Kids Say... (May - Dec 2021)

Apparently I didn't document a single quote for 5 months.  I Went from April 1 to September 7. I am probably missing a lot of gems. 

---------

Me: did you have to play inside because of the air quality?

Liam: yea.  Air quality bad

9/7/21

---------

Liam was just in the freezer. I asked what he was doing. “Getting ice”. Then I asked why. He walks over to me with a cup of ice and water. He said “getting ice for you”.  It was my cup!

9/8/21

---------

Liam: Tickle me tickle me

Me: Why do you like to be tickled

Liam: It's funny

9/11

---------

Today I told Liam I was too tired to make dinner. 

He went and got 2 healthy beach bars. And gave me one. Said "your dinner. My dinner". Haha

We ordered dinner. But I mean Liam was so stinking cute!

9/16

---------

Getting ready to carve pumpkins. But styrofoam ones

Me: Liam

Liam: I don't want to put my head in the pillow

Me: Liam

Liam: no no no. No mommy.

He was right. I was about to say to do that

---------

Dave telling Miles he should build his vocation tomorrow since it's a burning day. 

Ella: Tomorrow isn't a burning day it's when everything's on sale. 

.... I'm so confused by the above. I don't know what it means but maybe when I read this at some point I'll figure it out.  I know Ella means the day after Christmas everything is on sale but the rest no idea.  Maybe Dave and Miles were going to burn wood in the smoker?

Earlier Ella has to create a word problem for school. She was lacking creativity so I gave her an example. I said "Miles had 8 cookies. Ella stole 6 cookies. How many cookies did Miles have left?" And Miles comes running in and said "mommy I want the 2 cookies" 

I was super impressed 

He wasn't happy to hear there weren't actually any cookies.

I have a real backlog of quotes that I stopped even documenting them.  But these are 2 years old! I started this draft post in February and it took me this long to even get it done! I had quite a few that just said "see memo" which meant I had to go back.

Yesterday I was playing Mario Kart with Miles.  He was behind but then you could see a couple people ahead of him in his screen. So I told him to try to pass them and get a better place. He then said come on mommy it's just for fun.  He didn't want me to be telling him stuff to do to make it better and just let him play nice.   I'm half asleep so doing a bad job explaining.  

But 12 or 1st he doesn't care. He has fun playing.

Said on 6/4

---------

Almost every night Miles tells me “I hope you have a good night's sleep”

---------

Earlier I went to the bathroom and left Liam with Dave on the bed. I didn't even take long but I hate Liam crawling up to and around the toilet. 

Well I came back. He was so happy. He hugged me so tight.

6/6

Ella: sometimes when I watch this show I cry
