My son looks adorable in a polo shirt. Right now he is wearing one... and not much else. He is also pulling a slinky around the house, running and giggling. True happiness. Oh, and now he's dancing to music that his Little People Farm makes.
I like being able to enjoy the little things in life through my kids.

RAWRRRRR
That is my dinosaur impression. You know the part in Jurassic Park where the fat guy is trying to get away with the frozen embryos and runs into the that cute dino that then shrieks and flares his neck-mane and spits the goopy stuff and then you die??
Well, my son is that cute/creepy dino.
He will come up to me and give me that innocent grin with dimples blaring and cock his head to the side... then I know he wants something or did something.
I pretend that all he wants is a Mama hug and kisses. And I send him on his way.
Oh, the irony. He's wearing a T is for Triceratops shirt today. But who doesn't love a triceratops?!

Fuzzy Head
No, this is not a new name-calling name that my daughter has picked up. This is Kira's brain on antibiotics. About 2 weeks ago I went to the doctor because of some swollen lymph nodes in my neck. He prescribed antibiotics AKA hugest horse pills everrrrr and off I go to recovery. Y'all, i had lost my bloomin' mind, which does not work well for working mama w/ lil ones. So I'm finally done w/ the pills, nodes are down, and the fog is clearing. I'm not a big medicine taker so i don't know what the deal was. Our weather has been pretty up and down too.
Ok, enough about me.
My boy is at that stage. The stage about learning boundaries and personal space.
Common example:
Lilia is playing with something. Lennox wants said something. Lilia says "No, brother!" Lennox hits or pushes sister. I give him "the look". He says "Nooooo." And puts himself in timeout.
This is the part of the show where Mama tries really hard not to laugh.
After about a minute I call Lennox back to the scene of the crime to say sorry and give hugs to Lilia and happiness ensues. I am always fascinated as to how much little ones absorb and understand. Right vs. wrong. Lilia is lying at times. About nothing specific. I will ask her if she took a nap today. She'll say yes. I check with my Mom. The answer is no. I don't know if she thinks she'll get in trouble or what. I do not like it.

Hollow Leg
Whoever came up with this saying was obviously referring to my son. I picked him up from daycare at 4:30ish where he was finishing his little snack. It is now 4:55ish and he is asking for "more eat". For real, little dude?!

Undercover
Why is it that kids hide in the oddest, smallest places? Is it for a sense of security?
Nearly everytime someone comes home my daughter says "I must go hide!" and dives under the coffee table or the kitchen table. As soon as the arrivee enters, she says "I can see youuuuu!!!" thus giving her whereabouts away.
Every morning as I am getting ready for work Lilia tells me that I am "prettyful". This morning: Mommy, you are sexy.
:shock: excuse me? where did you hear that?
L: :laughing: No where! I heard it from my own voice!
Oh my. Only PBS for you today, kid.
We get several squirrels on our back deck trying to eat the bird seed. The kids have taken it upon themselves to be the keepers and protectors of the birds and bird seed. NO! and GO! are yelled out to the squirrels over breakfast so much that I think that's what Lennox thinks they are called.

Funny Story
"Lennox just kicked me in the eyebrow!"
It's sayings like this, with just a tweak about them that cause a tattling to make Mommy try not to laugh while disciplining.
I know that all our of children say and do hilarious things. So to avoid being "that" parent, I have decided to start saving the real jewels of our day to day life with 2 little kiddos. Also so as not to forget myself how adorkable my little piggies were when they were just starting out, I am creating this live journal of sorts.
This is mostly for memory's sake, but if you need a little giggle, well then, enjoy!
