An Assortment of Cute Stuff...

I've been scribbling down all sorts of sweet and funny things the kids have come out with these past several weeks. My grocery lists are cluttered with heart-warming anecdotes and silly quotes. There's no great way to organize all of this, but I wanted to share it anyway...

Big Sis: Saw a woman in labor on one of her children's videos. She commented, "Yeah, she looked pretty distressed."

Buddy: "Since Great Grandma died, there is an empty place that will never be filled up."

When I told Sis that my induction date was going to be postponed, she was indignant. "Is that docor a man or a woman?!" she demanded. I told her he was a man. "Well, HE doesn't know how it feels."

Sis asked me why I needed to get stitches after delivering Papoose. I told her that I pushed a nearly-ten-pound baby out of my body, and that my skin tore a little. "Well, I didn't want to hear THAT!" she said.

Sis was wondering why on earth we had to read the gory song of Deborah in Judges. She asked, "Is it a BALLAD or something?"

Buddy was coloring Easter eggs at Grandma's. I told him that he had to be careful not to fill the bowls with too much dye. He answered, "I know, Mommy. When we put the eggs in, the water is going to be DISPLACED."

The day I arrived home from the hospital, I brought Baby Boy on a special walk up our road (just the 2 of us). He was elated and said with so much affection, "I love holding you hand, Mommy!"

I decided to put a spin on one of Baby Boy's catechism questions. Usually I ask him "Who made you?," and he answers, "God." This time I asked, "Who made our baby?" He answered, "By loving Him and doing what He commands."

Buddy: "When I get my eye caught on a book, I stick to it like a gecko!"

Baby Boy said uncertainly, "Mommy, you can't nurse with your elbows?"
