Baby Talk

Our conversation while walking to the library yesterday:

Nathan: After we get back I want to play Duck, Duck, Goose outside with Kathleen and Liam.

Me: We'll have to see how dark it is. (It is getting dark before 5 pm now--wasn't I the same person complaining about the sun being up until 10 pm this summer?)

Nathan: Well, then I'll just play in the basement with you.

Me: I'm not very good at Duck, Duck, Goose right now. It is hard to get up and down with Sarah
in my belly.

Nathan: Why Mommy? I want to play. (Insert whiny voice here--no one told me about this lovely side effect of turning 4)

Me: I will be able to play Duck, duck, goose again after the baby is born and I won't be so tired.

Nathan: Well, you have to push you know.

Me: Excuse me?

Nathan: You have to push when you have the baby.

Me: Where did you hear that?

Nathan: Like Becky when she had the twins on Full House.

(Full House strikes again--we rarely watch this show anymore, but apparently the lessons will forever stick with him.)


At bedtime while saying our prayers, I have taught the kids the prayer my mom said to me every night as long as I can remember...

Thank you God, for this day and all its many blessings.
Be with us and help us to have a good, safe night.
Amen.

Here's Hannah's version:

Tank you, God.
Aw mean. (This second part sounds suspiciously like Swiper's "Awww Maaaaan"....)

The picture is of the kids with their "Hola Socks" on singing, "Hola Mommy, Hola Mommy...."
