Super Mommy!

Becky was supposed to be resting on the couch. I could hear her talking to herself quietly from the kitchen. "Becky, stop talking."

"How do you know I am talking? How can you hear me?"

"Because I have super mommy powers."

"How?"

"Because I'm a super mommy!"

"No you're not, you don't have a cape!"

Proud Mommy Moment

We visited a new church yesterday and we were late getting Becky to her class. We slipped her in her class and went to service. When we went to get her the teacher asked me if our last name was Cerezo. I said yes. He said that they had asked her and she told them "I'm Becky Cerezo, C-E-R-E-Z-O" Awww, she can spell her last name! And she says it better than mommy!

Dora Impressions...

Emma has become a HUGE fan of Dora, to the point of using it as a reward or taking it away for a consequence. Her new specialty is to say: "oooohhhh maaaaannnn" when she doesn't get her way, like Swiper the Fox. It cracks me up every time~~!!! LOL

Honesty

A few weeks ago Emma was throwing a fit in the kitchen about something she wanted.

So I asked her:

"Emma why are you crying??"

"I'm NOT crying, I'm whining!!!"

Well, at least she was being honest!

Hey you!

We've taught our kids not to talk to strangers. Today, a neighbor girl was walking her dog and invited Becky (who was playing outside) to pet it. Just then we called her inside to eat dinner. She came in, but then ran back out to tell the girl that she couldn't pet the dog. This is what she said: "Hey stranger!" (we gently told her not to call her that...) Becky then says: "I mean uh, Strangeeerr! I can't pet your dog, some other time ok Stranger?"

Um yeah, I'm glad I was in the house--- because I would've been really embarrassed.

The Gospel according to a 5 year old!

Me: "Becky, why don't you play with Grace while I do her hair so she doesn't cry."

Becky: "Ok! Here Gracie, I'm going to show you something." Becky got a sock and put it on her hand to do a puppet show! (Very creative I think BTW.)

"Jesus loves us, Jesus died on the cross for us because He loves us so much. And when you're 5 you don't get spankings anymore because you learn to obey. Jesus doesn't spank us, He loves us."

Modesty...

Yes so, we are tying to teach modesty to our girls.

Emma still needs help in the bathroom... she calls to me:

"Mommy, I need help- but don't look at my butt!"

Um, how am I going to help you if I can't look at you? ROFL

Much to my mother's disdain, I have regretfully taught my girls how to do this:

"Guess what?"

"What?"

"Chicken butt!" hahahahaha

and to sing this song:

"Naked butt, naked butt, you have a naked butt (or I have a naked butt)."

Poor Grandma tells the girls that different families say different words to refer to their bottoms. Bottom of what? Exactly.
