The Things They Say...part 3

WE LOVE IT WHEN THEY LEARN TO TALK; WE HATE IT WHEN THEY ACTUALLY DO.

Cora learned to kiss. It is more of an open mouth, suck on your chin thing, but a kiss none the less. Today, she leaned in to kiss Chris, followed by her latest word, "Ick." Now, how sweet is that.

Next, I realized why Chris is insistent that I rinse all dishes before they go in the dishwasher. This would have been better realized before Cora started eating the day old ketchup off a plate.

Finally, I am wondering if her ability to throw a fully filled bucket of water from the bathtub across the bathroom is any sign of her future softball prowess.

Hmmm...Children leaves us wondering.

DANCING QUEEN

Loren was watching some break dancing video. For the singing, I am assuming it was the Herbie Hancock Beverly Hills Cop song, but it could be just about anything.

Their Eating Habits

Cora loves bananas. I took these because of her spiking hair. She has more hair than Loren did.


Loren is almost messier than Cora. Here, she decided that she want to eat chocolate out of bowl like a dog. Hence the chocolate all over her face. All I can say, "That's my girl!"

The Things They Say...

When discussing our bird's nest, Loren and I had the following exchange: 'Mama, where do the baby birds go after they leave the nest?" Well, honey, it is kinda like when you go to college, they will go away and come back just to visit. "Mama, I'm gonna go to community college so I never have to leave." CRAP!

The Aforementioned Birds: For a few years now, we've had a family of robins come and nest. This year was really excited because Loren can understand the entire process. This year, we were lucky enough to watch the birds get pushed out of their nest. The fledgling process was amazing, which led us to the above conversation.

And the feelings about honesty change daily...

Not sure if we should keep honesty as a virtue. Today's comment is... "Mama, are you pregnant again or just have a fat belly?"

With children like that, I am glad it is just a non-toned stomach.

WHY I LOVE MY GIRLS

I love to watch Cora sleep. She just snuggles in there and falls asleep.


Loren and her wisdom knows what to do with the AbMaster. Jungle Gym...New Gymnastic Apparatus.

More Reasons I Love My Girls

Step One:
Loren was asked to clean her room. "Mama, will you help me?" "Honey, it is your mess, so you clean it up." "Why do I help you clean up after dinner?" Because we are a family, and families help eachother. "Well, then, Mama will you help me clean my room?" Dang it, she is smart.

Step Two:
After Daddy said there were too many females in our house, Loren said,"Well, I think there are too many boys." Daddy responded, "There is only one boy." My brilliant girl said, "Daddy, that is one too many." I LOVE SOUND LOGIC.
