(Sometimes I write things and don't post them. I think because I want to reread them and make sure they're not dumb. But then sometimes I forget about them. I found this post sitting quietly in my drafts and I want to post it because these are things I want to remember my boys saying. They're blowing my mind with how their language has taken off lately, and I need to keep sharing this stuff!! I have the WORST memory of anyone I know, so if I don't blog it, it may be lost forever. So here is this....)
We talk a lot these days. Some of us more than others. And some of us say the most ridiculous things.
I'd like to share them with you.
Here are just a few things I hear on the regular.
"Kingston be nauny (naughty)" Because my Kyrie is a tattletale.
"No No Brother!" Kingston says with a finger pointed. Any time he comes near his toys.
"No Thank You." When I ask either child to take a nap, give a toy back, give me a hug, anything. Always the polite, "no thank you." Dave goes to pick someone up when they are playing. "No thank you daddy." And if he picks them up anyway, they keep saying it, but LOUD. "NO THANK YOU DADDY!"
And every time we're in the car... and I mean EVERY TIME, like one million times over, my children say, "Car get owie!" and then "Hold Mama hand. Hold Daddy hand." Because every time I stop the car, before I get out I say, "You have to hold mama's hand. Cars are dangerous. They can give you owies. Are you going to hold mama's hand?" And so, like the good little passengers they are, they like to remind me of this fact the entire car ride to wherever we might be going. Which is endearing on the 2 minute drives to the gas station, but not so much on the 30 minute drives. Less endearing the 167th time.
And one of my personal favorites:
"Carmen tooted."
Carmen is the dog next door. Who they occasionally see outside and have never touched. But they are obsessed with her. When there is a bike in the yard next door? "Carmen bike." She's not outside? "Carmen sleepin" Never mind the entire family that lives there and talks to them. And somehow they (Kyrie) knows at the ripe age of 2 that toots are funny. And even funnier when you blame them on the neighbor dog, apparently.
