On a happier note...

Since the last entries weren't so uplifting, I thought I'd write a few of the boys' quotes that have made me laugh lately. Now I know that kids' quotes are nearly as funny to others as they are to the parents, esp since a lot of what makes them funny is the way they are said, but I want to write these down and remember them for me, so just bear with me when I write out what they say! :)

I was making muffins one morning. Dawson came into the kitchen. He watched me for a minute and said "Are you making pumpkins?" "No, muffins" "Muffins- oh yeah, that's right."

I told Dawson the other day to have patience when he wanted something. He responded "I can't have patience because you have bad patience."

Dawson was showing Silas the other day how to jump from his dresser unto Kenan's bed (no the huge bruise on his leg from before did not stop him). Silas was actually on Kenan's bed and I told him (after I told him not to jump of course) not to hit Silas. Dawson said, “I will kiss him and hug him if I hit him okay?” –pause- “Will I get a spanking?”  Talk about counting the cost- if it only required a kiss and a hug, he could still jump, but if a spanking was to follow, he wouldn’t do it. (I just decided to move Silas so there wasn’t an issue.)

Dawson came up to me randomly and said, “Silas is not a big boy-he has small ears.”

The other day it was raining as Brett went to work, Dawson looked at me and said “Daddy just went to work in the rain without his life jacket.”

This isn’t so funny, but I was just impressed with D’s logic. We were eating egg rolls and Dawson told me not to eat all of them. He then asked me how many had been in the kitchen, I showed him 4 fingers. Then he saw that there were 3 on my plate. So he said, “so there is one left in the kitchen.” Good thinking!

And here’s one for Kenan- not quite as funny, but still cute to hear him try to put it all together. Dawson was picking on him and calling him Baby. He just kept yelling “Me Kenan.” Finally, so upset by Dawson, he comes running to me, and said, “Mommy, Gaga (Dawson) me baby, me Kenan, aww” I assured him he was in fact Kenan and not a baby so with that extra confidence, he ran back to Dawson and said, “Me Kenan.” 

And just tonight Dawson came into the kitchen as Brett was rinsing of the dishes and said, "I CLEANED THE DISHES!...not all of them...that's  hard work."
