{funny sayings}

This should tell my children something about me...

I have sticky notes, pieces of paper, receipts, etc., all lieing around the house, tucked away in crannies and in organizational units and even in my purse. 

They all have something in common...

They all hold the most important information I own...my children's words to me.

  I love writing down what they say that either makes me laugh or makes me stop and think or touches my heart or makes me think how smart they are.

I love my children and love writing down what they say

 BUT...

 I have got to figure out a better system!!!:)

Here are some sayings I found as I started to gather from all over the house all of the little slips of paper from the last year or so!

October 2011

At breakfast Henry (4yrs old) wanted me to write down a note for Chris.

"Dear daddy, I love you so much as a star.  Dear daddy I love to play trains with you.  I love daddy sincerely"

Riding in the car.

                                           Henry:  Mom, would you like to be a wild life biologist?                                   

Me:  No, would you?

             Henry:  Yes, It's when you get to study the life of creatures.

On a walk.

Henry:  You and Dad are my favorite buddies!

4 years old

Mom:  Teasingly I said Henry was a carnivore

Henry:  No, I am an omnivore, a person who eats plants.

4 years old

I told Henry to go clean his room.

He said:  "I would say yes, but I have to say no two times.  I say yes two times and then no two times.  That's my pattern."

August and September of 2012

Eliza, 2 years old.

Eliza loves to be a "naked jaybird".  When she is changing into pajamas or anything else we are always hearing "I am a naked jaybird."  When we are changing we also hear over and over again..."Are you a naked jaybird?"

Eliza
While eating a bell pepper

"This is a crispy pepper!"

She pointed to a picture of Chris and said, "Daddy!  He's cute!"

Me:  Are you sick?  (I was not really expecting an answer from my barely two year old as I felt her forehead)

Eliza:  No!  I am just fine!

Henry tied the vaccum cord up and down the stairs.  It was woven all around and knotted throughout the stairs.  He had to work very hard to get it all untangled.



November 2011
Henry:  Mom, I found two dead cheerios.
(He had found two soggy and dried cheerios under the kitchen table)

Henry:  This is my skunk dog.  When Eliza holds him he skunks her!
Henry had not gotten used to Eliza yet (yes, Eliza was about 15 months old at this time) and he for sure did not want her touching his dog that he sleeps with!


Henry, age four
Eliza, age one
I overheard this conversation while Henry and Eliza were playing downstairs.
"Eliza, you're not in charge.  You're just a little girl.  I'm in charge, I am...(he paused)...three years older than you.

 
More to come!!!!
