Just For Laughs

So that this momma can remember. . .

LOL #1

Last Tuesday, after Bible study, the toddler and I were in the car and I decided to apply something that I'd learned. The toddler was in his chair, talking to himself (as he frequently does), and I could catch a few phrases that involved hitting and time-out.

"Hey! Do you know what the Bible says?" I asked. "Let the words of my mouth be pleasing to Jesus!"

He thought about that for a little bit, and replied, "Yes, Mommy."

I beamed. It worked! Yay for my precious little baby!

And then, he shouted, "JESUS SAYS I CAN KILL SIMBA!!!!!!!!!"

Aaaaaand cue me laughing my bootie off the rest of the way home.

LOL #2

Last weekend, the toddler was very excited for his sweet friend Emmy's birthday party.

"It's gunna' be so much fun!" I told him as I tied his shoes.

"But, Mommy! Why!?" the toddler asked. (His new favorite question is: "But, Mommy, why!?")

"Well, you're going to eat birthday cake, and get a party favor, and there will be fun activities!"

"Titties!?" he shouted. "What's titties!?"

Aaaaaaand cue me laughing my bootie off.

The toddler is potty trained now (thank heavens!), and the other day we were sitting in the kitchen together and I got up to go to the restroom. When I got back, he asked me, "Did you check the mail?"

"No," I replied. "I went to the potty."

"Oh. . . did you go poo poo, Mommy? Was it a big poo poo?"

Aaaaaaaaaand cue me laughing my bootie off.

On a separate potty training note, when he got in the car today from Bible school, he said, "Mommy! I went poo poo in the potty! IT'S SO EXCITING!!!!!!" :)

Yes, yes it is. It is so.freaking.exciting. that I don't have to change your diapers anymore.

LOL #4

The toddler ran through the living room tonight, and announced to me, "Mommy! Girls like Nathan!!!!!!"

"What!? Why do girls like you?" I asked. Of course, I'm not at all surprised because he's perfect and adorable and precious and nice and handsome and oh dear Lord, yes I'm totally that mom.

"Because GIRLS LIKE NATHAN!!!!!"

Lordy, here we go. ;)
