So there are things as a child grows up that makes a mama so proud. Like when they can express their feelings and carry a conversation of those feelings, talk about their siblings and how much they love them and want to be around them.
Like when Kenny, my three year old, while we are making crafts, will hug me, grab my face to look at him and say "Mama, I so proud of you," Yep total mom into mush moment there.
Or when he lays his head on my chest and says "Mama I can hear your heart. It goes boom boom boom. I love you, sometimes you make me happy."
"Spider-Man is my best friend forever and ever. He will always be with me."
"I'm a little pig with hair on my chin chin chin. Mama you big bad wolf. Blow my house down"
"Getting dressed isn't so bad mama"
"Kenneth Iziah...."
::shakes finger at me.:: "I not Kenneth Iziah, I Kenny Bubble Iziah" (Bubble is a nickname my husband has given him)
BUTTTTTTT..... there are MANY moments where he leaves me scratching my head wondering where he got this smart little sarcastic sadistic personality... and than I remember who is his parents.
"Kenny, look you used to like Papa."
"No I don't."
"Yes, see here's a picture of you with Papa."
::shows picture of 6 month old Kenny with Papa::
"I was crying."
"No you were laughing."
"No, I was crying on the inside"
Kenny: Aunt Danielle suns up nap time is over
Danielle: give me a few minutes and I'll be up
Kenny ::pulls the blanket off of Danielle:: NAP TIME IS OVER!! ::walks away::
::Kenny sits next to me on the couch and grabs my phone, unlocks it and opens Angry Birds::
"Thanks for sharing your phone mama"
Ummm you're welcome Kenny?
"Kenny you need to take a bath."
"NO! I'm a good guy! NOT ME!"
"Happy birthday Kenny!"
"It's not my birthday! There's no cake!"
I have 2-10" subwoofers in my car. DISCLAIMER: they are never hitting hard with the kids in the car. We had to take them out for our visit to PA. Well my electrician husband when he put them back in, on the one sub, he crossed the wires so it sounded horrid. And when I figured it out, I came inside and told my sister that the boom is back. Of course Kenny made us scratch our heads when he exclaimed, "Mama! Your speakers are back! Now I can play Umi Zoomi!"
"Kenny look you have a birthmark on your leg."
"NO IT'S A FIREFIGHTER SPOT!"
"Where you going Kenny?"
"I got to watch Josh get his diaper changed"
"Why?"
"Cause he told me to watch."
"Mama, what is that?"
::points to birthmark on my arm."
"Well Kenny that's a birthmark, you some too."
"OHHHHH LIKE THE DOT ON MY PEANUTS!?"
"...."
"Mama, there's no snow because I peed on all of it."
"Daddy I missed your phone"
"Oh you didn't miss me?"
"I missed you too. And your phone. I missed you both but I missed your phone."
"Aunt Danielle you woke me up."::mad face::
"Kenny you are waking me up."
"Oh."
While trying to wake grumpy butt, Josh babbles in the living room. And Kenny pops straight up and says "Josh is awake. He needs me. Not you."
"Ceili's at school right now. We'll see her later."
"She's being bad at school? That's not nice to be bad at school."
::Kenny falls::
"Sissy, you kiss my butt?"
"Kenny, no, I don't kiss butts"
"Mama you were in my tummy"
"No you were in my tummy"
"No you were Josh's tummy and now I need to eat cause I have a baby Kenny in my tummy"
Kenny: Mommy Meg I have to poop.
Meghan: Okay let's go.
*waits patiently while Kenny pushes with all his might*
Kenny: Mommy Meg this is the biggest poop in the world! Wanna see!
#FacePalm
Meghan: Sure Kenny...
"Kenny we are going to the bowling alley and guess whose going to be there?"
"A..... BOWLING GUY!"
"No, Santa! we got to get ready."
"But.... but.... I don't have a bowling shirt."
And that is all for now. My laptop is lagging and irritating me, so as I sift through my history, I will post more.
