Kids say the darndest things

lord almighty

he's 3.5 years old...

haa

Right now Dalton is doing this extremely adorable thing where he's convinced that our dog Maebelle's full name is actually Our Dog Maebelle and so he refers to her as "Our Dog" (dropping her last name).

Me: "What's her name?"
D: "OUR DOG!"
Me: "No silly it's Maebelle."
D: "OUR DOG! OUR DOG! OUR DOG!"

Very cute. Unfortunately he also thinks his name is "You" right now, which is also adorable, but sort of unfortunate too.

Henry won't say his name.

Ask him who his friends are, and he'll list them out for him. Ask him what his name is, and he'll say "Wyatt". (another boy in his class.)

I finally heard him say his name the other night, but he was making reference to one of the other train engines in a Thomas book.

He also calls all cats "Pye", who was our beloved cat.

Pye died this week and last night he pointed at the other cat ("Rocket") and went PYE!

Maybe we should rename the other cat Wyatt.

Pyeatt? :D

[driving through the mountains]
sylvie: [quietly] are we in the mountains?
me: yep.
sylvie [screaming] WE ARE NOT IN THE MOUNTAINS!!!!!!

Ask him who his friends are, and he'll list them out for him. Ask him what his name is, and he'll say "Wyatt". (another boy in his class.)

omg

This is hilarious. I mostly can't wait to have kids because they're the funniest.

x-post - lollllllllll

"OK, Sterling, this is your stuffed frog, this is your stuffed monkey, and this is your stuffed toast."
"Toast!" (pointing at frog)

"No no, that's the frog. This is the toast! Can you point at the toast?"

"Toast!" (pointing at frog)

"No, this is the toast! Here's the frog. Can you say 'frog'?"

[grabs stuffed frog, crawls across room, puts it on top of much larger rocking frog, points at them:] "Toast!"

I still think of the frog/toast mix-up often.

we've been reading "hop on pop" a lot recently. last week we were reading it and it was the "HE ME - he got me. JIM HIM - jim got him." page and evie said "jim jim!" and then just started cracking up like she said something hilarious then said "jim jim!" again and cracked up again. every time i tried to start reading again she'd interrupt with "jim jim!" and then laugh. so then i just read the rest of the book as "jim jim, jim jim jim jim jim jim jim jim" to make her laugh.

See? That's hilarious and awesome. jim jim! Evie otm.

Ohmigod Hop On Pop is Dalton's favorite book. "Hop POP! HOP POP!"

The "We FIGHT at NIGHT" part used to grab Beeps a little.

I mean, yikes.

what the hell are red ned ted and ed all doing in bed together is what i want to know

Also thinks Mrs Brown ought to be suspicious of what Mr Brown and Mr Black have been up to.

too young to worry about mr. blonde

i have a theory that the "ted" in "red ned ted and ed in bed" is supposed to be a self-caricature of theodore "ted" geisel aka dr. seuss. it doesn't look like a normal dr. seuss character.

apparently I STILL smell like peanut butter and grasshoppers.

"so God is like a robot that flies around in space with nobody inside it?"

^ after a couple of minutes of earnestly attempting an objective description of God

"so God is like a robot that flies around in space with nobody inside it?"

new board description/life motto imo

Ben, today, on that subject: "I'm God."

bookini

even on safe-search strict, a gis for boo-ini is pretty nsfw.

Owen, while watching a full moon come out from behind the fog:
"It's Werewolf time, baby!"

"so God is like a robot that flies around in space with nobody inside it?"

otm, kid.

i want to screen print that on the back of my hunter age 3 t-shirt

"mom your labia smells like goats" (my 3.5 yo)

omg waht?

"I want to take off your face and see your skeleton face!" = Sylvie's parting shot before bed last night.

Awesome and yet slightly scary.

Been working on spelling, synonyms lately.

ME: [Points to picture of trash can.] Now, what is that?
BEEPS: Trash.
ME: That's right! Now what else could it be called?
BEEPS: [Thinks hard.]
ME: Gggggaaa… Think about that day of the week when I run around the house bagging stuff up, taking it to the curb. What day is that? Ggggg…..?

[b]BEEPS[/]: Wednesday?

HAHAHA

got my first "daddy, help me!" today.

it's the longest sentence she's put together so far.

Got my first screamed "I NEED A FIRE TRUCK! FIRE TRUCK!" as he went to bed last night. I went in and gave him a fire truck and he was out like a light.

Little dude got a Thomas the Tank Engine set for his birthday. We set it up, ran the trains, pulled the cars, lost the boulders… we had a good time.

Man took one of this trains to bed with him and slept like a rock holding that thing. One of those OH COME ON cute moments that you think only happens in Hallmark commercials.

We bought a Thomas set for a friend's kit & she reported the same "train in bed" development - too cute!

Abby saw a boy playing with a football on Saturday morning, and asked for one all day long. "Foo-bah. Foo-bah. Foo-bah." So that night I took her and her brother out to the sporting goods store and bought them each size-appropriate footballs. At about two in the morning, she woke up screaming "Foo-bah! Foooooooo-BAH!" I couldn't find hers, but I managed to find the bigger one that I got for her brother. She snuggled up with it and went back to sleep.

Kid obviously, not kit xp

My wife and I are genuinely concerned about the amount of crap in my son's crib. It's like he sleeping in a toy box.

While I was changing a particularly nasty diaper this morning:

"Minnie Mouse butt."

as we drove home yesterday, "gangsta's paradise" was on the radio, and as it faded down to just the choir at the very end, evie asked "is this christmas music?"

Wait - she's old enough to be asking stuff like that?! Mind blown.

Wasn't this kid just born?

Last night, as we were putting her to sleep, Abby kept moaning "Pink binkie...gone! Blue binkie...gone!" which was weird because she had both of those binkies in her possession (alternating between mouth and hand). My best guess is that she's got some anxiety about losing them.

she's 2 years 4 months now
