out the mouths of babes

My kids in a big chair at Shelburne Museum. I {heart} them.

There is something about the way a 2-year-old says things that just can't help but bring a smile.  Lately Katie has been saying all sorts of cute things. Like:

"That's awesome!" (After riding her trike down a slightly inclined drive way.  Also said when she saw that Ana painted Dave's fingernails pink.)

"I'm a princess!" (while she was twirling in her frilly pink skirt and tiara.)

"I'm tickling you, Mama." (I was on my hands and knees mopping the floor and she was climbing on my back with her hands wrapped around my waist.)


Of course, sometimes a 7-year-old can say things that surprise you too.

Ana had her first big bike crash today and when we asked her what happened she answered,  "I was riding with my eyes closed and swerving and snoring like I was asleep." (I guess she was getting tired...)

Also, a few weeks ago I was telling Jack that he can't take things that don't belong to him. I told him that stealing is against the law. Ana chimed in, "Yeah. The cops will take you to Juvie!" .... Uh, what? I laughed right out loud and asked her where she heard about that. (I guess there was a kid her in class whose Dad was a cop.)


Never a dull moment!
