Toddler Moments

One of my favorite parts about being a mom is watching my kids develop. I love my conversations with Grant because he's 2 1/2 and is completely irrational sometimes.

1.) A couple of days ago I accidentally hit Grant and he said "Ouchie! You hurt me."
Me: Sorry Grant, it was an accident.
Grant ( a sign that he has been watching WAY TOO much Kung Fu Panda) Mom, there are no accidents! (and then he karate chopped me)

2.) I made Orange Julius for the family and gave Chris and myself larger adult cups. I gave Grant a smaller cup.

Grant: Ew I don't want this!
Me: Ok then don't drink it.
Grant: No, I want to share with you.
(keep in mind we are all getting over ear infections and colds)
Me: Grant I don't want to share germs.
Grant: ( In a super whiney, high pitch voice) But mom, I want to share your germs!

Maddie is almost 6 months old!

I thought I could save time by putting both kids in the tub. It turned out to be much longer and more dramatic. Oh well they're still fun to watch!

On Sunday two kids (3 and 5) rang our doorbell and said "We're selling Gold, would you like to buy some?" Chris was going to give them pretend money when he saw that their gold resembled driveway gravel. But then he noticed that we weren't the first house they visited and they actually had a couple dollars worth of change in their bucket. So Chris, pulled some change out of his pocket and bought this nice piece of Gold that Grant is displaying above. It was cute, but I think we got swindled :)

What's that you say is on the back of Grant's head? Well the Orange oval is a supermarket sticker that says "Thank you for Shopping with us!" which Grant decided to stick to the back of his head. I heard him whining and asking me to help him get it off because it hurt. But by the time I got some scissors I noticed that a napkin got caught in the crossfire as well. Don't know how that happened. Fortunately, due to Chris' Bait and Switch method (showing Grant a pair of scissors in the Right hand and using the left to quickly pull off the sticker and napkin) Grant is now sticker and napkin free.
