all three big ones looking at the dust particles in front of the sunny window:my 4 year old- “look at all the little things flying in the air.”my 6 year old- “i think they’re little stars falling down all around us.”

………………………………….

my 4 year old to my 6 year old after the 4 year old peed in the potty:

“have you listened to how it sounds when you pee?  it sounds like a man talking really fast and then when you flush he says, ’shhh.’”

my 8 month old was crying while i was getting ready to go to town and my 4 year old said, “does he want to be milked, mama?”  laughing, i said, ”no, i don’t think he wants to be nursed right now.”  and then my 4 year old said, “maybe he just wants a pick-up.  he really likes pick-ups.  (after a long pause) i really love pick-ups too.”

………………………………….

my 4 year old:

“i don’t like cupcakes.  because after you lick all the icing off, they’re just boring under there.”

………………………………….

me to all 3 big ones, ” y’all are sweet as pie.  do you know it?”

my 4 year old to me, “you’re sweeter than pie, mama.”

my oldest, “our baby is sweeter than 3 pies.”
