Overheard

We’ve entered into a new stage with our boys where their curiosity equals their persistence. It’s hilarious!

Here are a few of our recent conversations:

“Lightening bugs don’t talk.  They blink.”

“Do lightening bugs lay on da ground?”

about Anna:  “I keept she safe.”

Every night as part of their Lets-Think-of-One-Million-Things-To-Do-So-We-Don’t-Have-To-Go-To-Bed-Yet Routine the boys want a “Big Squeeze-Tiny Squeeze.”  When they do the “tiny squeeze” they make a tiny little mouse squeak!  EEk!

“Mommy, what was your walk called??”

“why?  Why?  WHY?  WHY MOMMY?”

“I kiss she.  I give she a kiss!”

After having a week with Uncle Bubbles, the boys thought it was really fun to make up new names for themselves and everyone else.  This is the one that has stuck:  “Me Bobby da Pen.”  or  “Me Bobby da Penny.  You Yarry (Larry).  Ha ha ha!”

And, some potty talk.  Brace yourselves:

“Me gonna poop all day yong (long).”

And, these boys sing CONSTANTLY. They make up songs . . . Today, I am pretty sure I heard a rousing rendition, sung to the tune of Holy, Holy, Holy, of “Unnnclleeeeeeeeeeeeee JUUDAAHHHHHH! I am goin’ POOOOOOOOOOOTY. Froggy, froggy, froggy froog-ggy POT-TY.” And, yes, our CD will be released in August and you can pay $19.99 to have such amazing tunes playing in the comfort of your own home—or bathroom, as the case may be.

“WOW, Weeyum!  Wow!  No tinkle in your chair, Weeyum.  Wow.  Tell Mommy you need da tinkle, Weeyum.”

“It won’t be loud.  That potty won’t be loud.  I flush it.  I no flush it.  I stand out here.”

“You poop, Weeyum?  WOW!  GOOD JOB, WEEYUM!”

“Why me get an M&M?  Why we celebrate me?  Why we celebrate me, Mommy?” **(the background on this is the boys each get two skittles or M&Ms whenever either of them poops on the potty—we all celebrate together when it happens, so everyone gets candy!  They get really excited to “celebrate me!”)

and, my favorite:

{in a really deep voice}  WOW!  {and in a really high squeaky voice} ME POOPED!

And, with that, a GOOD NIGHT!
