Dinner was a Riot!
Tonight at dinner, we conversed about a myriad of topics from Presidents (J. has a Presidents placemant),to what was for dinner to what went on at gym class.
First up, George Washington. The kids couldn't figure out why they could see George Washington on tv, but not in real life. We reminded them that we saw his burial place near his home. O. said to J., "Don't you remember when were in George Washington World w/ Aunt T.?" Like Mount Vernon is like Disney World!
Secondly, K. was asking who wanted bacon bits on their salads and J. said, "Absolutely NOT!" and covered his bowl. O. said, "Come on, they decorate the salad!"
Enjoy your evening!

Age and Thinness
Today J. and I are hanging out together. E. is sleeping and O. is with Daddy shopping. Perfect rainy afternoon to hang out and get something accomplished! Still working on that!
Anyway, J. gave me a chocolate bunny that he got from Easter to open up. He asked me if I would like to have some. He's always good about sharing! I told him no thank you. He kept asking, so finally I said, "No thank you! I don't want to get fat!" And he said, "Well, I think you're pretty skinny, Mom." And then he amended his statement and said, "I think, for your age, that you're pretty skinny."! So, I'm guessing I was either fatter or skinnier when I was younger! LOL!

El Nail Salono
My middle daughter is a diva. She's 4, but she's a diva. She's into Princesses, hair, glitter, makeup and nail polish. She doesn't wear makeup, but knows that it's important in looking good. But, her father and I do allow her to wear nail polish. We of course approve the colors first.
She keeps her polishes in a little metal case. Today she brought them out, and proceeded, in her pretend world, to say, "Would you like to have your nails done? I can do nails, toes, and ocho, sinco, nuevo, gracias" and kept saying spanish numbers as if she was talking to someone in spanish!
Adios, Amigos! ;)

Attitude of a 1 year old
My one year old is rather vocal. She is a HUGE mimicker, and repeats everything you say.
So, tonight, my older daughter didn't want to eat dinner, and so E. turned to her and said, "Via, shuh up and eat!" Hmmm, guess she's heard THAT before!
Then, I'm trying to work on a project, and I have the gate up so I don't get any little wanderers in. Well, E. came over and was trying so hard to pull the gate up. I went over and asked her what she wanted, and she said, "Gate up!" I told her no, that I wasn't going to pull it up, and she said something unintelligible, but it had a touch of meanness to it, so I told her that she wasn't allowed to talk to me that way. She put her finger up to her mouth and said, "Shhh! Ok?" "Shhh!" and walked away. Needless to say, she is NOT happy w/ me! And it's the funniest thing!!!!!

The microphone and other latest stories
O. has a Disney Princess cash register that has a microphone, so she can say, "Price check on eggs!" Although, she doesn't say that! She doesn't know anything about that. No, she sits at her desk and in her little world, she pretends that she is in school. And she says into the microphone, "So and So, please come down to the office. You are in big trouble and your mom is going to be really mad at you." And continues on this tirade about what this kid did, and how much trouble he's in! And the minute I make eye contact w/ her, she buttons right up!
Oh, and the other day, we were driving to school and she was talking about something. She was off on some tangent, and she said, "Well Mom, it's complicated." WHAT?! She's 4!!!!! How the heck does she know what that word means?! Well, it turns out that she has no clue! Hahahahah! She just heard it somewhere and you know how kids are like sponges, she just sucked that word right in to use later!
J. came home from school yesterday and said that his friend [at school] was 'impressed' that he has watched every Star Wars movie except one. And that this friend has only watched the second one. But, that was his word, not the friend's! His friend just said, "Wow!", but J. said that he was impressed. I'm impressed that he knew what that word meant and that he used it properly in a sentence!
When my youngest is getting yelled at, or talked to about her behavior and she doesn't like what you're saying, she'll put her little tiny index finger up to her mouth and go, "Shhh!"!!!!! You just can't help but laugh! LOL!

Medicine?
O. has been on medicine these last few days, and after her last dose, she asked if she had to take any more. I told her no, that she was finished. E. came up and said, "Medicine?" I said, "No, you're not sick. No medicine for you." In response to that, she pointed to her throat and started coughing! At 1 1/2!!!!! SO SMART!!!
