Out of the mouths of my babies....

P is a serious chatterbox. This is funny to me because neither Chris nor myself are the non-stop chatty type. At all. :) But this little guy always has something to say. To anyone and everyone. I rarely attempt talking on the phone unless he's sleeping (hence I hardly make phone calls!) and forget trying to listen to the news (which I love) while I'm cooking. I'm lucky to hear one out of every 20 words or so over this little guy's high pitched chatter. Come to think of it, I think the only thing that keeps this little blondie quiet for a few consecutive minutes is that darn I-Phone... :)

Here are just a few of the things this 3 1/2 year old has said recently that have made me smile:

• "Mom, I have something to tell you. I am soooo sorry about this. I couldn't get on the potty in your bathroom in time so I sprayed the wall all over. Daddy cleaned it up, but I am so, so sorry." Nice. At least he has remorse...
• "Mom, if you want to play a game with me then you better give me a TREAT!" REALLY?! Who's bribing WHO to do WHAT?!
• "Mom, someday I'll have my own exercise show. And I'll do THIS, and THIS" (as he proceeded to show me some interesting yoga like moves)...Hmmm... I might have to reevaluate my invitations for him to 'workout' with me in the mornings...I didn't know it would give him such - ahem - aspirations... :)
• "But Mom, I don't like the green parts of the broccoli".....
• "But Mom, how do grownups grow DOWN???"
• "Mom, how old is Roxy?" (our dog) -About 8- "Oh did she get baptized then?"
• After staring at my headband for a moment he said, "Thanks for wearing that, Mom! It's beeeeautiful!".
• "Mom, I drew with marker all over my arms because I am SUPER and I am STRONG!!". Ahh, now it makes perfect sense...
• "Emmie is such a princess, Mom. Girls are just princesses".
• Checking out some new elastics he asked, "What are those, Mom?" - Hair bands for Em - "Oh GREEEEAT! They're LOVE-A-LY!"
• I came downstairs and caught him with scissors in his hand and he exclaimed, "But Mom, I didn't cut any fingers off! SEEEE?!" oh phew..
• After I cleaned his ear with a Q-tip and showed it to him, he said matter-a-factly, "Sometimes I EAT that. (Earwax?!!!?) It doesn't taste very great". At least he has that straight...Ughhh!
• Upon asking him what his Daddy does for a job he exclaimed, "He's a Pharmasore!". Close.... Pharmasore, pharmacist...One is just from Jurassic times...?

• (I have more written down but I can't find my notebook... I will add them later...!)

And my favorite -- she'll stand at the top of the stairs when she hears Parker saying something downstairs and she'll shout, "Whut!? Whhuuuut?!" (what!?).

It seems like she's been a little slow to talk but she is saying more and more everyday... especially this last week it seems like she's been repeating everything!

I sure love these two & the interesting things that come out of their mouths -- even when it's so constant that I don't hear much else during my day!

Wouldn't have it any other way.... :)
