Steph, Jeff, and Co.: Oops!

Oops!

I had an absent-minded moment this morning. I had just finished clipping Thomas's nails when Zaylee came up and wanted hers clipped too. So I set Thomas down and turned to pick up Zaylee, and I heard a loud plop and a little whine. I had set Thomas down on his feet, expecting him to be able to stand and walk away! He couldn't, of course, and did a belly flop on the floor. Oops! He was fine, just a little startled. I picked him up, gave him some loves, then set him down, on his belly, and sent him on his way. Ah, mommy brain.

We all have those days, wait until you are yelling at one of your kids for doing something they knew better than, and you finish your yelling, then realize you were either yelling the wrong name, or the wrong kid altogether. That is fun!; February 18, 2008 at 8:34 AM

Kiddie Quotes

This morning Zaylee came up to me carrying my purse and said, "Mommy, here's your person!"
I had just washed my hair and blown it dry. It was very, um, full of body. Zaylee looked at it and said smilingly, "You're a lion!"
We were headed to the car, and Zaylee was about to run out into the parking lot. I grabbed her dress to stop her. When I let go, she said indignantly, "Hey, what's the big idea?" I didn't even know she knew that phrase!
I was driving with Zaylee in the car yesterday and we were both being quiet. To make some conversation, I asked, "How you doin' Zaylee?" She sighed and said, "Yeah, she is so pretty." I have no idea who she was talking about.
I was putting on the movie Princess Diaries, and I told Zaylee, "This is a movie about a princess." She repeated, "This is a movie. I'm a princess."
I had the vacuum out this morning after using it last night. Zaylee found great entertainment in pulling on the hose and watching it snap back into place. As I unplugged it and started putting it away, she said such things as: "You wanna pull on macuum, Mommy?" "Bye bye, macuum, have a good nap!" and, as I was putting it away in its closet, "I love you, macuum!" while making a kissing noise. How funny!
Zaylee mimics just about everything we say, though often makes mistakes in pronunciation. Today I offered her a cracker, saying, "Here, have a soda cracker." She took it and said, "Yeah, a super cracker!"
Jeff and Zaylee were playing on the floor. Wanting him to get up, she said emphatically, "Daddy, stand BOP!"
This morning Zaylee came into the kitchen where I was making breakfast. She was blowing very energetically in and out through her nose. I asked what she was doing, to which she replied, "I'm glowing!"
