.

Maddy points to her nipple "Me nurse!!" -- me=my
Sean "I have a nurse too! Boys have nurses but they don't work."
Maddy grabs her baby doll "I nurse baby!"

Conversations with Sean- Dog Dots and Puppies

Keme, our mutt, is pregnant. One of the signs is her nipples becoming more prominent. Sean noticed them today.

Sean- "Mama!! Those are her dots!!"
Me- "She'll use them to nurse her puppies"
Sean- "Yea, when they get here. Then they will go home."
Me- "That's right. They will stay here for a little while then they will go to their homes." --I've never mentioned that the puppies will be rehomed to him.
Sean- "Like we go to Grandma's! We eat dinner. We play legos. We come back home."

Also, according to Sean, the puppies are in dog houses in Keme's belly.

Random Sean-ness

The other day Sean saw a work van drive down the street. 
Sean- "A fire truck!"
Richard- "That's not a fire truck. That's a work van but it does have a ladder on top of it."
Sean- "It's pretending to be a fire truck!"

Kids say

The things that come out of kids mouths...wow. I really need to start keeping track of everything the kids come up with.

Monday Sean and the girl I watch were talking about socks. I over heard Sean tell her "sissy has matching socks! Mama has matching...feet!". Nice to know! LOL

Today I hear Sean in the bathroom talking to himself. I peak in the cracked door to see him looking at himself in the mirror, arms up to show his muscles saying "I'm big. I'm a boy. I'm strong. I have tools. I build!!" I hope he never loses that self esteem!

And in case you were wondering, Sean and his muscles:
