Monster: Mommy, you look tired. You still look very pretty, but you look much more tired than usual.

Tucking Monster in, I say, "Good night, see you in the morning." I poke his nose and then say, "Actually, I'll see you tonight when you're sleeping, but you'll see me in the morning." He replies, "Maybe I'll see you in my dreams." I tell him, "I hope they're good ones then". He says, "With you, they will be."
I guess we're raising a city girl. At the county fair last night, in the sheep barn, Sunshine says, "There are sure a whole lot of goats in here going 'baa'!"
Sunshine has had stick straight hair up until recently. It's starting to get a little wave to it. I have very wavy hair. I mention to Sunshine how her hair is starting to get waves in it like Mommy's and she replies with, "Oh, no! I don't want waves in my hair! That means it will just be more knotty!"
This portion of my blog is about funny things my kids do and say. Well, my furry baby needs to be included.
Yesterday, after Sunshine had left for Safety Town, Monster and I were just sitting and reading. The neighbor's across the street dad was over mowing her lawn. Puppy goes to the window and starts to cry. I get up, look out, only see the guy mowing. Sit back down. Puppy continues to cry, and cry, and cry. His little tail down wagging and his ears flatten back. Suddenly, I realize that he thinks the guy across the street is Papa. The guy was wearing the same type of clothes my dad wears and he walked with a similar gate. I kept trying to explain (because sure, my dog really understands logic) that this was not Papa. But he continued to cry. After about 20 minutes of crying, I called my dad and asked him to talk to Puppy. Puppy got all excited and licked the phone, then went back to the window crying. Finally, I figured the only way we'd get through this guy mowing was for Puppy to go over there. We got his leash on and headed out the door. He literally dragged me across the street nearly peeing himself to see this guy. He runs right up to the guy and then....stops. There was a look of shear confusion on Puppy's face. I explained to the guy and luckily he was super nice and easy going about it. He pet Puppy and told him he was sorry he wasn't Papa. When we came home, Puppy continued to watch the guy mow, but he finally stopped crying! Today at Sunday school, when it was time to offer up their joys or praise, Sunshine said she was glad that she got to go to the pool, but her brother didn't. Ah, way to be thankful there Boo....
Sunshine desperately wants to have the same Kindergarten teacher as Monster had. Just found out that there is a strong possibility she will not. I tried to make this clear to her.
Me: "You know, you might not have Mrs. [A] as your teacher next year." Sunshine: "OK" Me: "I just want to you to understand that you might have someone different. Do you understand?" Sunshine: "Yes! You said I MIGHT not have her, but that means that I still might!" Way to stay positive, baby! There was a plastic bag in the middle of the sidewalk on the way to school. There was clearly something in it, but what, you couldn't tell. I tell Sunshine not to touch it because we don't know what's it in. She replies, "Yeah, it could be a bomb." Um, probably not, but a good reason not to touch it! Apparently she's been playing too much spy with her big brother!
Monster to Sunshine: Mommy is the boss.
Sunshine: No, Mommy and Daddy are both the bosses. Monster: Mommy is the boss of Daddy and Daddy is the boss of us. So, Mommy's the boss. Monster was telling us that he has now decided when he grows up, he'd like to be an architect if he's not a scientist. Sunshine pipes up with, "When I grow up, I want to be a princess. Or a fairy" I reply, "Can we strive for something higher? How about a marine biologist? You could work with dolphins!" She counters with, "Mommy! No one else who does Irish Dancing does stuff with dolphins or octopuses or whales or stuff like that!" I then try a different approach. "Well, you can't be a fairy because you have to be born a fairy". The response to that? "How do you know? Do you know any fairies?" Touche kid. Touche.
