Kid Chat

These are silly little sayings...I am sure only a mother would love, but funny nonetheless.

A couple of days ago I announced to Porter I was going to quit as Mom for the day. I was tired. He could be in charge. His response: "But Mom! I already AM in charge. If Lane goes on the stairs I'll tell you." He was so serious and made me life, so I thought I would try it on Madison. She got a little upset and said, "Mom!" (with a big emphasis). "I don't wan't to be Mom, I want to be Madison!"

The twins have really gotten into singing lately. They don't know all the words, so sometimes when they're listening to us sing, they're a few words behind. Yesterday in church Madison was singing--and I mean singing! She was off-key and loud. Right in the middle of the song, she turns to Brant as if she is both surprised and amazed and very sincerely says, "Dad! I sing GOOD!"

Instead of telling me they are hungry, they have started saying, "Mom, my tummy is telling me that it needs some food!"

Yesterday Brant took Lane into nursery. He's at that really back stage where it's hard to keep in still through 3 hours, but he's only months away from being old enough to go to nursery. So, sometimes Brant takes him into nursery to entertain him. Of course, the twins are in their too. A little boy came up to Lane and just hit him. Brant watched to see what Lane would do. He looked around, picked up a toy and promptly hit him back. The boy started hitting Lane and then kicked him. Lane looked at him like he was an idiot and then walked away.
