Kid Quotes

A list on my phone, of cute/funny things that have been said and done by the kids lately, is growing.  I think it's time to put them down here.  

One day we were driving and Cason was trying to convince us to stop and get a drink somewhere.  He goes "My froat(throat) is drier than a bug that hasn't drunk for 2000 years."

The kids have these little toys that are basically made from yarn wrapped around wire or something, and there are a bunch of little characters.  Well Neely started unwrapping hers one day and pretty quickly unraveled the arms until they were gone.  Paige was comforting her and said "I'm sorry.  Flowery would have long arms if you didn't unwrap her.  But we can't change the past.  Because we don't have a time machine."

There are several for Neely, since she is a three year old and they are hilarious.  The girls were playing together one day and Paige told her "I'm the doctor who is measuring your head."  Neely said, all excitedly, "YEAH!  And I'm the person who drinks water when I'm tired."  

Another day Paige was telling Cason "Girls rule, boys drool."  Neely defended him and yelled "NO!  Cason is good.  Because I'm calling Cason good.  Because Cason loves me and I love to hug Cason."

She had a little bug one day, who she named "cloudy".  She told me "Mama, my bug cloudy's Jacob name is Bau."  Jacob name means your last name.  So I guess her bug is Cloudy Bau.  Ha.  

She'll sometimes be staring off in the distance, thinking deep thoughts, and then will suddenly share them with us.  One day it was "If someone doesn't have a doggy, someone has to share a doggy."  :)

They were big on playing Simon Says for a while there.  One day Neely wanted me to open a door for her and she told me "Simon says, OPEN THAT DOOR LIKE A MAMA!"

One day she told me "Mama?  God wants us to be happy....AND God wants us to go potty." 

She loves Daniel Tiger lately, and applies what she learns from it to her life all on her own a lot.  One day she and Cason were fighting about a toy.  She refused to give it to Cason, he stormed off, and after a minute she calmed down and called him back, saying "Okay, you can have a turn."  Then she sang a song from the show "You can take a turn, then I'll get it back".  

Another time they were building some Lego creation together, and she sang "Friends help each other, yes they doooo, it's truuuuue."  

Just last night she was begging to play "Marbly"(the Lego Marvel PS3 game she loves).  We told her no and she was NOT happy.  She threw a pretty intense fit for a few moments there, and then suddenly got quiet.  She started singing, "When you're feeling mad, take a deep breath.....and COUNT to four."  Then she held up her fingers, counted, and took a deep breath to calm herself down.  Ha!

She has bangs now, which you've all probably seen in pictures by now, but I hadn't mentioned it.  She'd been asking for a haircut.  I decided to try my hand at some bangs.  I watched a bunch of youtube videos  and gave it a shot.  They actually turned out pretty cute, and she liked them at first.  Then she started pushing them away from her forehead and telling me "I don't WIKE them upside down."  Ha.  

Paige got some bangs a few days ago too, and now Neely will let hers hang "upside down" to look like her sister.  :)  I don't have a picture of Paige's bangs yet, but here's one of her a few weeks ago when she lost her second tooth.
