It seems like the kids are always saying the funniest, sweetest, silliest, most precious things. The challenge is to find a way to write it all down before the moment passes! Here are a few of my favorites from recent months…
—————————————-
Addison: (talking about a tree in Gramy’s yard) “It still needs precious care, like we do.”
Addison: “How did it feel to be created by God? Who was the first baby born in this world?”
Caden: (thinking about how to make sure the items on his wish list are specific enough) “Mom, we should put a picture of it on the list… and the name of the store where you can find it!”
Caden: (thinking about how to make sure I can tell which items on his wish list are his) “Mom I wrote it in blue, underlined it, put my name on it and drew arrows.”
Addison: (when I asked “How about swirl bread with cream cheese for breakfast?”) “Wasn’t it nice of Mom to be caring of me? Yeah! Thank you for thinking of me Mommy!”
Caden: (the day after the school fundraiser at McDonald’s) “Mom, I want to go to Old McDonald’s for dinner again!”
Addison: (describing the wrinkly way my face looked once my cleansing mask had dried) “Mommy, you look like an old woman with ripples.”
Addison: (telling Travis about her new strategy for not being afraid of the dark) “Tonight I said a prayer. I asked for the father of the world to do a miracle… to help me fall asleep fast.”
Caden: (in response to me saying it was my job to get them to school on time) “But Mooooom, Getting to Kindergarten on time is NOT important to ME.”
