Since our last thread on this is off the front page, time for a new one! What funny/sweet/ridiculous things are your kids saying and doing these days?

Nugget's current obsession is with carrots. She just started saying "carrots" a couple of days ago, and whenever I go to check the garden, she asks for me to pull up a carrot for her to eat (which she then eats about a third and feeds the rest to the dogs). She also thinks anything that sounds like the word "carrot" or looks like a carrot is also a carrot. Currently, chocolate and bananas are also carrots. Last night she was carrying around a photo of her cousin, whose name has the "care" sound in it, and when I pointed to the photo and said her cousin's name, she said "carrots! carrots!"

M is figuring out how to dress herself unaided, so she has been spending quiet time trying on everything in her drawers. Yesterday she came out of her room with a denim skirt, a blue pinstripe button down dress shirt and a black lace choker (a headband). She looked way more put together than anything we ever put her in.

C is so social. We had a guy doing work on our house yesterday who was sitting on the floor. C crawled right over and up onto his lap. Fortunately he also had a one year old and just thought that it was funny.

E informed us that she is always ready for a good time. This has us slightly concerned for her teenage years!!

Oh! In the car yesterday, the girls kept saying the word "poop." So I asked them what kind of word poop was. They agreed that poop is a bathroom word, so we only say poop in the bathroom.
E: you can say poop in the bathroom. You can say any bathroom word in the bathroom!
P: except shit. That's a grown up word. We don't say shit. Right mommy? We don't say shit? Right?

She was sitting watching a little film about tigers with her small children and I guess Nugget decided it was a comfy place to sit. Oy.

R has been saying she's "as hungry as a bear waking in the springtime!" And it's hilarious every time

Omg, we were driving by a farm and I complained to DH that it reeked of manure. E asked us what manure was and DH yelled into the backseat over the din of the open windows, "COW SHIT! Oh...I mean...poop. Cow poop." I died. I randomly yell "cow shit" at DH now.

DH's cousin had a baby boy the other day and as we're showing R pics, she was fascinated that he had a penis. So now, she keeps asking who has one.
R: "Mommy have one?" Me: "No, mommy is a girl. I do not have a penis." R: "Daddy have one?" Me: "Yes, daddy has one." R: "Daddy have one. Mommy no have one. Roey no have one. Mimi no have one. Hiya (her nickname for E) no have one. Daddy have one."
And now, she talks about all then guys and girls in our family about "have one" and "no have one."

So I got a speeding ticket a few weeks ago. When I was telling someone about it, I explained that I just wasn't paying attention and my foot got a little heavy.
Today, I almostmkissed the entrance to my appt. E asked if my foot had gotten too heavy again. I said maybe.
E: it's ok mommy. Sometimes in deep sand, my feet get really heavy too.
Llol.

Lately I get, 'hey, give me that back!' a lot. Even if I don't have anything.
Today he noticed bugs in his plastic swimming pool. This resulted in repeated 'Pepper, eat that bug!' He was increasingly distressed that the dog was not listening and eating said bugs.

Last night, I had to breastfeed a stuffed giraffe because Nugget wanted to share her milk with her"Faffe" Nursing a 20 month old is certainly an adventure...

H, looking at me getting dressed. "Mama, do you ever imagine that I had a vulva instead of a penis?" "I've never imagined it, no... but we could imagine it!"

We're going to visit some family soon and M is going to be sleeping in her own room there. I told her that she will "sleep in a big comfy bed" there and she replied, "I don't have a comfy bed at home!"
Such a critic.

We watched the original Jungle Book and while we were camping this week, DS ran out of the forest and when I asked him what he was doing he pointed to himself and said "man-eating tiger." He also picked up the phrase "Why, it's a man cub!" and says it randomly.

The girls got little beach balls at a party yesterday and E keeps biting the valve and deflating it. R said: "Mommy blow up ball, E blow down ball."

T started crying while I was in the bathroom. I came out to find R running towards my bedroom with a pacifier yelling "We have a mergency here!!"

Last night J was having trouble falling asleep at my IL's so I asked him if he wanted me to rock him to sleep in the rocking chair.
"No, your bottom is too big to fit."
*He did eventually let me rock him and he was out like a light in less than 5 min!

This morning M declared she was going to be a vampire panda for halloween. I have never witnessed her watch anything with vampires. So I asked what a vampire would wear and she said a cape. Fair enough. Then I asked what else and she said - and I'd have boobs.
ok.

Our neighbors invited us over for margaritas (and juice for the kids.) Me: We're going next door for cocktails. H: We're going next door for peacocks!

R recently figured out he can walk backwards. Now it's his preferred way to get around. Weird but cute.

We were at a park today and went to see the ducks. There were some big girls feeding them bread when my kids came charging in. The girls gave a piece of bread to my daughter so she could feed the ducks, too. She said thanks and then took a bite.

Nugget is starting to repeat all the words and now we are suddenly realizing we need to watch what we say. We curse a lot in this house, which is going to be a problem... Last night at dinner, J made a funny comment to me and I jokingly said "F--- you." of course, Nugget immediately starts going "Fuh! Fuh!" Trying so hard to keep a straight face, then J says something a minute later that involved the word "A--hole" (can't remember exactly what) and then she starts saying "Asso! Asso!"
