Random 5yo Quote

My 7 year old nephew called me 2 weeks ago and said:

I want you to get married when you move to North Carolina. But not to (insert ex-bf's name here). I'd have to kick him in the head if you married him.

OK...tha's funny, cause here's what I sing back to her after she does the Porkchop verse:

Nola is bittersweet

she knocks me off of my feet.

I like to smack her hiney.

because it is so shiney.

<snirk>

That's some serious bodyguard material there!

Yeah. And, as it turns out, even when you're a lot older than that.

Last week at a parent conference my wife was asked to encourage our daughter to say "hips" instead of "booty" when music time (preschool - she's almost four) starts and she jumps up in front of the class and yells "SHAKE YOUR BOOTY!" at the top of her lungs and starts wiggling it.

 She loves music, and her booty, and daddy wouldn't have it any other way.  I think the teacher's think she's got a stripper pole in her room.

Stick to your guns. I would have some serious fun playing with that teachers head.

I'm having fun with my 4 year olds speech therapist.  Her dad (me) is from Boston. Surprisingly, said daughter drops the occassional 'r' and pronounces 'o' like 'ah' sometimes. The therapist says it's a speech impediment. I say it's the correct pronunciation.

5 year old son to loud, obonxious, older brother:"William, you make me a headache"

So we're sitting here at the table unwinding and Hailey(our 5 year old) asks Teresa(wifey)....

Mommy how do you spell swimming?...

So she spells it out.

Mommy how do you spell running?....

So she spells it out...

You guessed it, next thing she asks...

Mommy how do you spell Biking?

as you can guess, that piece of art is going on the fridge!

These are great!  We have family in town from Florida.  Last night we were sitting at the table after dinner and Jack (3yo) is looking through a book.  He comes to a small picture of an alligator and says "I don't like alligators".  We all kinda look at him and I said "they just need their space".  You can tell he is thinking about it and comes back with "I only like the ones that play football".

I guess you can't argue with that!

When I go on trips, I always bring nola home a little something. So when I went to Louisiana last week, I told her they have gators there (Go Gators!), so I was going to bring her a "tiny, baby alligator that would snap at her hiney."

So are you going to get your 3yo a bunch of blue and orange clothes now? Awesome!
