Kid-isms



Hamilton: If we get the pig flu, will it make us "oink"?

Harrison: Mommy, why are you always cleaning?

Mom: Because.

Harrison: Huh. It always gets messy again.

I brought cookies to school for Hamilton's class to celebrate his birthday. Afterwards, I was informed that I was pretty cool, but the really cool moms brought cupcakes with icing. (Which the teachers specifically request you NOT do!) I guess I'll settle for pretty cool.

Harrison: This song makes my bummby wiggle.

Last Wednesday night at church I was finishing up some pictures I needed to take for a slide show we are working on for Sunday morning. I went into Hamilton's choir practice and he exclaims "MOM! They let you out into the church???!!!" (I'm in the av booth a little too much, perhaps!)

Wednesdays after school is "Sonic Slushy Day". I always take them to get a mid-week treat at Sonic. When we got back this week , I sat my purse down and was putting Matt's drink in the fridge, turned around.......and realized the baby had dumped Harrison's ENTIRE slushy in the train drawer - all over the train track and trains. Needless to say, I was mad. Harrison said "It's OK mom, the baby seems happy!" He was right. It was OK. The baby was happy.

I learn so much from my little guys. I can't imagine life without them. They make me laugh a hundred times a day - they make me get in the floor and tickle and be tickled - they show me what true sincerity is. I can't say that I'm the best student in the world, but I can say, with great certainty, that I have the three best teachers in the world!
