funny stories.......

Ok-some funny liners from our kiddos......

Yesterday we all laid down to take naps because the 4th of July was a long day and night. So I knew that if I laid down with each of the kids, they would probably more than likely fall asleep. That would be a big accomplishment in this house, considering I don't remember when either of them took a nap last. So Cole was piece of cake (in a matter of minutes he was out.) So then I went on over to Gracie's bedroom and laid down with her. It was sweet and just took a short while too. I breathed a nice sigh of relief to see them resting peacefully.

Now for the cute parts....
Later last night, Gracie asks me: "Mom, have you ever been sitting/lying next to someone and you just felt lots of love coming out of you?" I said, "of course, you every day." She smiled and said, "well, that is how I felt today when you were laying next to me." Ahhhh.....my heart just melted. It was just the sweetest thing, I love her.

Now for the BOY part......Mr. Cole........

Eating lunch today (when we go out they like to play I SPY as we are eating.) It's just the 3 of us and Cole holds up a potato chip, smiles and says, "boobie." Gracie and I look at him and we don't even know if we are hearing him correctly. We say, "what?" He smiles with that mischievous smile he has, "boobie," he says again. I ask him what he means and grinning ever so proudly, "Mommy, my chip looks like boobies.!" What!! Gracie and I stare at each other and cannot help but laugh hysterically. I feel like I am now not only looking at Robert, but listening to him too!!! How inherent! Unbelievable. I called Robert right away to tell him and of course he was very proud. What a difference-boys and girls. He was just so happy and proud of himself for making Gracie and I laugh. On the way home, we had a talk about how he respects girls and their "boobies." He smiled the entire way home........OMG I have another one in the house!!! Oh dear-Help me!!!!!
