Heard at My House Recently

This is from lasternight. (referring to a cup of water Daddy gave her before bed last night)

No, I'M the mommy. (referring to who is in charge, her or me)

Mommy, here are your begetables. (which rhymes with vegetables, which is what she means)

And finally from my son:

Mommy: "Say bottle."

Him: "Bwaawwrll."

No one was there, but I know he said it. He was just saving that for his mommy. :)

And things you never want to see: Your 2.5 year old daughter almost all the way up the 12 foot ladder to the top of the shed you are currently on, sweeping off the cedar needles. I look down the ladder and there she is, in an argyle pink dress, purple galoshes on the wrong feet and a pink sweater pulled down over her head and just one arm because, "I a mermaid, mommy". After I commanded my heart to start beating again, I carefully asked her to go down the ladder. Yeah, what the h*ll was I thinking? Sometimes you just don't think things through as a mom.
