The Things We Say

Sometimes I catch myself saying the strangest things or laughing out loud at something Carter or Bryson says. Life with kids is never dull! Before I forget them, I wanted to journal these recent quotes...

Things I've said that I never thought I would:
  • "Don't touch your brother's poop!"
  • (Out in the yard) Kitties are little, so their poo-poo is little. This big poo-poo came from something much bigger than a kitty. (I'm wondering, do mothers of daughters find themselves talking about poo-poo as often as I do???)

Carter said:

  • "Did you know a moth is the cousin to a butterfly?" (Where does he get this stuff???)

  • We measured Carter before dinner. After dinner he said, "Wow. I ate A LOT! I bet I'm REALLY big now. Can you measure me again?"
  • (After a really big hug that took all his might) Wow - I think I need to exercise before I can hug anymore. That made my arms TIRED!
  • When I told Carter that someday he & Bryson could be daddies, his response was, "Wow! Won't that be crazy when there are 3 daddies living in our house?!"
Bryson said:
  • (While playing peek-a-boo) "You can't see me!" Then opening his eyes, "Here I am! I was hiding behind my eyes!"

  • (Giving Carter a big bear hug) "You're my best, best friend, Carter!"
  • Bryson often refers to Carter as "my Carter".

Yes Becky, we discuss poop as well, but not quite as much as "tooting." Can't quite get past either!!

This is so precious. I love the way kids communicate and choose their words. Lately the boys have started this thing that makes Caris cry...they say, Caris you poopy! She hates it :-)
