My youngest is 5 years old. He is a lil monster...But I love him....
Today he was at his best. He got to go play on union county emergency vehicals... at first all he could think of as we pulled up to this event was " oh no there is a problem" then i exsplaned what we were doing he got really excited.... he asked the fireman, police and ambulance drive if he calls 911 if they would come to his house if it was him that called...of course every one told him yes...i could see his mind twirling and the grears grinding so we are going over what exactly 911 is for and not for...i think he really had good time....even though 2 days ago he said he don't love me anymore because i took his toy's away because he would not clean his room.....hope you enjoyed this i will post again tomorrow
"Z" was picking up toys and vacuuming the living room. She took the washing outside to hang it up. When she came back inside the lounge was a big mess again. She told her sons, "You are driving me crazy." Later that day, they went out for a walk. They met an elderly couple who stopped and asked the boys' names. "I'm Zack. I'm Zerjei and I'm Zander," said the youngest. Then pointing at "Z", Zander said, "This is Mommy. She's crazy!" -- Z. Green of Christchurch, New Zealand
The other night Kim was explaining their plans for the weekend to Katie, 3. Kim explained that they would be going to Huntington, W.V. to meet Muther (Kim's mom). She said they would spend the night at the Hampton Inn before Katie and her brother would go home with Muther to spend the week. Katie looked at Kim very seriously and said, "Is the Hampton Inn where Humpty Dumpty lives?" -- Kim Davidson of Kendallville, Indiana
The Davidson family is six months into the long process of adopting internationally. Katie, 3, is having a particularly hard time understanding why they can't just go "pick Claire up" each time they go to turn in paper work. The other night they were putting Katie to bed and she said, very calmy, "Claire called me today on my princess cell phone... She said that she is doing fine, but that she is ready to come home!"
The Morris family recently traveled to Qatar to visit their son, who is a career Army officer, and their son's family. They were noticing that they didn't see any animals around so Carol asked Jared, 5, why. He said, "Well, Grandma, there are two reasons. One, they hide in the desert. Two, there aren't any!" -- Carol Morris of Auburn, Indiana
Leah was just getting back into her car at the gas station when a sheriff's car pulled in. Leah's car was blocking his way, so she quickly started the car and backed up so he could get by. As he pulled around me, Leah smiled and said, "Sorry..." Her 14-year-old daughter Sarah commented, "Gee, Mom -- if that had been anyone other than a sheriff, you'd have said, 'Stupid...' " Leah vehemently denied it, of course. But after some consideration, she realized she was right! (Leah comments that nobody knows you like your kids.) -- Leah of Tampa, Florida
Carter, 5, has been bugging his daddy to quit smoking. The other day his mother was going to the drug store and Carter told her to get daddy a shoulder pad. At first she wasn't quite sure what he meant, then it dawned on her, he meant "the patch." -- Vicki (Carter's mom) of Navarre, Ohio
When Carter was 3 he had a sleepover at Grandma Elaine's house. In the morning they were having orange juice and Carter made a strange face and told Grandma there was hair in his orange juice. Of course, it was the pulp.
Kelly is a large collector of rocks, shells, gems, etc. Their family is leaving soon for a trip to Hawaii. Kelly told them that one place they have to go is "Black Pearl Harbor" so she can look for oysters with black pearls in them.
Apparently, Kelly must have seen a grasshopper making a high leap in the yard the other day, as she came running in the door shouting, "Mommy! Mommy! I think I just saw Tinkerbell!" -- Debbi Armstrong of Orlando, Florida
Casey, 8 was recently asked by the coach of a kids softball team if he would be interested in playing. The sign-up time had passed but since it was very early in the season and they needed another player, they made an exception. Casey has never played on a team but is a really good ball player. He came home and handed his mom the name and telephone number of the coach and then stated very matter-of-factly: "Mom, this team really needs me!" -- Traci Walker (mother of Casey) of Lebanon, Tennessee
