funnies from the week

"I'm almost grownd-up enough to carry sharp stuff," said Drew.

Drew: *toot*
Me: Drew, do you need to go poop?
Drew: No, Mommy. Do you need to go poop?

Me: I think the solution to not finishing your dinner so that you can play computer sooner is to not have computer time after dinner anymore. We should probably finish computer time before it's time to eat.
Lily: Yeah, that sounds good. Tonight was the last night I will do that until I'm 14. Does that sound good, Mommy? Maaaaybe 15. That will be a long time away.

Lily: Mimi has had lots of ouchies because she's reeeeeaaaallllly old. She gets hurt a lot. (My mom uses her past injuries as examples to encourage Lily to make safe choices. Instead, Lily just thinks that Mimi is always injured and clumsy.)

Julianna and I took Lily and Drew to the dentist this week. Julianna wanted a part of the action; so, when the kids were done I put Julianna in the dentist chair. First she said, "brush teeth" so I gave her her new toothbrush. She sat there for a bit studying the toothbrush looking for the switch to turn it on. Then she handed it to me and said, "turn it on!" She wanted the whole dentist treatment. Polish and all.
