So I was at the grocery store on Saturday and we're waiting in line at the checkout and Nugget starts pointing to the magazine racks and starts saying "Mama, Mama" and pointing to a People Magazine with some Real Housewife on the cover. Thaaaaaanks, kid... Then she points to a photo of an African American guy (from the bachelor or something?) and says "Dada!" and I felt a little better What cute/funny things are your kids saying and doing?

We were asking E math questions in the car last night (they are starting to show her adding and subtracting at pre-school).
My husband asks her, "What is 8 plus 3?
E looks concerned as she starts using her fingers and proclaims, "Wait I can use my toes!"

R today:
Mama, when you close one eye it's called winking. When you close 2 eyes it's called going to sleep.

My 3 year old says "day lown" instead of lay down. She also says "feed birder" instead of bird feeder.

My 3 year old says "day lown" instead of lay down. She also says "feed birder" instead of bird feeder. M says "walk side" instead of sidewalk and consequently refers to the road as the "drive side." There's also the mow lawner.

This morning my 3yo asked us "why do grownups like coffee so much?"
He has also picked up the phrase "speaking of" and he uses it all the time, out of nowhere. "Speaking of milk, could you get me some milk, Mom?"

Today we were driving home from a kids party when R decided he needed to poop. We pull over at a gas station and head in.
As we are walking in the door, a random guy compliments R's sunglasses. R replies "Thanks! They are orange. I need to poop!"

S was helping put A (3) back in bed last night, when she apparently said something like "my legs are little, and mommy's legs are big, and Daddy's legs are strong!"... Gee, thanks kid.
Luckily, hubs replied saying that mommy's legs are strong, too. Brownie points for S!

H just told me that I dance as well as the Spice Girls. Some days I wonder if my parenting is on track, but it's comments like these that let me know I'm doing a-ok

Last night O was sitting on my lap having dinner. She said these sentences consecutively, 'I want you to cut up my pancakes', As I start to cut them. 'No! Don't cut my pancakes'. 🙄

We are going through toys to donate today. O has this Elmo that you can put different hats on that talks. I asked him if he wanted to keep Elmo. He said "no because he won't stop talking!"

Today I accidentally sat on J's leg when I was trying to sit down next to him on the couch.
"Mommy no! You can't sit on people!"

Oh and yesterday when I went to get him out of his car seat he said "Mommy are you a superhero?" And so I told him I didn't know and asked him if he thought I was and he said "yes yes yes! You are a superhero!"
Made me feel all warm and fuzzy.

My almost 12 year old plays on a select baseball team. One night I was helping him with his timing for hitting by pitching these weighted baseballs to him. They are filled with sand, so you have to throw them underhand, and I can't throw them very fast. After we were done, he says to my husband "well mom tries really hard" when he was asked how it went.
My 4 yo calls anything baseball related pitching, even hitting. He also hasn't quite figured out the concept of cities vs states. So he argues when anyone says we live in state ABC by saying "No we live in city XYZ".
Both the boys call pretty much any meat chicken. Steaks, pork roast, pork chops, gyro meat...it's all chicken.

Last night DH promised the kids they could sleep in the living room tonight and watch a movie. We were scrolling through Netflix trying to choose something and I asked the kids if they had seen a particular movie. O says "Yes! But we haven't seen it in 159 years... One hundred and fifty nine! Yep, that's what I said!"

(A and I are talking and laughing in the front seat of the car)
H: hey, what're you guys talking about? me: we passed a sign for a strip club on the highway and we were laughing about the idea of bringing you and M to a strip club. H: what's a strip club? me: it's where people dance and take their clothes off. me: hey, I just realized, you and M basically do that every night at bedtime. H: I wanna go to a place where they take their BONES off.

R2 asked to feed the dog this morning. R1 said no, because R2 was covered in syrup.
A few minutes later we catch R2 hanging his head in sadness, muttering quietly "Its hard to be 3...."

I cut R's nails last night and when finished, she pointed to the tweezers and said "ok do RoRo's eyeballs now."

Also, L has taken to calling us mother and father. You get weird looks in public when your 3 yr old repeatedly calls you mother lol

We were at a historic village. Printer asks P "So, do you think you might want to be a printer when you grow up?" P very seriously "No, I don't want to be a printer, I'm going to be Santa Clause when I grow up"

We took Nugget to the fair down the street from our house last week and she was so excited to go on the rides. The fair goes until next week, so every time she goes in the backyard she has to point out the Ferris wheel and yells "Wheee! wheee!"

Lately M has been saying "you're a mess!" I have no idea where she picked that up, but I do not like it.
Also, when I've been singing loud in the car, she'll say, "stop it mommy, it's my turn!"
Three year olds are harsh, yo.

Earlier today, R was recalling some water fountain play area that she apparently went to, but no one else remembered. She was very specific on her details, but we couldn't figure it out. We said we believed her, but we just weren't sure where she was describing. Then she says (pointing to her head): "yeah, I think my brain must just be smarter than yours"
