2-13-2012 Buckling James' seat belt. Mom: "You need to learn to do this yourself." James: "We're gonna learn as we go."
2-8-2012 Mikey was looking at a picture of me on the computer. "That's Mom. Mom is tired."
2-1-2012 James got a song stuck in my head. "I like to moo it moo it. I like to moo it moo it!"
1-26-2012 We were trying to get Mikey to sit and poop on the potty today. Doug grabs the iPad and tries to lure him into the bathroom with it. He stood his ground pretty well for a few seconds then he declared, "I can't resist." And hopped on the toilet.
1-26-2012 James: "Mom, shoot James."
Me: "I would rather not shoot you."
James (now slightly agitated): "No! You come shoot James!"
What did he really want me to do? "Shoot" James through the basketball hoop.
1-13-2012 Me: "James, you're a cutie."
James: "No. Mom's a cutie." (singing) "Mom is a cuuu-tie."
James: "No. Mom's a cutie." (singing) "Mom is a cuuu-tie."
1-11-2012 This afternoon:
James: "Can I have the iPad?"
Me: "Sorry, Dad has it at work."
James: "No! Leave James' iPad alone!"
Fast forward several hours to dinner. (I figured he had forgotten all about it.)
Me: "James will you say a prayer?"
James (looking around): "Where's Dad?"
Me: "He will be back tomorrow."
James: "NO! My iPad!"
For a minute there I actually thought he was missing his Dad.
10-21-2011 At the park: Mikey "It's Poop!" James: "Of course"
10-21-2011 Laying in bed this morning I hear the boys fighting: James: "GET OFF!" Mikey: "NO! YOU GET OFF!" James: "NO YOU GET OFF!" Mikey: "NEVER!"
10-2011 Doug was having a serious talk with Mikey about waking everyone up at 5:30 am. Mikey replied "Do you hate that Dad?"
9-2011 James walked up to me, pushed my face into his chest and said "Razz it Mom!"
9-26-11 Mikey peed on himself and told me it was "penis water"
09-11 Mikey says that Willy eats "circles" for dinner.
