Cute Kid Stuff

Things have been slow moving around here. Not too much excitement. But I do have a few tidbits to share with you.

As I re-read through some of these quotes, I realized that my children are fairly disgusting. I apologize....

While in a crowd of people

Me: Reagan, look out for Daddy, let me know when you see him

Reagan: (whining) I can't.... I don't know what he looks like!

Reagan: I am growing up and getting bigger so I don't pick my nose and eat my boogers anymore.

Me: That is wonderful

Reagan: Now I just pick my nose and throw my boogers on the ground.

Jefferson: Grant, I know why boys can't go in the girl bathrooms and girls can't go in the boy bathrooms.

Grant: Why?

Jefferson: Because boys and girls have different private parts

Grant: Well, they've got the same butts!

Jefferson: We're going to go see a movie at McMennamin's tonight

Reagan: what movie are we going to see?

Grant: Puss and Butts

I overheard Jefferson say: Grant, I made a discovery about our stinky breath. When it's cold outside and you breathe on me, your breath is more stinky. When we're inside where it's warm, your breath is not as stinky. So, the cold must make our breath stinkier! Hey, did you know, if we only brush our teeth, but not our tongues, we'll have extra stinky breath?

At this point I interrupt: Why on Earth would you want stinky breath? That's disgusting!!

Jefferson: Well mom, what if someone like a bully tries to push me or hurt me. I'll just breath on him. He'll smell a stink and never want to bother me again.

Me: Good point

After reaching into a container of nuts, I was about to toss them in my mouth when Jefferson says: Oh mommy, you're gonna love those nuts.... we sucked on them and unsalted them all for you

Reagan: if the baby is a girl I am going to watch her and play with her. I am going to change her diaper and take good care of her.

Me: and what if the baby is a boy?

Reagan: then you can do all those things!

One day Jefferson volunteered to put all the doll furniture back into Reagan's doll house. I checked on his job well done.

Me: wow, nice job Jefferson. But, why is everyone piled into one bed?

Jefferson: I wanted it to look just like our house.

(here's a picture of my sad reality)

  And after WEEKS, (we're talking since before Thanksgiving).... Grant's first loose tooth FINALLY fell out. Actually Jefferson yanked it out for him yesterday. He had one stubborn tooth! The permanent one is already there.  

Grant with his new smile.... He looks like a different person now. He was so happy! He put the tooth under the bed and checked it every few minutes to see if it had been exchanged for money yet. Cute!
