I know this is a bit belated, but I can't believe I have a 1st grader!!! I remember when he was a little toddler and I had friends with 1st graders and how big I thought they were. He's just getting too big and I keep telling him I'm going to put a brick on his head so he can't get any taller (he's already up to my shoulders)! He is looking forward to this year and so far has been enjoying his class and his new teacher. Here's to another great year Bug!!
From the Mouths of Babes
- Ryan to Mark while Mark was helping Ryan put a DVD away - "Dad, stop fooling around with this." (2-25-13)
- Ryan - "Do Magee's peck when they bite?" (He was talking about geese at the park near our house. My maiden name is Magee.) (1-13-13)
- John -- "I think I've learned an important lesson about patience, but I think I only remembered about 1/2 of it." (1-31-13)
- Conversation between Jacob and John: Jacob -- "John, how come you never kiss Hannah?" John -- "I don't know." Jacob -- "Well, you should put some love on her." John -- "You put enough love on her for a lot of people." (5/24/12)
- Jacob -- "Hey mom...guess what??!? Ryan did land on his feet!!" (9/19/11)
- John -- "Where can I get a 20 pack or a 12 pack for my stomach." (6/9/11)
- Ryan to mom - "I two." Mom - "Yes you are two." Ryan- "Now I have mustache." Mom looked in the rear view mirror and realized he was talking about the dried boogers on his upper lip...that was his mustache! (4/13/11)
- John reading a Batman comic book title: "The Brave and the Bald (aka bold)" (4/2/11)
- John to our neighbor practicing his trumpet in the backyard: "(neighbor), is your trumpet broken?" Neighbor: "No" John: "A little broken?" (3/30/11)
- Jacob - "Mom, I want to be Galactus, but with ice cream!" (3/7/11)
- Jacob to the Whole Family at the breakfast table - "Who wants to see Batman on my buns?!?! I'll show you after I finish breakfast." (10/3/10) **NOTE: He is referring to his Batman underwear which are shown regularly at our Family Home Evening Show & Tell
- John to Mom on the way to school - "on the walk home from school today I am going to find a rolly polly and eat it." Mom - "why are you going to do that?" John - "because (insert friends name) did it." Me - "you don't have to do anything because a friend does it." John - "oh good...I don't ever want to eat bugs!" (9/13/10)
- John to mom - "Mom, is Jack Daniels dead?" Me not letting on that I know what he's talking about -"I'm not quite sure who Jack Daniels is. Who is he?" John - "He's a man with a moustache." That's what I get for letting my kids watch tv! (5/10/10)
- Jake to mom -"Mom come quick, come quick." Me- "What's the matter Jake?" Jake smiling - "my freckles are stuck to my foot." (3/31/10)
- John to parents - "Dads are big and moms are old." (3/4/10)
- Mom to Jacob - "Jake, why do you always throw everything on the floor?" Jacob - "I just do." Mom - "Yes, but why?" Jacob - "Because I need to practice." Mom - "You need to practice throwing things on the floor?" Jacob - "Yes." Mom - "Well, you're really good at it. Do you think you should stop?" Jacob - "No, I need to practice everyday." (2/8/10)
- John to Mom -- "Hey Mom, what's your number 1 most important thing you have to do?" Mom -- "Well, that would be making sure that you, Jacob, Ryan and Daddy are happy, healthy and safe." John -- "And you forgot that you need to keep the house clean." (2/1/10)
- Dad to John -- "John do you need a hug?" John-- "No." Dad -- "Do you want a hug?" John-- "How bout you give me a hug when I want one?" Dad- "Do you want one?" John-"No" (9/1/09)
- Jacob - "Mom, look at the kitty fur on my legs!"
- John to Mom - "Your two choices are give me a snack or give Ryan away to someone else." (Some friends of our recently adopted a baby and so we've been discussing what adoption is with him.)
- Jacob to Mark - "Dad, call me Jakester."
- Mom to John trying to stay awake in the car - "John, why don't you just close your eyes for a minute." John - "No Mom, I'll just be tired with my eyes open." 10 seconds later he was snoring.
- Jacob to the nurse at the pediatrician's office -- "I have a fever, right here, under my spikey hair." (Mark and I want to teach him to say, "and the only cure is more cowbell!")
- John randomly to Mom -- "Mom, don't give me sleepy eye test." Mom - "Ok, but if I did, would you pass?" John - "No, but I'm not tired."
- John -- "Dad, you're as strong as a pidgeon"
- We have told John that if he breaks something we will be selling his lightsabor to pay for the replacement, so when Jacob broke the bookshelf in their room, John said, "Mom, I guess we'll have to sell Jacob."
- John - "Dad, why are you putting yogurt on your armpits?" while Mark was putting on deodorant
- John - "So Dad, where did you get that big head?"
Little Prayers
