New Quotes

We'll start with the most unbelievable quote. Kelly was in the tub this morning and I left for just a moment to get a drink of water. When I came back in the bathroom she said, "Hi! How ah ya?" I burst out laughing because, 1. it sounded ridiculous coming out of the mouth of a 16 month old and 2. it was just so darn cute! I said, "Hello Kelly. How are you?" She said, "good" and then continued eating bubbles.

Today Brian was helping Kate do something and I heard him say, "Come on kiddo you can do it! Come on Katie, you little sweetie heart."

Today Brian was also telling our 13 year old neighbor what to do, well it was more like he was ordering her around and yelling at her. After three warnings to stop bossing her around I put him in time out. A bit later we were in the house and he said to me, "I was just angry before. I had just had enough." I said, "enough of what?" Brian replied, "you." I had mixed feelings about this answer, part of me thought it was funny and part of me thought of sending him to time out again for talking fresh to me. He also told me yesterday that I should "calm down." I ignored that comment.

Today I overheard Kate talking to a worm she found. She told the worm to listen carefully and then she showed it around the yard. A little while later poor Kate sacrificed her knees and forehead to save the worm. She tripped on the rode while holding the worm, and instead of letting him go in order to break her fall, she held onto him and hit her head and knee on the pavement. The irony of the whole thing? When she fell her palm was up and when she hit the pavement with her head she squished the worm into her hair. When she stood up she was crying because she was hurt and because she couldn't find the worm. I pulled his lifeless body out of her hair and she carried him home. I guess there was no love lost though because soon after we got home I saw her pulling him apart...lovely! At that point I made her throw him away. May he rest in pieces...I know I know, that was awful!
