Birdy Quotes

You know you've been drinking too many Blue Moons when your toddler says:

Birdy Quotes

In attempting to get Lucas to bed tonight, I gave him three choices (trying to use my pediatrician skills of good parenting of toddlers -- giving toddlers choices that you can live with rather than open ended choices).

S: We need to brush teeth, put on pajamas, and read books. What do you want to do first?
L: Play.

L:1; S:0 = mommy fail

It's all easier in theory.

Birdy Quotes

We've been practicing names and since Jenny is visiting us right now we had even more names to work on:

M: What's mommy's name?
L: Mommy
M: No, what's mommy's name?
L: Steph-hon (yes that's what he calls me since Matt always says, "Steph"..."Hon")
M: What's daddy's name?
L: Matt
M: What's Jenny's name?
L: (thinking) Maybe grandpa? (It was a trick questions... I know).

Sprinkler Fun

Our friends Christy and Mike redid their backyard and it's amazing: gorgeous patio, great play space for the kiddos, beautiful eating area, and best of all a lawn with a sprinkler!

Twin Ella also ready in her strawberry bathing suit
