The things kids say...

Lily, on the way to the park: "I'm so 'cited! We're going to park! I'm so 'cited! Yahoo! We're going to park!"

Lily after the fireworks at a barbecue: "I too scary!"

Noah at the blueberry orchard after Elias kept grabbing handfuls out of his blueberry bucket: "They should baby-proof these buckets."

Noah likes to play "the beat game" as in, "Can I beat anybody at anything?". We often race up the stairs, well, pretty much anytime more than one person is going up stairs at a time. Noah yells, "Let's beat Mommy!" and runs up the stairs. Most of the time he wins but every once in awhile I get there first. So one day he's sitting eating his lunch with a thoughtful look on his face and he says, "Mommy, I made up a new rule for the beat game. Whoever is first and last wins." I'm pretty sure it doesn't have anything to do with the Scripture verse that says the first shall be last and the last shall be first and everything to do with him covering his bases. The boy doesn't like losing.
