Yogurt Spill

Think quick:  You drop a full quart of yogurt and it bursts open, spilling all over the floor.  What's your first reaction?



Don't let the picture fool you-the kids' first reaction was not to grab a spoon and dive in.

Lizzy's initial reaction was to jump off the chair, slide face first into the yogurt, and start licking!

So I stepped in and taught them some manners.  When eating liquids off the floor, please use a spoon.

 

(note for my moms: I had just swept, mopped, and steam sterilized the floor before we went grocery shopping.)

Loving Yogurt

This morning was rough for Nye till Lizzy took over.

Then it was all giggles.

Lizzy kept happily repeating, "It's gonna be a messy day!!"

Don't Play in Your Food!

Apparently if I host a playdate involving a baby tub full of spaghetti, I no longer have the "mom right" to utter those 5 words.

Worth it!

Say What?

Having a preschooler with an imagination leads you to say stuff like:

"Eat all the babies first and then you can eat the mom."


*We were discussing her small and large vitamins she needed to eat.  Nothing truly horrific.

Kids are Gross

Lizzy sneezed hard enough to need a tissue.  Soon she came hunting for a tissue and found that the box was empty.  After asking me what to do now, I suggested she go upstairs and get a tissue from the box in our room.  She's becoming slightly frightened of going to a different floor by herself so she looked around for another option.  Spying Nye's diaper that I had recently changed (and forgotten to put in the wash pail!), she happily chirped, "How 'bout I use Nye's diaper! That's a good idea!"

Oh no honey, that's a terrible, terrible idea.  ::gags::

Forget something?

Say you've gone to a sports lock-in and you forget a playpen?  No fear, just throw baby in with the balls.
The ultimate ball pit/playpen!

Snowmen

See the two piles of pink clay?  They are snowmen.  Lizzy's been making lots of them, but each has to have a friend.  When she asked me to come see her latest creation, I asked her their names.


Me: Oh!  What's his name?
Lizzy:  Ala-kima-wanna-loo.
Me: Wow.  What the other one's name?
Lizzy: Snowman.
