How to Say “Bedtime” In Kid-lish
This evening during bathtime, Ethan began to wax philosophic while I scrubbed his hair. "Girls have babies in their bellies, not their bums. It would look really funny if babies came out of your bum!" While drying Ethan off, he started shivering. "Brrrrr! Brrrrr! Brrrrr-ito! Brrrr-ito! Mommy, that’s how you say, "Brrrr" in Spanish. They named the food after it because you keep them in the freezer before you cook them." It doesn’t say much for my culinary skills, does it?
We’ve been cracking down on Gideon’s thumbsucking habit, lately. The only time we don’t bother him about it is as he’s falling asleep at night. Tonight, as we walked out of his room with him all tucked into bed, he asked sweetly, "I suck my thumb for two minute?" He got his two minutes, though he was asleep before the first minute was up.
After we got the boys into their beds, we were gathering up Aurora’s babies so that they would be in her crib with her at night. They help her to put herself back to sleep when she wakes up at night. We found Pink Pony and set about looking for Curious George (or Butterfly Monkey, as he is also known at our house). I walked around with Aurora in my arms calling, "Geooooorge, where are you? Geooooooooooorge!" Aurora helped call for him, too. "Joooooooo! Joooooooo!"
I giggled through this entire post!
The bum thing…too funny. I look like I carried a baby in my bum.
And burrito is how you say brrrr in spanish. That is very clever! Seriously. I will be passing that on to my family.
And finally…Butterfly Monkey? Kids are so awesome.
When Lauren was little she had a weeble family (ya know…weebles wobble but they don’t fall down). She called them “bookas”. When I would pretend play with her I would walk them around and say “bookabookabookabooka” as I walked them around. When she started to speak she referred to them as bookas. We call them that to this day.

This post is hilarious! Ditto what Teresa said. I look like I carry a baby in my bum too.
Kids say the cutest things. Write them down so you will always remember.

I just love listening to the way kids try to figure things out on their own. It brings back memories of when mine were smaller.

BRendan did something cute today. I put the girls in Swaddle Me blankets at night. Anna spends the 6 am to 8 am hours in bed with mommy because mommy is too tired to argue about it. I went to get Julia this morning and left BRendan in my bed with Anna. Anna was all wrapped up in her swaddle me blanket and a hat. I came back in the room with Julia and Brendan says “I unwrapped your packge”. Then I look at Anna and he hat is off and the Swaddle Me blanket is off and she’s got a huge smile on her face. Yup, he had unwrapped my package.
