Some of you may know, I'm trying to keep a log of some of the cute, touching, or just plain old gross things my kids say over the year 2010. So, rather than just log it, why not BLOG it! :) So, here is my list thus far:
April 2010
-Me, "James, did we have a great day, or what???" James, "WHAT!!!"
-my dad refers to Teresa as honey. James spilled some cereal on the floor. Teresa was sweeping it up and James said, "there's one right here, honey!"
-I told Jack that today is a school day (it's been over a week since he's gone because of spring break). He said, "I'm so glad today is a school day...I don't like being away from school so long...I think because I'm addicted to school!"
-James was getting frustrated that his Lego fence was not standing well on the carpet. I said, "James, it doesn't work as well on the carpet as it does the table." He said, "AW, MAN...that's not cool!"
-I told Jack he has graduation pics tomorrow with cap and gown. He asked if there was anything else cool going on tomorrow. I told him he was also taking a class picture with all the kids in the class. He said, "so I'll be standing in the front in my cap and gown and all my friends will be standing behind me?!" Guess I didn't make it clear that EVERY kid is graduating from pre-K.
-tonight, when tucking James in, I reminded him that daddy won't be here in the morning (he left town today). James said, "daddy's gone forever?...(pause, as my heart drops).....at work?"
-James said, "when I get all my stickers, I can go to the elevator movie?!" (he means 'movie theater').
-Jason to James at bedtime, "if you don't go potty first, I'm not going to read a story to you." James, "why?" Jason, "because boys that don't listen, don't get a story before bedtime." James, "oh, that's not cool!"
-Jack said to me, "I really really really want to marry you...but I can't...because something would be wrong with the baby....like only one eyeeeeeee, or missing an earrrrrrr....that's what daddy told me."
-Jack started to work his way upstairs to James' room, where Jason was dealing with a meltdown of a very tired James. Jack said, "I have this. Don't worry. I've got this fussy/tantrum thing. Don't worry, I can handle this." A bit later he came downstairs to me, "I tried to go up there to help, but I think I made it worse."
March 2010
-James, with a sad sad face, "I don't have a friend in the car today because Jack went to school."
-Jack was sitting in the backseat, doing nothing...and apparently James wanted him to interact with him, because he said," Jack, you're not doing ANYTHING!...STOP, not doing anything!"
-For some reason the boys have a bad habit of arguing in the car. This morning we got in the car and sure enough, before even getting down our street, they were at it! So, I said, "if YOU guys can't get along then I will start pulling over the car and 'popping your hand'!...you guys have a bad habit of fighting and screaming in the car!" After my frustrated lecture, James said, "Take a breath Mom?!" (we tell them to take a deep breath when they get angry or upset)
-James said in the car, "the light turned green, you can go!" Me, "yep, now i can go!" James, "good job waiting, Mommy!"
-at Jack's first soccer game, his coach yelled "TIME OUT!" Jack ran with all the other kids to the sideline and said to Jason in a concerned voice, "who is in timeout?"
-I put on a new shirt that had the 'medium' (M M M M M) sticker going down the front. Jack said, "don't forget the medium sticker, Mom." I was surprised he knew the M's meant 'medium.' So, I told him "I didn't know you knew that the 'M' meant size medium?!" He said, "yep, and 'F' means fat!"
-James saw the kitty on the bed and started to run toward him! I said, "kitty, are you scared?" Then James said, "don't worry kitty, we're just a person!"
-James was begging Jack to share. Jack thought he'd reason with James by asking James if HE would share if he had a toy Jack wanted. James replied back, "YES!" With a grin, I looked at Jack, wondeing what he'd say. He just smiled and said, "Come on, you're getting my lesson all wrong!"
-an ant bit James. Jason said, "James, come show me where the ant bit you." James said, "right there (while pointing to the spot in the yard where the ant bit him)."
-Jason asked James, "James, do you know where milk comes from?" James said, "the refridgerator!"
-me, "James, do you want more of your pb&j or do you want to eat your pretzels first?" James, "eat my fretzels pirst."
-Potter was barking and I said, "hush Potter!" Then James yelled, "Hush Potter...HONESTLY!!!"
-I said, "Jack, you got a letter from Mrs. Deitert (his teacher in TX)!" Jack said, with a huge smile, "OH....ROCKSTAR JACK!"
-James, "I'm gonna go get my truck! Okay Mom?" Me, "Okay!" James, "say it louder Mom!" Me, "OKAY!" James, "good job!"
-I told James, "we're going to get to see Mrs. Jessica, Beck, and Pierce tomorrow!" He replied back, "OH MY DOSH!!"
February 2010
-When I got James from his crib this morning: James, "Hi Dad." Me, "hi James." James, "oh, you're not dad, you're mom. Huh, doofy. Booger."
-James said, "I pulled my pants down!" Me, "do you need to go potty?" James, "no, just trying to pull my pants down...just want to walk like a penguin!"
-I was laying on the couch and James came over, rubbed my head, kissed my cheek, and said, "you're a sweetheart!"
-as the Saints made a touchdown during the super bowl, James yelled, "you KNOW that!!!" You KNOW that!"
-I asked James, "are you ready for some oatmeal?" He said, "YES!" We walked to the kitchen and then said, "How 'bout [pause]....how 'bout brownies?" (with a furrowed brow and a shrug with his palms facing up).
-We were watching a tribute video of the Saints and James noticed one of the players on the ground. He said, "uh oh, he slipped....that GO SAINTS slipped!"
-Before Jason and I go to bed, one/both of us usually goes and checks on the boys/covers them up. Tonight, Jason went into James' room and covered him. He rarely ever wakes up, but this time he did, and promptly yelled at Jason, "Let me sleep, let me sleep!"
-I showed James a picture of the house we're going to live in when we move to P'cola. He said, "we're gonna LIVE in there?" I said, "yes!" He said, "WOW...we're gonna live in there! Wanna go live in there now!"
-Jason explained Lent to Jack and how it's a time to give something up. Jack's response, "I don't think that's good. You should just keep trying instead of giving up."
-As I buckled James in the car, I asked the boys if they were ready to go pick up Daddy. James said so casually, "whatever, Mom."
-"If God didn't make cats, I'd die." -Jack
-I asked Jack how long he had been awake...and he explained he woke up and didn't see any light, then checked our door and saw it was still closed and then he explained he said, "great rumbling rats!" I asked him where he learned that expression and he said, "I learned it from my animal brain, since a rat is an animal!" (we've explained differences in things learned and things automatic by explaining the brain in two parts-the animal brain and people brain)
-me, "James, if you scream like that one more time, you're going to your room." He walked over and rubbed my arm, "don't worry Mom!....you're sad?"
-Jack (about 20 minutes after arriving at our new home in Florida), "so, we're in Florida now?" Me, "yep, this is Florida!" Jack, "wow, we're in Florida...I even lost my cowboy voice!"
January 2010
-Grandpa said, "we made a really cool race track!" Jack, "be humble Grandpa!"
-as I got James out of his crib, the first thing he said was, "where's Jason?"
-Jack requested juice "made from scratch." in other words, juice made with the juicer.
-James said (in reference to the marble machine Jack built), "This is AMAZING, Jackers!"
-James said to Jason (after Jason got home from work the day after an almost two week break from work), "I MISSED you Daddy!"
-James was fussing and rolling on the floor for some reason (a mini tantrum) and then yelled, "I'm so TIRED of this!"
-I love that Jack wants to give me credit for the delicious frozen pizza! He said, "wow, this pizza is GOOD!" I said, "the people that made this pizza put it all together and froze it...I just heated it up in the oven." He said, "well, you heated it up perfect!"
-I helped Jack put a cup of water outside overnight to see if it would freeze. It did! A little while later, Jack had poured some water on top. I asked him, "why did you pour water on top?" He said, "to see what would happen...every scientist has to guess and try!"
-James was fussing and Jack said, "stop fussing you crazy toddler!" Then James said, "I'M NOTTA TODDLER!"
-gross, but true: James went poop on the little potty. I left the bathroom to get some wipes, and when I came back, Potter (our dog), was in the bathroom. I got her out then realized she ate the poop! Once I made it known throughout the house what had happened with my disgust...James walked in with the saddest little face and said in the saddest little voice, "Potter ate my poopoo. She ate my BIG one."
-James yells from the other room, as me, Jack, and Jason finish our dinner and continue talk to each other, "stop talking peoples!" Then Jack says, "Oh no, he's up to something bad."
-James said, "you're a BAD BABY, Jack...you take a marble out!" (Jack has to remove a marble from his good marble cup when he does something bad).
-Jack said, "I hope Emma keeps her promise about marrying me." I asked him what he thinks being married means. He said, "it's like being best friends but you're always together."
-Jack said, "James, you could take a deep breath instead of fussing. Taking deep breaths calms your brain down."
-James clapped his hands together and said, "I want to pray to God!"
-Jack heard another kid in a neighbor's backyard, but could not see him. Jack said, "My name is Jack, my favorite color is blue, and I'm 5 years old! What's your name?"
-Jack came from outside and described the game he was playing while outside. I asked if he was playing with Emrick (the neighbor) and he said, "no, with James! James is my side step!" (in a bit of a country voice).
-James excitedly ran out of my bedroom yelling, "chickens...chickens!" I looked outside on the back deck and there were three pigeons! :)
-James said, "I sad Mommy!" I asked, "why are you sad?" He said, "because Jack went to school."
-Jack used his craft table to create an air hockey table. He made handles and a puck using tinker toys. When Jason got home, Jack asked, "do you want to play hockey? I made one like we played at Peter Piper Pizza!" Jason said, "oh, you made an air hockey table?!" Jack, "yah, but mine doesn't have the air, that's why it's just 'hockey'!"
-James didn't have underwear on and started to grab himself down there. I said, "James, do you need to go potty?" He said, "no." I said, "then why are you grabbing yourself?" He said, "because it's my favorite penis."
-James, "I want to wake up Mommy." Me, "James, you're waking up too early...you need to try to close your eyes and go back to sleep when you wake up this early." James, "sorry Mom."
