From the mouth of babes...

My kids always cracks me up. I think its my absolute favorite thing about being a parent actually. Getting to hear all the silly things they have to say and the thoughts that they have. And so that I don't forget I thought I'd better write some down from the last week.
Parker loves his new bed, unfortunately its a little harder for me to lay down next to him and snuggle when he goes to bed. But the other day I squeezed my way in and this was how our conversation went...

"Mom, I just love this tent bed. It is just my favorite cool bed. When you were a little girl did you have a bed like this?"--parker
"Nope, I didn't have a cool tent bed when I was little"--me
"Oh, that's too bad. Cause when I was a little boy I had one just like this and it was my very favorite"---Parker

Parker is really starting to wondering what I did "when I was a little girl" He really likes his back rubbed, and in turn he likes to rub mine. The last few days that I've been sick he's been rubbing me a lot. Its so cute, his little hand rubbing my back so softly.
Anyways last time I rubbed his back I thought this was pretty funny.
"Mom, when you was a little girl, who was rubbing your back?"
me--"When I was little grandma would rubbed my back"
Then shocked and worried he replied "Oh mom!! Why didn't your mommy rub your back?!! My mommy rubs my back. You should tell your mommy that her was supposed to do it.!!"
Oh Parker, you just make me laugh :)
I tried to explain that grandma is my mommy, but I think it was lost on him. After all, you only get to be one thing, either a mommy or a grandma.

Here's a little thing that makes me laugh, but is kinda sad in way. My poor kids, I must be depriving them. This morning Parker was looking for a snack, which he is ALWAYS doing!!! Drives me nuts, I have to hide everything. Anyways I told him all the reasons why I didn't think he needed a snack right then and her is the reasons he thought he did. It always starts with
"Uh, wait Mom, I just have to tell you something" with his finger pointed at me and a seriously annoyed look on his face :)
"I think I can have a snack right now because I just was eating all my cereals, and I didn't even spill it. Aaannndd.. I was just thinking about getting some of my play clothes on aaannnd cleaning my room all by myself. SO I think I need to have a snack so I have lots of energy. And I will pick it out all by myself. And mom, you just need to be good because we don't get to have snacks with sugar in it. Just some healthy ones. okay. And then if you still are being sick I can give you some of my energy that I have from my snack and then you can just play with me."

So you might not find them as funny as I do. You just have to hear Parker when he says these things. He just always has an answer for everything and never stops talking!! But I seem to talk incessantly too so I guess he gets it from me. We can't wait for preschool to start next week!! Its going to be so good for him to have another outlet for all his smarts :)
