The twins have been asking a lot about death/dying over the past couple months. DD1 has been working hard to understand dying and why some people die before others. We were driving in the car tonight and she says to me, "Mommy, Isaac is growing faster than I am. His toes are at the end of his shoes already. I think he's going to die before me". It was hard not to start laughing at her logic. We spent some time talking about the fact that people grow at different rates, people's sizes don't determine when they die, etc... We've also had several questions lately about whether twins die on the same day since they're born on the same day.
It's so interesting to get a glimpse inside the inner workings of a preschooler's brain!

We had a long talk about diabetes the other day because I mentioned something about a lady at work. He wanted to know what she looks like so I mentioned she only had one leg which turned into him asking why, the reason was diabetes. He asked questions for a good hour about it. Does didabetes (that's how he said it which was so cute) eat people? Can didabetes go in the cage because it's bad? Does didabetes kill people? Can I see didabetes? What does didabetes do? Why does that lady have didabetes? Can I get didabetes? And on and on for an hour. My child is now quite knowledgeable on the subject and can tell you about insulin and blood sugar ranges.

My Feb13 kid has really been struggling to understand the death of our dog. He talks about it all the time. Last weekend we went away on a road trip and as we pulled into the hotel parking lot he said 'Maybe our dog is here. Wouldn't that be great. She'd really like it here, don't you think?' and he is very concerned about who is taking care of her. He knows she died at the doctors so wonders constantly if the doctor is at least still taking care of her. It breaks my heart, but we try to walk him through it every time. So that means he talks about death a lot right now, and also being alive and what that might mean. Otherwise he asks about everything. He has been taking riding lessons and the trainer says to him to do something like 'make the pony stop' and he's all like 'Why? Why should I make the pony stop'. Welcome to my life trainer. But it is also one of the few times he listens, because he does do what she asks and he doesn't do that often He also constantly brings me larvae, maggots and catapillers he finds -- it is disgusting but he is so excited 'Mama, this one is going to be BEAUTIFUL don't you think? So many colors and everything when it grows up big and strong like a butterfly' and it is hard not to smile even if I think it probably will never be a butterfly

When we were in MI he keeps saying, "I saw a kangaroo sign!!" It took me 2 days to figure out what he thought was a kangaroo.

blablabirdie we are talking about death a bunch. We had to put our dog down back in September. My parents have had to put 2 dogs down within the last year and half and my uncle passed away last year. Plus she knows that I had a brother. My husband isn't religious at all and really shys away from anything related. So all we can say is that they went to heaven and we won't see them for a very long time. But that has lead into h or I going somewhere and DD1 thinking that she will "never ever see us again". Which starts a major breakdown. She has a list of everyone that is in heaven and will randomly start naming them. Recently it's been about our dog and my brother. She never met my brother as he passed away 9 years before she was born. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We let K watch the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie. He insisted on being called Captain Jack Sparrow for a whole weekend.
K saw a service/therapy dog in the grocery store and I was explaining to him what they do. To which he replies "I think Scooby Doo is a service dog."
From the backseat: "We don't say shit or damn it. Those are bad words."
"That happened in the 80's right?" I could be talking about George Washington.
"I'd like a case of ideas" (Quesadillas)
Also he's going to marry Rihanna. For real this kid needs his own show. I can't keep up.

My 4 year old is my first being preschooler that's being raised in a household with older kids, so the things he says cracks me up. Now that school is out I bought everyone fidget spinners, I forbid them during school since they drive the poor teachers nuts. We just got them yesterday and he loves it. He tries to do cool tricks with it. He said "mom look at my cool MLG moves." "I think my fidget spinners is super rare", and "let's watch Dan TDM fidget spinner video." For those who don't know Dan TDM is a Minecraft YouTube person
Also he likes watching old school Bill Nye the science guy on YouTube, since he wants to be a scientist. The other day he said "I don't think Bill Nye likes John Cena." I said the wrestler? He said yes. Apparently when my dad was baby sitting they watched a Bill Nye John Cena clip haha!

Well yesterday while driving he asked me if I remember a long, long, long time ago when he was born lol I said yes of course. Then he asked "well how small was I when God put me in your tummy?" I was like "Sooooo tiny" Then he sat for a few and said "How did God get me in your tummy?" I was like holy shit this is being asked already? He didn't even ask this when I was actually pregnant with his sister lol So I said "Well God gives mommies a little seed and that seed grew into you!" (I was not ready to have a sex talk with him yet lol) So he took in my answer and sat for a minute then said "mom....what flavor seed was I?" I about died from laughing. After getting myself together I said I don't remember, so then he asked "maybe like a sunflower seed flavor?"
Oh how I love this little boy

He told me mommy you just need to grow a baby in your belly and then it can be my sister. Both kids are adopted and he knows and we talk about it a lot but clearly doesn't really get it . Like that a baby is not going to grow in my belly. I told him he has his brother and 2 dogs and that our family is complete and he seemed to accept that. Oh but then he told a random kid at the playground that he doesn't have a sister but that he has a girl dog haha

Mac has been grabbing at himself lately and I always ask if he has to go pee. His answer now is always 'No, I'm just holding mines penis so it doesn't run away from me'.... Such a boy.
