5,4,2, baby

My sister has four kids, three boys and a girl. The oldest boy is 5, then the girl is 4, another boy is 2, and the baby, a boy, is 8 mos. These are just a few things that have happened over the last few days.

Kid (2)~*watching me write in my notebook* Aunti Grace, what are you coloring?

Kid (4)~*looking at her reflection in a spoon* Wow! My head is huge.

Kid (5)~ Aunti Grace, dad says that our bodies are mostly made of water but water is squishyer than us so how does that work?
Me (old enough to know the answer)~ Uhh. . . You should ask Daddy.

Kid (4)~ Who's suitcase is that in the living room?
Me~ Uncle Mike's.
Kid~ Oh. I'm gonna go sit in it.

My sister~ What are you going to do in your nap today?
Kid (2)~ Talk and fuss and play.
The next day while being tucked in he muttered to himself:
"No talking,no fussing, no playing.

Baby dialing

I don't usually have the problem of "pocket dialing" people because I have a flip phone. My brother told me that he received 8 calls from my number while he was at work. Apparently the baby made several calls when I dropped my phone during the day. I try not to drop my phone now.

Little Montana Girl

      The 4 year old loves to sing while she's playing but she randomly replaces a word of the song with 'truck':

      I throw my hands up in the air sometimes, singing Truck, Truck!

      We're gonna make, make, make um do a double truck! (take)

All by my self!

I was reading a story to the baby and his big sister (4) she started to suck her thumb, and her head drooped on my shoulder.

Me~ Ok, I think you should lie down in your bed for a little while with three books; you don't have to go to sleep.

Kid~ Nooooooo. I don't want to.

Me~ I'll go pick your books for you.

Kid~ No, I wanna pick 'um my self.

Me~ Ok, I'll come get you in a little while.

I woke her up and hour and a half later. Note: 4 year old's want to do everything by them selves. Use this to your advantage.
