Things I Never Thought I'd Say Part 3

Here's this week's sample...

"Yes, you are a big boy like daddy. But you can't ask every girl to marry you. You need to drive a car and have a job first."

"Get in this house. You may not play outside without pants on."

Raising boys is so much fun!

And examples of what I've told Katie this week...

"Yes, you are growing up, but I don't think you can wear my bra's yet."

"You may not sit on your brother's face to shut him up. Not only is it dangerous, it's gross. What if he bites you?"

I love being a mom. What would I blog about otherwise?!

Eli's a Big Boy

Recently we've been talking to Eli about getting rid of his pacifier (he calls it his bow bowf) when he turns 4. We've been wanting to give him clear warning that he will be throwing it away on his birthday so he wont be as upset. Well, this morning Katie was making Eli's bed and couldn't find the pacifier. She asked him where it was and he told her he threw it away in the garbage. She asked him why and he said "I'm big like Daddy. I don't need it". They came down and told me and he insisted that I leave it in the garbage can because he doesn't need it. Like I've always said when raising kids be it potty training, bike riding or whatever, they'll do it in their own time we just encourage!

Live Action Play Station

Katie is playing Play Station 2 tonight. She's playing an X-Men game. As she's playing it Eli is physically acting out all he sees on the screen. It amazes me how those kids can find a way to play a 3 year old and an 8 year old game all at the same time. My kids are amazing!

Gotham City is now safe

Eli just put on his batman pj's then put the cat mask from the dress up bin on me and said I have to be cat woman. Now he's running circles around me saying he's mad at me for being best buddies with Penguin. Love his playfulness even at 9 at night. Nighty night, Gotham City. You are now safe. Batman has captured Cat Woman!
