A brief-yet-ongoing journal of all things Carmi. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll reach for your mouse to click back to Google. But you'll be intrigued. And you'll feel compelled to return following your next bowl of oatmeal. With brown sugar. And milk.
I've wanted this for my whole, entire life!Almost instantly, my concept of time through his eyes changed. No, he had not literally been waiting for a LeapPad since the day he was born.

Last evening I was visiting with my best friend and my godson and he calls me Auntie Peapanne, he walked up to me gave me a kiss goodnight and looked at my belly and said "Baby Pan Auntie Peapanne?" I love the perspective of a 2 year old. It made my heart jump a beat.
ReplyDeleteI try to keep track of all the cute/funny things my kids say, but one that comes to mind on reading your post is how when she doesn't get her way, or is having a hard time with something, she will come out with "It's *hard* being 4!"
ReplyDeleteIf she only knew how great she has it! :)
Happy Birthday Noah!!!
My nephew, aged about 4: I'm feeling sorry for myself.
ReplyDeleteMe (concerned): Why's that, then?
Nephew (looking at me as if I'm a halfwit): Because nobody else is feeling sorry for me, of course!
My 14 year old cousin baby sat his younger siblings for a day while mom worked. When she got him, he told her, "Thank God you're home. Now I know why so many moms are alcoholics."
ReplyDeleteI don't know how accurate that is.. lol but I'm glad he now knows how hard it is.
My kids are always saying things that make me chuckle.
ReplyDeleteOne I always remember and that makes me laugh again every spring was my cousin, when she was little she asked me what kind of flowers were in the front yard and I said "Tulips"
ReplyDeleteShe looked at the petals and shook her head and said, "No, I think these are three-lips."
One of my favourites from my daughter, when she was 6.
ReplyDeleteWe were playing a bedtime game about how much we loved each other. She told me she loved me to the moon and back....but sometimes, when I made her mad, she only loved me to the park.
