Out of the mouths of my littlest boys...

Park:

*While helping me make pizza dough one evening...

"You are forgettin' sumthing. You forgot da gun powder"

He meant baking powder.

*Our morning routine includes jumping on the mini-trampoline and/or playing with the exercise ball. Parker was sitting on the exercise ball one day and wanted me to make him bounce. He said, "I need you to jump me up".

*One day a couple of months ago, Park fell and clunked his head on the tile floor. It happened pretty early in the morning and was nothing major. Just a pretty good thunk that gave him a headache for a couple of hours. Close to midnight, I was trying to get him to settle down for bed. After a few minutes of quiet, he very dramatically grabbed his head (on the opposite side from where it clunked the floor) and said, "oh, oh, oh. My head really hurts. It hurts worser and worser when I lay down. I think I need to stay up all night to make it feel better."

Aaron:

*Overheard...
"Look at how fast I can wiggle my phalanges." (Just in case you are a little rusty on your medical terminology, phalanges are the bones that make up your fingers and toes.)

*Aaron was singing Amazing Grace while doing his chores. Jay and I had a good chuckle when we heard, "...that saved a wrench like me. "

* Wisdom shared while being my breakfast prep assistant=

"We are all special. Just different kinds of special."

A few minutes later, he was becoming a bit impatient in waiting for breakfast to be ready. He said, "maybe we should change the speed on the oven so it'll cook faster".
