My 3 old says some funny things…

Yesterday my mom was a little under the weather and lost her voice. When I told my son this (and he tried talking with her on the phone) he said, “Who took Grandma’s voice?” “She talks like a mice.”

Last night before bed, my sleepy son laid in my bed with us. I love to cuddle with him, but he just kept putting his feet on me and it was driving me nuts! When I finally said to move he said, “But Mom, I’m just loving you.” Geez. Melts my heart!!!

This morning, we had a loud thunderstorm. My son came into my bed to snuggle. It was so cute… because of the loud thunder, he was cuddled next to me with one hand and thumb in his mouth and the other hand tightly covering his ear!

The other night we went out to dinner. The kids were both so well-behaved we were able to have a really nice time. When we were leaving and packing up our things, my son walked over to the table next to us, a young couple, and said, “I’m going to see grandma!” The couple laughed and chatted with him briefly. Kids are great because when they’re excited about something, they can’t help but share their joy! We should all be so open.

Kids are cute. They drive us crazy, stress us out, take all of our energy, but if we don’t take a minute to remember all of their little sweet comments and nuances, we will miss out on what makes children so wonderful.

Note: Here are a couple more from our car ride this morning:  I said we are going to Wal-Mart… He said “Walnut?
I told him that his Daddy had to go to  jury duty… He asked, “Why does Daddy have dirty dirty?”
