Conversations with Crumpets

Elli:  Mommy I'm getting married today.
Michael:  Me too!
Me:  Who are you getting married to?
Michael:  Adrienne!
Elli:  Ethan!
some friends of ours that we spend a lot of time with 

Michael normally sits on the floor during sharing time at church and doesn't sing, we told him he had to sing loud this week
Michael:  Daddy I sing loud today.  Really loud.  I was good!

We were in line at Costco
Elli screaming:  I have to go potty right now!

Me:  How did you sleep?
Michael:  Very good.  I was a bad boy and you sent me to my room.
Me:  Yup.  Will you be better now?
Michael:  Yeah.
Elli:  Michael be nice!
Me:  He is being nice.
Elli:  Michael hit me!
Me:  No he didn't, he's far away from you.
Elli:  Michael spit on me!
Me:  No one spit on you.
Elli:  Stop it Michael, you go to timeout!

Ethan had a blowout diaper
Michael:  Mommy, Ethan's a baby so he can poop in his diaper.  I'm a big boy so I go poop in the potty.
Elli:  I a big girl!
Michael:  No you poop in your underwear.
Elli:  Stop it Michael!
Michael:  Mommy!  Elli told me to stop it when I called her a baby.
Me:  Elli you can be a big girl when you poop in the potty.  You're working on it aren't you?
Elli:  Yes mommy I be a big girl.
Michael:  Elli still a baby.
Me:  Michael be nice.
Elli:  Yeah Michael be nice to me!

Me:  Come on we need to go to the store.
Michael:  Wait I need to get my monies!

Siblings are the best!

Siblings result in fun photos like this.  Especially if you have an older sister.  Siblings are fun.  Annoying at times, but mostly fun.

The past month my kids have really clicked.  Elli and Michael are constantly kissing Ethan.  Michael tries to hold Ethan, which results in them both falling over.  Michael and Elli still fight over toys, but now they happily play by themselves without any supervision.  They randomly tackle each other and love it.  I caught Elli sitting on Michael's head and he thought it was the funniest thing ever.  Michael takes the lids off of markers for Elli, and Elli shares her Arthur books with Michael.

It's been refreshing!  Of course these cute moments are followed by Michael saying Elli hit him ten times.  Or Elli saying Michael spit on her.  At least we are moving in the right direction!

Conversations with Crumpets

I need to write these down more before I forget them!

Michael:  Mommy can I paint?
Me:  No, you've already colored today.
Elli:  Michael, paint!
Michael:  Shhh!  Wait until mommy goes upstairs

Michael:  You went upstairs and I told you to go downstairs.  You had a shower and I cried.

Michael:  I want cheerios!
Me:  Please wait a minute.
Michael:  We got more cheerios at Costco so can I have some please?

Elli:  Mommy, I'm getting married today!
Me:  Really?  To who?
Elli:  Umm Ethan!

I was taking a nap on the floor of Ethan's room
Michael:  Mommy I went and got Elli out of her room.  You can sleep now.
Elli:  Mommy!
Michael:  Shh! Elli, mommy is sleeping.

Michael:  Can I watch my show please?
Me:  No, you should be sleeping so I'm watching my show.
Michael:  I'm sorry I'm not sleeping mommy.
Me:  It's okay.
Michael:  I'll just read my science book.  Can you find the crocodile page for me please?

Elli:  Go to timeout!
Michael:  You don't talk to me like that!
Elli:  No!  Go to timeout right now!
Michael:  Mommy!  Elli's not the parent!
