Kids Say the Darndest Things

Thought I'd jot down a few moments that keep replaying through my mind and bring a smile to my face.

As we were putting McKenna down for bed this evening, after her story I was chatting with her and trying to tell her how proud I was that she went "potty" at the church. She put her hand on my shoulder and then with her other hand held it up while she very seriously said, "Stop Mom, Stop talking." She then proceeded to very clearly tell me how proud she was of me for putting my poopoos and peepees in the potty and chocolate (which is her reward). It was so cute and funny at the same time, very hard to keep a straight face as it was a very serious moment.

Ever since the ultrasound last Tuesday McKenna daily points to my belly and asks, "baby boy?" Well the other day Tyler pulled my shirt up to see my ever growing belly button and then also repeated several times, "boy" to which McKenna came over and observed my belly being, "a big one" and then asked if she could have a big one too. I told her she needed to find a daddy first before she could have a big one and then she asked if her belly had a baby boy. Once again, I encouraged her to find a daddy and then told her she should wait another 20 years.

During our travels Tyler found a love for slides at Aunt Audrey's house. Not just little slides, but big tall ones. She'll go down by herself flying. Since I'm one of the nursery teachers she's been coming to with me. She has taken to it so well, although she doesn't much like me to hold the other kids and will come stake her claim if she catches me. Anyway there is a small slide that we pull out for the kids to play with, I was surprised to see her climb up by herself and sit at the top and even go down. The biggest surprise came when she sat at the top and Mya who is almost 3 yrs old was waiting for a turn asked her to go. Tyler let out the biggest scream letting everyone know who was Queen...for the day anyway.
