I didn't hear them from my mom, didn't read them in a book, and I never said them while teaching parenting classes...Here are some things I never thought I would say as a mother...context aside, even I had to stop and laugh at myself!
"Go get them!" as I throw my keys up the stairs as iniative to climb...
"Get your mouth off the vaccum hose!"
"No more peaches! Want a cookie?"
"No, you can't brush your teeth!"
Im sure there will be more to come- these kids are running me ragged!!

The Great Debates
Ella and Drew are practicing their conversational skills by starting with debates. Here are some snippets of "conversations" in our house:
After hearing a siren:
Ella: Wow! Fire Truck!
Drew: NO! Police Car!
Ella: NO! Fire Truck!
Drew: NO ELLA! Police Car!
This could go on for 3-5 minutes...
This AM we were talking about calling Nonnie...
Ella: Hi Nonnie!
Drew: Hi Caca!
Ella: No! Nonnie!
Drew: No! Caca!!
repeat...repeat...repeat
Other debate topics: milk vs. water, yogurt vs. pizza, tv on vs. tv off

Happy New Year
Some resolutions:
Tyler: to cry less, especially in the hours between midnight and 6 AM - to watch my brother and sister with awe and wonder - to learn to duck when things go flying around the house, to learn to love the pacifier unconditionally
Drew: to not let Ella bug me so much - to continue being so sweet - to figure out how to turn the tv on - to make mommy and daddy laugh every day
Ella: to bug Drew as much as possible - to hug and kiss Tyler everyday - to wrap Daddy a little tighter around my finger
Mom: to enjoy every moment possible - to laugh at them everyday - to let them know in every way possible how awesome they make my life - to have a few child free moments (grocery shopping doesn't count!) to help make me more fun and energized!
