Little Rays of Sunshine: Child's Analysis of low water pressure

Child's Analysis of low water pressure

One day last summer, I was trying to fill up our dog's water bowl with the water hose. We had had very low water pressure and I did not know why yet (turned out to be the water valve). Elijah was standing next to me on the porch when I said allowed, basically to myself, "I wonder why the heck this water won't come out any faster than this?" Elijah, at 4-yrs-old, analyzed the situation and responded very matter-of-factly as he threw his hands out to express himself, "The battery's dead." LOL!!!

Boys

I recently caught my 3-yr-old wiping after he peed. lol

One day, he walked up to me and said out-of-the-blue, very matter-of-factly, "Mommy, my weewee's big." And used hand motions as if he was just having a normal conversation. I had to turn my head for a minute to keep from laughing and embarassing the little fellow. Then I just said, ummmm. well, if that is so, then I guess you have to go to the bathroom, so run, baby, hurry!
What else would you say if your little bitty son walked up and said that?
lol
That was definitely a first! Even after having two older sons. That was definitely a first!

New Hair Adornment

My 8-yr-old daughter awakened me at 2 a.m. this morning. She was crying and said she had gum in her hair. We walked into the kitchen, turned on the light, and behold! a pillow was attached to her hair! I was only up for about an hour prying her hair from the pillow, working peanut butter through her hair and the gum. Then finally it was bathtime at about 3 a.m. NEVER will I buy gum again. I hate it, hate it, hate it! I hate gum!

The Aunt with the Giant Spider

I'm sorry, but I just have to share this funny story.
Someone recently told me a story about a time when he was a child. He was about 3-yrs-old. He was being babysat by his aunt and he had to have a bath. His aunt put him in the sink and gave him a bath. Then when he had to be dried off, he gave her a hard time so she had to force him to lie down so he could be dried off. As his VERY LARGE aunt squatted to dry him off, a freak of nature occurred. That little boy saw what he thought was a giant spider and ran through the house screaming franticly, "Spider, spider! A giant spider!" He thought he had seen the biggest, hairiest, mean-looking spider in the world because she had nothing on under her dress and had accidently squatted the wrong way trying to wrestle this little boy to dry him off!!! Hahahahaha
That must've marked his mind for his whole life seeing such a thing at 3-yrs-old!

The Hairy Nipple

O.K. I must tell this story because it is hilarious! When one of my children was a newborn, he was still nursing and I had to go to the laundry facility at the apartment complex where I lived at the time. His father kept him only for a few minutes while I walked over there to change the laundry. When I returned, he had awakened and began crying for me franticly wanting to nurse. His father laid him close to him trying to sooth him until my return. His father was wearing no shirt. Suddenly, he felt something tugging on his nipple! That little fellow was trying to nurse from his father!!!! I can only imagine what he thought when he got a mouthful of a hairy nipple! HAHAHAHAHA! lol

Can't Post Today

Just since I sat down at my computer to post a new blog...
OH, YOUR NAKED AGAIN! (MY TWO-YEAR-OLD)
Then after putting on his diaper and sitting down, he climbed between me and the keyboard 8-10 times to run his hotwheel alongside the keyboard for a road. Then my 3-yr-old climbed in my lap screaming "Firecar, Firecar!" (Lightning McQueen). Then the baby tried to drag Elijah, my 3-yr-old out of my lap my the underwear. Then they tried to bite each other...
so I CANNOT POST TODAY. LOL

What is that thing in the toilet?

As my son first began to finally use the toilet doing the unspeakable, he made a game of it. Each time he went, he called my name across the house. When I reached the bathroom, he pointed into the toilet. The first time, he said, "Look! It's a french fry!"
The next day, he called me again to say, "Look! A hashbrown!"
The next day, he called to me again to look and said, "Look!" I said, "What is it this time?" He said, "Ummm...a shark!" lol
After he heard me tell my mother what he said, he changed it. He still called me to look, but when I asked him what it was, he said, "Uhhh...poopoo." And the next time, he said, "Uhhh...black poopoo." lol
I suppose I embarassed him telling someone else, so the fun was over.
What a unique little imagination!

A psychological hair cut

It is funny what a hair cut can do to a child. My 3-yr-old son refused to go to potty for the longest time. He would "peepee" but otherwise would not go.
I gave him a haircut about 2 months ago (his hair was down to his shoulders) and suddenly a change came upon him. Suddenly, he started going to potty every single time. He has not had an accident since then. AMAZING what a haircut can do to a child!

What you find under table cloths

My teenage son sat down at the table to eat cereal one morning. His bowl almost fell over as he set it upon the table. He lifted the tablecloth to see what was under it. To his surprise, there was a...CORN DOG! My 1-yr-old had evidently stashed it under there the night before to save it for later...
LOL
