Being silly with Grandpa.
One of my favorite things about being a mom is listening in on my kids’ conversations! Here are some kid quotes that made me smile recently:
Putting on a fleece hooded sweatshirt with hearts on it:
Lily (3 years old): E [a boy at school] has a shirt just like this one!
Me: Oh yeah?
Lily: Yeah. But it doesn’t have hearts on it.
Me: Is it soft like yours?
Lily: No.
Me: Does it have a hood?
Lily: Yes!
On Valentine’s Day:
Johnny (5 years old): I’m glad today is Valentine’s Day, because red is O’s favorite color. [O is a friend from school]
Emma (7 years old): I don’t like having the song “Frosty the Snowman” in my head all the time.
Playing Star Wars with their Legos:
Emma (7 years old): Come to the good side, right now! Or else go in time out.
MaryAnne is a craft loving educator, musician, photographer, and writer who lives in Silicon Valley with her husband Mike and their four children.
Love the Star Wars quote – too funny!
I probably wouldn’t like having Frosty the Snowman stuck in my head either. :)
Haha! I hate it when I get Frosty stuck in my head too!
And now you probably do have it stuck in your head :)
Yes, but it couldn’t be helped! I hope it is out of Emma’s head now too!
Awesome! Love the picture of being silly with Grandpa. My favorite conversation was finding out how her fleece hooded shirt with hearts was “just like” her friends. You did a good job there, Mom!
Thank you, Susan! My kids always make me smile :)
I love when kids say “just like mine” but the only thing that might be just like theirs would be a hood or a similar color. J often asks that we match on the weekends. We’d both wear our favorite science shirts and Stanford sweatshirts. It warms my heart.
That is adorable!
I love the call to come to the good side.
That was my favorite :)
Cute quotes!!! I love the glimpses into how they think.
I love that too. Funny how different it is from an adult…
Haha! Kids say the cutest things!
I agree! One of the many rewards of being a parent!
Ha ha! So adorable! And I agree with Emma! I don’t want Frosty the Snowman in my head all day either!
Did her quote put it in your head? ;-)
So cute!
Thanks!
I notice that Anna is always staring at the camera…
The girl knows how to pose. It’s hilarious!
Don’t you just love what those precious little one have to say :-)
They always make me smile :)
I love it! The good side or time out!
It really made me laugh, to hear that :)
I wish it worked to just tell them to come to the good side……. My daughter decided she needed to work on keeping her temper so she can stay on the good side.
That is awesome!
Hahaha! I am envisioning storm troopers in time out. :-)
:D
So cute. I love the star wars quote!
That was my favorite :)
