I wish I had a built in voice recorder taped to me all day long! Between hearing conversations between kids at the daycare and my own daughter, I could laugh all day.
The other day I was taking two three year olds to the bathroom. While they were washing their hands, the little girl noticed that the boy had a picture of a skeleton with headphones on his shirt. She looked at it and said "what is that?" the little boy told her it was an alien. He then proceeded to tell her that aliens come and take you away and eat you.
Now, normally I would have put the conversation to a stop and re-directed them onto something else...but at this point I just had to see where this was headed.
He then proceeded to tell her that first they cut off your leg, then they eat you. The little girl said "nuh uh, cuz if they do that I'll just kick them!" and then she kicked the air with her cowboy boots. Then she said "and my daddy (who is a cop) has special zombie bullets, so he'll go 'pow pow' and then they can't eat me." Like I said, I usually don't let the kids talk about aliens eating people or shooting them, but it was hilarious!!!
Whenever we're at home during the weekends and Korbyn is taking a nap, she has this cute new way of letting me know she's awake. The first thing I hear down the hall is "mommy, I wake up!" I'll tell her "ok." Then she says "can I get up?" I'll say "of course you can." Then she tells me "ok mommy, I wake up and come give you a kiss!" and then she comes scurrying down the hallway with her darn bunny in her hand and gives me the best hug and kiss ever!
I've been joking with her that I'm going to put her bunny away because she's getting too old for it. But, it's definitely become a comfort for her. In fact, sometimes when she gets hurt or upset, that bunny is the first thing she'll ask for. I'm going to have to post a picture of what it looked like when she first got it and compare it to what it looks like now.
