From the Mouths of Babes

Earlier this year, I started a quote book.  I don't want to forget the funny things my kids say!  I've also realized that I needed to be included on a couple of entries, as I've heard myself say things that only a mom of little ones would say (I hope!).  Here are some of my favorites from the past few months . . . .

Gretchen wanted her nails to be painted different colors:"I want a mitch-match on my paint nails."

Gretchen:  "God is not a lovie.  He's God."

Ryan commented on how he thinks he is losing his hair.  Rooke's response:  "Why is your hair falling out?  Is it because you're bending over so much?"

While making oatmeal raisin cookies with me, Gretchen asked, "Next time, can we make goldfish cookies?" (as in, the cheesy crackers!)

Rooke:  "Mom, you are not a kid who is interested in race cars.  You cannot instruct the racers.  You can only encourage them."

Mommy: "Go to sleep, Gretchen."

Gretchen: "I don't have good eyes for sleeping.  They keep coming open."

Rooke needed to go to the bathroom while he was riding his bike home.  His suggestion:  "We should knock on a stranger's door and ask them what their name is.  Then we will know them.  Then we can use their bathroom."

Mommy: "Don't put my breast pump in your mouth."

Rooke: "I tried to scratch my bum while I was jumping on the trampoline."

Mommy: "How'd that work out?"

Rooke: "I could do it!!"

Mommy: "Take the silly putty out of Bridgette's hair."

Rooke: "Can I step on Bridgette's head?"

Mommy: "No, but thanks for asking."

Bridgette was squinting from the sun, so our friend let her borrow her sunglasses!
