They said What?!

The kids have been so funny and some of the things they say is hilarious:

Mommy: Katie did you hit Mikey?
Katie:  No, I punched him!

Katie:  Just a few more couple minutes.
She says this whenever she wants to stay up later or play with her toys more.

From her teacher.  While planting a plant at school the teacher said you have to tuck the plant into the dirt and press the dirt gently around it.  Katie said while tucking in her plant: Nite nite plant.

Mikey when he saw me in my dress for the wedding: Wow Mom.  You look perfect! Beautiful!

Mikey when I hopped in the shower with him with a shower cap on: Is that so you don't ruin your pretty hair?!

Mikey when I say yes to him or give him what he wants: You're the best Mom ever!!!!!!!!! (Followed by a hug and a kiss!)

Mommy:  Katie, you're not my little baby anymore.  You're such a big girl!
Katie:No I'm not.  I'm just a little big kid!

Things that come out of a two year old's mouth

Tonight Scott had a work function after work so he didn't get home until really late which meant that I was on my own for dinner, baths, and bed.  Since the days seem a little longer when Scott works late, I try to extend everything we do.

The kids ended up taking a longer than usual bath.  I think it was at least 30 minutes maybe a few minutes longer that they were submersed in water.  Once we were done and I was ready to get them out of the tub Katie looked at her hands and noticed they looked all wrinkled and shriveled up.

Katie: (Looking at me with concern and with big puppy dog eyes and a whimpering mouth.  Although she didn't say anything I knew what she was thinking.)

Jess:  "Oh, Katie.  It's okay.  You were in the tub so long that your fingers got all wrinkled.  It's just from the water.  As soon as we get you all dried off and wait a few minutes your fingers will be back to normal."

Katie (While looking at her hands and fingers and shaking them to try and get the wrinkles off):  "Eeeehhhhh"

Jess (In hindsight, probably not the best thing to say at this point):  "Katie, your fingers are all wrinkles up.  Let's look at your toes.  Do you think they are all wrinkled too?"

Katie (Sitting in the tub, takes her foot out of the water and looks at the bottom of her foot and she just completely loses it as soon as she sees her wrinkled foot!)

Once we got her dried off and in PJ's and read two books, she looked at her hands and said "All better Mamma!"

Funny Phrases

Scenario 1:
Mikey:  "I am sick of Katie.  You need to return her!"

Jess:  "Mikey, that is not a nice thing to say.  Why are you sick of Katie.  Where am I supposed to return her too?"

Mikey:  "Well, I don't care.  Take her back to the mail box!"

Scenario 2- courtesy of my mom while the kids were at my parents home.

The kids sleep on these soft bed cots in the office when they stay at my parents.  One morning Katie woke up early and snuck into bed to cuddle with my Dad.  Mikey woke up and immediately goes to the bathroom.  He then walked into my parents room and saw that my Dad was still sleeping (he didn't see Katie), he then went back to the office and then looked around the house but did not see Katie.  He walks back into my parents room and is at this point crying hysterically saying "I lost Katie baby!"

Scenario 1:
Daddy: "Katie, you're such a little peanut!"
Katie: "No, I'm a big peanut!"

Scenario 2:
On the days when Katie takes a nap, she will usually stay awake for another hour and get some one-on-one special time with Scott and I.  She is always very sweet and lovable during this time.  I gave her a close hug and smelled the back of her neck.....no more baby smell!

Mommy:  "Katie, you don't have that baby smell anymore.  You lost that baby smell!"
Katie: "Ut-oh, where did it go?! We have to find it."

Indeed, we have to find it, but I'm afraid it's lost forever.  She's just not a baby anymore.

Quote of the day~

Mikey (while whining): "But I don't know where my manners are!"

Funny phrases

Mikey has been a little congested and we think it might be allergies.  While we wait a few days to see if it goes away or if it's here to stay and he needs some medication he's been fighting a cough and has had lots of boogies.  While getting him to blow his nose and get those boogers out he said....

"Mom, put those boogies back in my nose.  I don't want to breathe!"

At night time he has been super sweet and says:

"Good night, Katie, sweet heart."

He really has some great manners if I do say so myself and frequently says please, thank you and your welcome....but he adds a little something extra and will say:

"Your welcome, cutie pie."


Warms my heart to hear him say that!


We also talk a lot about eating healthy foods to grow big and strong and have big muscles and happy bellies and the other day Mikey said:

"I don't want healthy food, I want sick food!"
