From the mouths of preschoolers....

Here are a few stories to share....

5/1

Connor said to me "Babies are hard to take care of - you just never know what they want". Ha Ha....half the time I don't know what the preschoolers who know how to talk want (of course their list of wants are much longer)!

5/3

One evening, Connor asked me what the drops are that we put in Claire's bottle. After I told him they were gas drops, he responded "Well, they aren't working as she farted on me the whole time I was feeding her."

5/6

Connor and Brady have already planned their honeymoons. Connor is taking his wife to Australia while Brady is taking his wife on a multi-continent trip to Italy (South America, Africa, then Europe). I wonder if they would take me with them??

Why is my kid always planning for adulthood? First Connor has his honeymoon planned and now he has picked out his college roommate (Carac). Hopefully college comes first...

5/12

Question from Connor: "How do you say no to someone that asks you to marry them that you don't want to marry? No thank you, No way, or No I don't". I then had to explain that usually the answer is yes because a couple date for awhile first and then he asked how daddy asked me to marry him and how I knew his name. Why am I explaining dating and marriage to my 5 yr old and did someone already ask him?

5/16

Genuine smiles, sometimes instant satisfaction when cuddled, and cooing from Claire...makes all the other "stuff" that goes with a newborn totally worth it!

5/17

What are the chances that this morning's routine will work when I return to work??? All three kids up and dressed by 6:30 and ready to go on time. It helped that we used Claire as motivation for the boys...Connor took care of Claire while we got dressed. So it is all up to Claire to hold off until morning for her feeding.

As we are serving dinner and the boys are complaining (as usual), Connor said "Can we just do like at school and be a cold luncher?" Uh no....we can never get our kids to eat anything different or healthier!

5/20

Yummy breakfast for dinner which guarantees everyone happily eats and a hilarious game of Riddley Riddley Ree. ESPECIALLY when Brady's guess for the color silver was daddy's hair! Daddy was speechless and was actually referring to something other than his hair. Now we know what color Brady thinks daddy's hair is!
