"Those inspire me, they’re very inspirationing"
— Caira, age 4, while gazing at the fudge I was packing up to mail
So, Garrett, what do you think of chocolate?
Caira was singing a song about Christmas, I don’t remember it all (hey, it was about 15 minutes long) but one part cracked me up: ”I told Santa I’m not bad I just have a lot of energyyyyyyyy then he got me presents ANYWAY!”.
lol
The baby’s newest word: Tasty. Oh yeah, definitely my kid :D
Me: So you like beans, Garrett?
Garrett: Yap
Me: Does the [hot wheels] car make them taste better?
Garrett: Mmmhmmm *vigorous nod*
Smart alec. Takes after his sister already.
Such grace and poise has few rivals
My thinkgeek.com catalog came in the mail today (for me I might add)… my four year old snatched it and spent an hour thumbing through it oohing and aahing. She now wants a wampa rug for her room. And some light saber chopsticks. And a tauntaun sleeping bag. And that was before she got to page 6. I ended up just leaving her to it and asked her to make a list. lol
Caira just made kissy noises, flung a tater tot onto the baby’s high chair tray and then exclaimed “LOOK he caught it! Good boy, good boy!”. Garrett is too busy devouring the potato lump to be offended by being treated like a dog.
Caira: I wish they didn’t take my tail when I was born :(
Me: Caira, I already told you - you did not have a tail
Becca: [pats Caira’s shoulder] It’s okay, Caira. Accept your body.
Caira is 4, Becca is 3.
Caira: When will he be big enough to milk?
Me: What?
Caira: The cat, when will it be big enough to milk
Me: Uh, I think you’re a little confused. You can’t milk a cat
Caira: Sure you can, you just [flips the cat over, makes squishing noises while making little pinching motions]
Turns on ‘Meet the Parents’ was on earlier. lol
"EW, that is not what Chinas eat! Why are they showing that?! It’s not TRUE"
— Caira, discovering that not everything you see on t.v. is true
"This is a great snack for when you have dirty hands"
— Caira, on why she’s having yogurt. No answer on why not just wash the hands.
My four year old made turkeys out of Oreos, candy corn and a malted milk ball … I think the icing eyeballs are a little big but hey, if I were a turkey I think my face would look just like that around Thanksgiving time.
