Can Life Get Better Than This?: First words

First words

The first words out of Jack Jack's mouth were not "Good morning." They were not "Hi, Mommy." They were not "What's for breakfast?" No. Before 7:00 a.m. in a dark kitchen while the rest of the family was sleeping, before I even said a single word to him, the first words my son spoke to me that morning were,

"Mommy, I was not just getting the blender."

Jack Jack, you'd better believe you were not.

Quote of the day

5/23/14 We were putting away winter clothes and looking at clothes some friends had given Rose, and I told her when she grew out of her clothes, we could give them to someone else to wear. To which she responded, "Oh, I will miss all my beautiful clothes so much!"

5/22/14 Rose: "Clothes are so important." I am relieved that this message seems to have finally gotten through to my child who started out life believing most events were clothes-optional, including playing at the park.

5/16/14 Rose randomly asked me, "Mom, why don't you sing your prayers?" Hmmmm...

5/9/14 After a pretty intense discussion about why we don't pinch the new friend we just met at the park, Rose yells at me, "Why didn't you just yell choose the right so I would remember?" Is that all it takes?

8/7/13 Elijah took off his shorts while he was supposed to be napping. I told him we needed to put them back on, and he told me "No! I don't need pants! I'm nakey-nakey." Ha.

7/14/12 Rose asked for a piece of toast, which I made her. Then she cried and said, "No, Mommy! Make me a new toast that's not toasted!" Ellen and Jack thought it was hilarious to inform their sister that it's called "bread."
