Discovering that girls are different....

Now that we have a baby girl in the house my younger boys are starting to ask questions. One night I had the baby in the bathtub, and in walks my five year old. He is just sitting next to me looking at her and he gets that look on his face that he is just a thinkin' on something. Oh, no here it comes. "Mom sisssy hassss boobiessss." I am trying not to laugh and I say, "Yes she does, but let's call them rose buds." I am sorry, but I am not going to have my five year old walking around telling some stranger that his baby sister has boobies. Any who, he goes, "okay I won't say that any more." So he moves up to the toilet and sits on the seat with that same look on his face. So I just continue bathing the baby. All of the sudden he yelps out, "BOOBSSS!" I lost it I fell over the bathtub laughing my head off! He has never said any more about it after his little out burst. Maybe he just needed to say it out loud to get it out of his system. Go figure.

Oh my!

We were getting the kids ready for bed, and I couldn't find my three year old. I go out into the hallway to call his name, and I found him standing in the hallway with this look on his face. He tells me,"look what I found!" He is waving an open tampon back and forth with a grin form ear to ear like he has found this great treasure. I just say, "oh, look at that you've been into mommy's bathroom cupboard." " I keep it?" I just laugh and take it from him, and tell him that this is only for girls, but thank you for bringing it to me.

This also reminds me of the time last year when my five year old came into the family room with one of my panty liners stuck to his forehead. i asked him why he had a pad on his head and he told me in his lisp language, "I needed a band aid, and we don't have any sssso I used thisssss to make my head to feel better."

Drama king

Last year my five year old played his first season of T-ball. He liked it unless something didn't go his way. He is up to bat, and he gets upset because he didn't hit the ball far enough to the out field. I told him he was doing a great job, and to keep trying. Then his coach has him try being the catcher. He was doing good until the ball smacked him in the leg. He starts crying and yells," I CAN"T TAKE IT ANYMORE!" Runs off the field! Not to me, just kept running to destination unknown. So let's hope that this year is less dramatic! I also hope that this year the helmets are bigger, because his head is huge for a five year old. The helmets they tried to squeeze him into last year barley sat on his rather large noggin. What can I say he must have a big brain.

Let's Race

Mommy log star date number 449 rounded to the nearest decimal point....... Okay, today I learned a valuable lesson. Never have your son a race down the drive way in your pajamas with out a bra on.(I know you wanted to have that visual of me) Plus I was bringing in the garbage can so I was running and pulling it with me down the driveway.
By the way, my drive way is like two hundred feet from my house no lie. Any who, my son yells,"race you mom!" I yell, "go!" with out thinking I bolt down the drive way and I am laughing and yelling, " I'm gonna win!" Well we get to the garage doors, and I am rubbing it into my seven year old's face that I won! He just starts laughing and proceeds to give me a play by play of what my body looked like as I was running. "Your stomach was going bong, bong, jiggle, jiggle." I think that this has been the only time in my life that I wanted to flip a child off! Needless to say this chub butt won! :):):):)

Not at the dinner table.

My favorite part of the day is sitting around the dinner table and talking about the days events. Well on this particular night, my oldest decides he needs to announce that he had the most awesome bowel movement earlier that day at school. It looked like a snake with two heads! GROCE! That is a picture in my head I could of done with out. Of course his dad laughs while I am telling him that it is not a very polite thing to talk about especially at the dinner table! I will die a happy mommy if I can pass manners 101 with my kids.

My three year old has had the nick name 'chipmunk,' from the time he was introduced to baby food. He stores his food in his cheeks. I would go to put him to bed for the night, and he would still have dinner in his mouth. He will stuff his mouth until he can't talk, and then hold it there for some unknown reason. Then he will either spit it all over his plate or just hold it in his mouth. You would think that he would out grow this by now,but oh, no not him. The other day at dinner I looked up at him, and his cheeks are stuffed. I told him to spit some of it out so he could chew and swallow. He just looked at me and smiled with a mouth full of potatoes and green beans. You can only imagine what that looks like! Then he grabs his cup of milk and spits it all into his cup! What the what? Really I have not raised them in a barn! (We do live next to a barn however!) LOL!

Hey there chubby.......

So leave it to your kids to point out the obvious. Shortly after having baby number four my oldest boy is talking to me and I lean over to give him a hug and he pats my stomach and says;" hey there chubby, chubby." Nice. Then my five year old was getting his hair combed for school and my baby is two months old by now. He looks at me over his glasses, and with his lisp tells me that I still look pregnant. Was I sure that they got all the babies out? Love it. Just so you know baby girl weighed nine pounds and was twenty one inches long. She was our biggest baby. My body payed for it dearly! She was sooooo worth it how ever!

Then there are the times when your kids pick the wrong time to tell you a description of some one they saw.
When my oldest was four we were in the grocery store, and he saw a man that had what he called, "a really big root beer belly."
The man was standing right behind us in the checkout so you know he could hear him! When have you ever known a four year old to talk with his inside voice?


At our house we love to watch movies! My kids and I can memorize every line even if we have only seen it one time. So we like to give a play by play of all the funny parts to all of our extended family members especially at family functions. All of our families do this when one of them have seen a funny movie. Any who, our favorite one to watch together is Nacho Libre. We love it when Nacho is wearing his stretchy pants just for fun! Well we were headed into Walmart, and this very heavy set lady comes walking out in neon pink stretchy pants, and a tank top. I could already see the wheels a turning in my kid's faces. So before they could say anything..... I said" Sometimes you wear stretchy pants just for fun!" Thank goodness she could not hear me because my kids could not stop laughing! Oh the things you see at Walmart. :)

Underwear

My five year old just informed me that he has a secret for me. Not a secret for my ear though. He told me that he is wearing three pairs of underwear. When I asked him why? He told me, "because it feels good." I was wondering why his pants looked snug. LOL!
