Things They Say...

My girls definitely keep me on my toes and laugh... Here is a she said what. Enjoy!

Melanie

This morning she gave me a big hug, then pulled away really fast, and said "Mom, where is the baby?". I pointed to my belly and said "right here". She says "I wasn't trying to squish him, I just wanted to give him a hug".

On my birthday, Melanie yells (from down the hall, as she was suppose to be napping) "Happy Birthday mommy! you're stinkin' cute!"

Melanie was doing something I didn't agree with, so I told her not to do it any more. I went to my bedroom to put something away and when I came back, she was doing that thing I told her not to do, again! I said to her: "Melanie, I thought we had this conversation 2 seconds ago". To which she replies "No mommy, it was 3 seconds ago". Wow!

Melanie was talking to me the other day, looking right at me. When I responded, she says "No mommy, I wasn't talking to you, I was talking to the baby." Yikes!

Mom: "What's going on in there?"

Melanie: "I'm just torturing Noelle"

Mom: "You are torturing Noelle?"

Melanie: "Yep, because she is laying on the floor and looks so cute!"

Melanie: "Mommy, Shhhh! The baby in your tummy is sleeping! He has his pajamas on and a rattle in his hand in your tummy!" (and for the record, we don't yet know the gender of the baby, Melanie just says "he" and "his" a lot while referring to the baby"

The other day, I sent Melanie into her room for something and I hear her exclaim "Holy Guacamole, Mom!" from her room (apparently she was excited that I opened her blinds for her).

Melanie: "I'll live under the ocean when I'm a mermaid. Mommy, you can turn into a mermaid too and live under the ocean. And the baby in your tummy, that's Flounder. He'll be a boy and be under the ocean too".

Mom: "Melanie, don't jump on your bed or their will be no cookies today".

Melanie (still jumping): "It's okay, I can have cookies tomorrow".

(A few minutes later) Mom: "Honey, don't jump on your bed, or it will break."

Melanie (still jumping): "That's okay mommy, then I'll just sleep in yours".

Side note... when your three year old says "Don't look at me mom!" I advise you to look! (just saying!)

Noelle

Yesterday, I told Noelle to go into her bedroom to get her clothes changed into her pajamas. On her way down the hall, she became distracted by her Ariel Mermaid Doll. I picked her up and took her to her bedroom... to which she started screaming "Ariel!!!! Ariel!!!!" She cried the entire time I changed her, then ran (full blast) into the hallway and picked up her Ariel. Instantly the water works where gone and she started giggling. Oh Brother!

Last week, I was mopping the floor on my hands and knees. I had made a fort in the living room for the kids, hoping it would keep them our of the kitchen. I was wrong. Noelle comes up next to me. She looks at me... looks at my bucket... looks at me, and (I kid you not), says "Cinderella" And giggles.
