Dinner Choices

I was asking Darin what he wanted for dinner tonight and I gave him two options. I asked if he wanted pizza or Chinese. He said he wanted something else. I said that wasn't an option. He said, "That's my option."

"Mom, does the monster in our tummy say 'more food'?"

exercising

"Is coloring exercising, Mom, or not?"

"I do, because my brain is saying I do."

"His brain was going down to his foot.  That's why he was sad."

Darin wanted to help out with dinner, so I told him to go wash his hands, to which he asked, "And behind my ears, Mom?"

"I want to eat with my hands because I am a little tired."

"Can I wear two shirts like my dad?"

I was practicing saying yellow with Darin, and he said, "ye ye pink."

"Why do monsters not shave?"

I was tucking Darin into bed tonight and said, "I love you, baby."  As I was leaving he says to me, "Mom, only little people are babies."

Prayers

We were putting Darin to bed, so I said, "You need to say your personal prayers." Darin says, "Two?"  I said, "No, just one." So Darin says, "But you said prayers."

"Why did you put all this stuff in here where I can see it?"

"Jesus said we need to balance," as he stands precariously on the arms of his booster chair.

Darinberry

I was making Darin a sandwich and asked him if he wanted strawberry or marionberry in it.  Instead, he asked if we had any Darinberry for his sandwich.

Growth Spurt

Darin and Logan both ate a TON of lunch today, so I asked them, "Are you two going through a growth spurt?"  To which Darin replied, "No, a boy one."
Me: A boy spurt?
Darin: Yes!

We were playing outside  in the water when Darin needed to go to the bathroom.  He ran up to me and said, "Mom, I need to pee my pants!"  He was really trying to say that he was going to pee his pants if he didn't go to the bathroom right now.

Danielle is staying with us because she's sick, and Darin kept saying to her, "Danielle, how are you?  If you need anything, my mom will know."

"I am a teamwork."

Tired?

Usually in the morning Darin and I  go and get Logan out of his crib.

But this morning Logan and I went in to get Darin up, but when we came in to say good morning, he said: " I am too tired for Logan."
