Knock Knock

E: Knock, knock.
M: Who's there?
E: Pineapple.
M: Pineapple who?
E: Pineapple in your mouth. That's a dark joke, for you and daddy.

What you can say at school

"At school we say 'what the what?' Because we can't say 'what the heck?' You say that in jail."

Guess who just moved to a toddler bed and is taking extra hours to fall asleep with the new-found freedom? Hint: it’s not me... #unplannednaps #lazysunday

I can't even...

Seashells

I asked E if he wanted to go looking for seashells with me along the beach. "Yes!" he said and took off. The first one he found he proudly showed me, then threw it as far as he could back into the sea. I guess that's as good a thing to do with them as any.

Greedy mama

E wakes up from a nap and he's all bright-eyed and still sleepy. Nostalgic for his baby days, I ask for a hug, he gives me a kiss instead. He's leaving the room and I ask again, and his response: "You already had a kiss already."

Paying closer attention that you think

E, when Lottie bites Amelia in The Little Princess: "Her is a bucket dipper!"

They've been talking about "bucket fillers" at his school recently--I guess he's really taking it to heart.

Ah, siblings

All weekend, H has been trying to pull down her pants to show us her butt. Tonight this happened:
M: H, pull your pants up. It's not appropriate. No one wants to see that.
E: I want to see that!

Mother’s Day

My little man wouldn't smile for the photo but we had a great Mother's Day celebration at his school this afternoon. He insisted on placing cheese on my crackers and then feeding them to me. I wasn't gonna say no. #oneluckymama #littlegentleman #yellowdinosaurs

Too quiet

M: (looks in backyard and can't see E anywhere) H, where's your brother?
H: I don't know, I think he went inside.
...
M: (finds E in garage playing with a dump truck full of sand) Where did all of that sand come from?
E: The beach!

Visit to a farm!

The kids got to ride a donkey and see a long-haired cow, an alpaca and a Vietnamese pot-bellied pig named Spike. Their favorite part? Petting the dogs, of course. Might as well have stayed in the city. Lol.

Easter cars!

In the jungle

Pulling up the driveway to GamGam and Dibby's house, E says, trembling, "I'm scared of tigers in the jungle!" Little did he know we'd find a snake on our mini-hike just hours after arriving!

The mind of a kid

M: "Your grandparents are going to eat you up this week!"
E: "Uh oh."

Luckiest mom ever

These two played so contentedly on their own/together tonight. Extreme dot-to-dot for H and big floor puzzle for E. The some big box fun!
