Story Time

Driving home from somewhere at the end of a long morning M, Justi and E are sitting in the back of the car and M asks Justi for a story. Justi has a habit of mixing up her stories a bit, usually not too much, but just enough to make us laugh. This time she didn't really mix it up, she just had a funny transition- The story of choice is The Three Bears. Can't go wrong with this one.
So, as the story goes on after the bears discover their soup, and chairs have been used they continue into the bedroom to discover their beds have been as well. When Justi got to this part: "When they got to little bear's bed who do you think was in it?...Well, following the general trend of things, Goldilocks was in his bed..." Which I couldn't help but giggle about - as if M would know what follow the trend of things meant.
Well, maybe she kinda gets it now?

We'll just call it a vocab lesson for M- I'm pretty sure she got the jist of what I was saying :)

well, following the general trend of things, M WILL pick up on it! And surprise you by using the phrase again!

Stranger Danger

Ok. So, we've talked to M about strangers a bit, telling her to be safe and what not. A couple of times she brings it up when we say no she can't do something and she says "because there are stangers?" or some such. We haven't talked about it recently, but apparently the message stuck: We were at Wal-Mart, had just finised checking out and J went to use the restroom and M wanted to get a drink from the water fountain -I was still a few steps behind, so M said "Mom will you come a little bit closer?" and I said yes, and she continued "because you wouldn't want a stranger to grab me." I smiled and said "No I wouldn't like that." And she said "You would say 'oh no! someone has taken my child!" At which point I couldn't help but laugh and tell her how much I loved her.

Caught Bare Bottomed.

Yesterday I went to retrieve my kids from playing in the backyard with the neighbors....When I round the corner I behold my 5 year old daughter with her shorts baring her bottom to the 6 year old neighbor boy. Me:  M!  E!  It is time to go home. now! M:  E did it too! (while sheepishly pulling her shorts back up and E snaps his head around to look at me with big eyes and "O" mouth) WHY?

Veggie Tales

so, because i'm lazy and am terrible at getting up in the mornings M and my morning routine is not the best, but it works for us. I get up when I hear her yell "mooom. daaaad. mooom. blah blah goober gibber." I get her out of bed, and still sleeping I go to the kitchen grab cereal or left over pancakes, or multi-grain bar for breakfast, put M in her highchair or more often just on the floor with a bowl and instantly she says "tales" and I turn on the one of our veggie tales movies and lay on the couch until my brain is working. well...just the other day it was the same routine, but when the movie ended I watched M disappear around the back of the couch and in a few seconds I see her hand reach up and grab the remote of the back of the couch, walks back around, hands me the remote and says "tales" and looks expextantly at the t.v. It was soooo funny and adorable. sometimes lately she comes up to me and says "remote?" and then "I dunn...
