Kids say the darnest things (April and May)
More of the interesting things that fly out of my kids mouths.
While out to dinner one night DL tells me he needs to use the potty. We get up and go to the bathroom.
"Mommy. I use the boys. You use the girls"
"Uhm honey, I can't go into the boys"
"I know. It's ok." And he opens the door and walks into the men's.
I take a deep breath and try not to freak out ("oh god he's alone. should I go get CJL. is there someone creepy in there." ect) Then I hear him:
"I peeing mommy!"
"I flushed mommy"
"Wash my hands"
He comes out, huge smile on his face. "Im a really big boy now."
I can't help but smile, "yes honey you are"
"you want me to keep you company while you potty?"
Laughing, "no it's ok honey, why don't you go finish dinner" He then runs off back to the table leaving me to marvel at how independent he's getting.
Granted he does this all the time now and I still have my moments of freaking out while standing guard outside the men's until he comes out. But he's a "really big boy now" and it's important to him that he do it by himself.

From the living room, for no reason the other day I hear DL say:
"Bring out your dead, bring out your dead."
This boggles the hell out of me. We haven't watched any Monty Python since we moved in here. Do we really use that phrase that much?? Hilarious though.

While trying to get her into the car the other day I accidentally bonked Pea's head. She cried a little but DL had to show her that his head was made of plastic so it didn't hurt when he hit his head. We laughed at him while he slapped his forehead repeatedly.
Ah slap stick humor. Next comes the fart jokes.
----------------
Pea was extra noisy one day and Drama Llama stops into the kitchen:
"Mommy! She's too loud. Take her back"
Snerk "Back? Back where?"
"Back to the hospital. She oboxious (that's how he says it) they get her a new home."
"Honey I think we're stuck with her"
"Oh, that's not fair. She's too loud and I don't want her anymore"
----------------
We went to the park the other day and there was a little girl about half DL's age playing there. They started going down the slide together and before I knew it she was holding his hand as they climbed the stairs.
I smiled at DL and he told me:
"I a gent-man. She's little and needs help"
The little girls mom and I melted right there on the spot. She then thanked me for raising a gentleman. I couldn't help but tell daddy when he got home.

DL wakes up from a nap last week.
"you sleep well honey?"
"yeah. I had a bad dream"
"really what about?"
"Pea got sucked up by the vacuum and died."
"Oh honey that sounds horrible." Hug him
looking up at me "No. I was ok."
----------------
After having dinner with RedMinx DL informed me the next morning:
"mommy I want a nosering"
"Not till your 18."
"OOOOH! That's WAY past 4. So stupid!" And stomps out of the kitchen.
Had to laugh at that one.
----------------
After going to lake to have lunch and to look for Gossie and her other gosling friends DL made an important assessment.
"Geese like biscuits. And puffies (baby food), not spinach mommy."
"No spinach huh?"
"No. And pirates don't like it either. Only Kenna"
"Right, no spinach. Got it."
"Can we try popcorn next?"
"Do YOU want popcorn or do the GEESE want popcorn?"
"Yes"
Can't argue with that.
