Sterling was sitting on my lap and I told him I'd like to talk to him.  I then asked him to tell me about a bunch of things and people.  Here are his responses.

Tell me something about:

Santa Clause - he says "ho ho ho".

Reindeers - they fly.

Cooper (the cat) - he eats his food.

Eden - she goes bonkers and crazy.

Harrison - He plays games.

Zoey - She watches movies.

Daddy - He goes "Aaaaaaahhhhhh" (in a screech)

Me (mommy) - You do homework.

Grandpa - He says "Fee Fi Fo Fum"

Then he says, "Okay, now let's talk about me!"
Ha ha ha

I told him to tell me something about him and he told me he likes to watch movies and he likes the color green.

Toast

It's 11:00am.  The kids and I have been waiting for Jim to bring back donuts for a while now.  We're hungry so I ask Eden if she wants toast and she agrees.  

As I'm taking the bread out she tells me, "I don't like my toast heated up, Mom."

"So you just want bread then," I ask. 

"Yep."

"Okay, that's just called bread than, not toast."  

Ha ha.  She cracks me up!

Sad little girl

Eden has been crying long after Sterling has fallen asleep.  He often falls asleep first and she will just sing and jibber jabber to herself and her animals.  Tonight she has been crying and yelling.

I just went in to check on her and this was our conversation:

Me: What's wrong, honey?

Eden: I don' know!

Me: Are you sad?

Eden: Yes, I sad.

Me Why are you sad?

Eden: Because I don't knoooowww.

Then she decided to call Grandpa and tell him ni-night.  So, we called grandpa...and she refused to talk to him.  Well, for a minute anyway.

Best friends

Sterling:

Mom, Rocket is my best friend.  Rocket's a toy but he's still my best friend.

Oh hell, I need to get this kid out more.  

Candy Corn

Sterling:

Hey Moooooom! If we put candy corn in my cereal it could make it yummier mom.

Me:  

No, that sounds gross buddy.

Sterling:

No mom, I love it!

Sterling 4, Potty/Mom 0

Today I officially began to potty train Sterling.  

Let's just say it wasn't all sunshine and roses...or clean floors and dry undies.

I know several people who have had success with the potty training in a day method.  That didn't happen here despite my strong desire.  

He peed in his pants three times.  He pooped in them once.  He did NOTHING in the potty despite his many attempts.

Oh well, we'll go again tomorrow.

Ladies Man

Harrison is telling me about a girl who is texting him and how he doesn't even really know her.

I told him to be nice that she obviously likes him.

"Mom, there's not a girl alive who doesn't like me."  He says as nonchalantly as if he just told me that he needs clean socks.
