Lol @ My Kids!!...

I'm sure you've read posts before about my son being little & after seeing me not happy about burned garlic bread talking about me being 'black toast intolerant' because he saw the Lactaid commercials on tv & thought that's what they were saying instead of lactose intolerant, right?

Here's a sweetie-pie thing though:

I picked the kids up from camp Saturday morning after they'd been gone for a full week. That night when everyone was getting ready for bed Mike asked me to come into his room. After washing my face, etc. I went in there & he just wanted a hug. He asked me how come I never come in there at night anymore & I said, "Well, buddy, you're almost 12 years old so I just figured you didn't really want me to anymore, but I always kiss you good-night before you go upstairs, right?" He said, "Well, yeah, I don't really want you to come in here every night I guess, except for sometimes, you know, when I still do." I think he missed me more than he thought he was going to!

My husband and son were bouncing around on our bed yesterday after we got home from church playing superheroes. DH was out-of-town helping his brother move all day Saturday, so DS was extra clingy. My husband says that he needs to go to the bathroom and he'll be right back. Here's pretty much how it went:
DH: OK buddy, daddy has to go potty. I'll be right back.
DS: Can I come?
DH: No. Daddy likes privacy when I go potty.
DS: But you come with me
DH: Well that's because you just learned how to go potty and need help
DS: OK... Dad? Want me to wipe you?
DH: No, that's okay buddy. I'll be out in a minute.

I was in the other room and literally lost it laughing b/c he had the EXACT same intonation that my husband uses when he's helping my son in the bathroom!

oh yes. My two and half year old will sit in her bath and go, "No, no. That's a rock, that's a tree. Rock. Tree." Then she will make her voice all gravelly, "Rock Tree" It's a line from the Iron Giant. Makes me laugh every time.

She just got a leapster lap top computer from her grandparents. So now if she tries to touch my computer I am working on I will tell her to go get her own. So yesterday she points at my laptop, "Mommy's pooer." So I clearly enunciate Com-Pu-Ter, so now it's "Mommy's pooper." Sigh...

Sticks and stones can break your bones but they are really cool to play with!
I like how my grand daughter would find anything and pretend it was her cell phone. One day she was "helping" grampa in his office, on his lap with something up to her ear babbling away. I said something to her a couple times and she ignored me. My husband then said, "hush grama,, cant you see shes on her calculator?"

My 3 yo son really likes to watch Miracle on Ice. Esp. in the winter, we watch it almost daily. Then, the kitchen becomes the ice arena and his bedroom the looker room. We take turns being the "coach" and giving the speech Herb Brooks gave before the USA team played the Russians in the 1980 Olympics, then he will hum and walk slowly down the hallway (like in the movie) then "skate" onto the kitchen floor "ice" and play hockey. It is quite amusing.
