questions and more questions

while knocking on her head...
mom is Aila's head made of plastic and so it makes loud knocking sounds?


nolan: mom [remember how every question begins this way?] what are those little things that go crawling up your buttcrack called
me: uhhhhh (dumfounded)
nolan: i remember. wedges (not wedgies). they're called wedges, right?

Mom- there is this girl at school and i don't like girls and she yells at me and says mean things and so I don't want to go to school anymore (it was even more run-on actually). If I go to school I'm going to just leave.

Nolan you have to stay there- what if mommy came to get you and you had left?? I wouldn't know where to find you! I'd be so sad :(

Oh Mom! (he shakes his head) you'd pass me on the way in!

lessons from yo gabba gabba

watching yo gabba tonight, we saw the song about talents. nolan started singing the song back perfectly on key about all of his talents like swimming and riding his bike and playing with his friend eli, etc. i then asked him what my talents were and he started singing the same things so i asked, "no really, what do you think my talents are?"
and he told me :) then he told me aaron's
both made me smile! they can really sum up a lot about life sometimes and it seems we might just be doing okay as parents
mine: riding my bike, loving him and loving my friends, fixing lights and making breakfast
aaron: riding his bike, playing with him, looking on mom's computer and throwing the ball

"yeah- i don't want to die. soooo i drink lots of water."
good idea nolan, good idea.

i was talking about something to aaron (don't even remember what) and suddenly from the backseat, nolan says "ah stop it mom- you're just making stuff up!"

yesterday he pointed to a speed limit sign and said to look at the two fives. i asked him what two 5s together are (55) and he said...... fast :)

"mom, that aila! she sure is mobile isn't she??"

thanks for the grub and the comic relief

at dinner tonight- we were praying (led by nolan). and it went something like this:
"dear Lord- thank you for this day" (pause) "mom i need some applejuice"
me: nolan we are praying
"okay. dear Lord- thank you for this day. thank you for food" (pause)
"thank you for food. friends" (pause) "hold on- i need to toot and i should do it the other room"
me (smiling): ok- by all means
we did eventually finish the prayer btw....
