Kids Say the Funniest Things

I would love to write a book someday about all the cute, funny, embarassing things kids say. For now, I have them written in my kids' journals but I wanted to share a few:

Saturday morning, Aidan came into bed with us (as Ella and Aidan do every morning) and had this 3D magnetic cow puzzle he was playing with. After putting it together, he had it under the covers. Ella asked, "Aidan, what did you do with the cow?" Aidan replied, I hid it under a bushel." Matt and I couldn't stop laughing. I guess scripture reading does leave some impressions!

Nicholas - age 2 1/2 eating yogurt
N - Mmmm. Mommy, what kind of yogurt is this?
M - It's boysenberry.
N - (after quite a pause) Oooh! I wonder what girlsenberry flavor tastes like!

Ella - age 3
Matt - C'mon, Honey, we have to put on your socks and shoes. It's too cold for bare feet.
Ella (puzzled) - Daddy, why do you call my feet bear feet?

Aidan - age 2
Me - (in a hurry to get out the door) Aidan, we need to change your diaper. Hurry.
A - But, Mommy, I dont' want you to say 'yucky.'
M - Okay. Sorry. I won't
A - But, I don't want you to say 'gross' either.

I felt so bad. Poopy diapers at 2 1/2 were not pleasant, obviously!

Today, after family prayer, Aidan was too active to stop and give me a kiss. I made a really big sad face. Aidan said, "Mommy, stop doing that." Ella added, "You look like a troll!"

Below is why I love and insist that Aidan and Ella share a room. Here's a short conversation between. They didn't know Matt and I were still inside the room when we turned off the lights:

E - Aidan, are you filled with the spirit of God?
A - Yeah.
E - Me, too.
A - Touch me not.

Oh the laughs we have at our house thanks to our children!

You are thoughtful and care very deeply for your family. A loving home is of great importance to you and you always try to make people feel welcome. Although you have a great capacity to love, you also have a great capacity to hurt, so at times you can be sensitive. You're firm when you need to be, but people trust your judgment and appreciate the kind way you always handle things.

Playing Opposites

I have been discussing opposites with the kids lately. Today (Oct. 1 ) we were doing an opposites puzzle and Aidan was doing amazingly well (turned 3, 3 months ago). There was a picture of fire with the word "hot." Here's the conversation: Me - What's the opposite of hot? Aidan - warm. Me - Well, not quite. Okay, fire is hot. What is ice? Aidan - slippery! LOL :)

Aidan - "See, I can do opposites with my toes!" ??
