Quotables

I hear over and over again that I need to write down the cute things the kids say because I will forget them someday. :-) I recently looked back in an old journal and laughed aloud at some of the quotes I had completely forgetten. I'm so glad I wrote them down.

And so in the interest of keeping these documented, here are a couple that made me smile this weekend:

  • While making homemade pizza for our family pizza and movie night, Li'l B was working with me to add all the toppings. His little mouth was moving far faster than his fingers as he chattered and asked me endless questions that I could never have possibly dreamed up concerning pizza preparations! My favorite question came as we spread the cheese on the pizza: (B) Mommy, is this pepper john cheese? (Me) Nope, not pepper jack, Buddy. It's mozzarella. ;-)

  • And then there is Ellie. She asks over and over if she can have "lemontines" for a snack. It's too cute to correct her that the fruit is actually called a clementine.

  • I have the same response when Li'l B calls booster seats "blooster seats." It makes me smile every time, and so I just let it go.

  • And while Ethan doesn't really talk yet, I hope I never forget how he frantically rubs his chest with his hand (sign language for please), while pointing frantically to what he wants so badly (yes, this is accompanied by grunts and groans as well ;-).) It's so stinkin' cute that I find myself wandering in an out of rooms with him trying to figure out what he so desperately needs. ;-) I'm not sure if he knows half the time, but he seems to enjoy having mommy in tow anyway... :-)

Somehow right now it seems insane to suggest that I could forget those moments. Somehow I know I will unless I make a point to remember. How I love those little crazies! :-D
