So I wanted to comment on some of the things that I’ve heard various kids say over the past month.
First off – the other day when my friend Brook was over trying to fix our van, he had 3 of his kids with him. After awhile of them sitting in the back of his truck, they made their way into our house to play with our kids. The addition of 3 kids to our 4 (at around bedtime) made the house a bit hectic, not even considering the broken-footedness of it all.
So as Carolyn was getting our kids off to bed, she was going to put in a movie for the other kids. So as she’s trying to get S. off to bed, he’s not wanting to go, and one of the little girls (age 5 or so) says something like “You need to go to bed, and then we’re going to watch Scooby Doo”. She wasn’t even being malicious or anything just kind of being the little mom that many girls that age are. This naturally set him off and he cried and screamed for like 20 minutes….
Non-related, but several days later, I wake up in the middle of the night and he is screaming his head off. So I amble up there and after I get him to calm down (a little bit) he says “
Then last week he was out there with me helping me while I was working on the deck. And of course by helping me I mean that he was standing around while I worked. So he’s out there for awhile (maybe 10 minutes) and then announces “This is hard work – I’m going inside”
GOOD. TIMES!
