Random Funnies

• Daniel has a new vocabulary: "I'm serious." "I've told you two times already." "Good God." "Hurry up, we're late, it's 7 o'clock."


• Jason took the wrapper off of Daniel's popsicle the other night and then proceeded to set it down on the table since we were still finishing up our dinner and Daniel says, "Dad, that's not the garbage. Does that look like the garbage to you?"


• Driving home yesterday, Daniel said, "Mom, can I have a TV in my room?" I said, "oh honey, I don't think three year olds have TVs in their rooms."... "But I'm bigger than that, I'm almost 4. Do you think that's something Dad could work on?"


• This weekend I was running errands with the kids. I opened the car door and Daniel jumped in as always, then I went around the other side of the car and put Adam in. I put the stroller and diaper bag in the very back. I pulled out of the parking lot onto Arden Way, made a u-turn to head back toward the freeway. I drove thru about three lights and just as we were making our way onto the on-ramp (nowhere to pull over) Daniel says, "HI, MOM, I'M RIGHT HERE!" I glance back and he's STANDING right behind the center console. (I thought, "HOLY SH!T!"). I shouted, "Daniel, get in your car seat! What are you doing?" "I'm right here" he says again. In a panic, I yell again, "get in your car seat now and buckle up!" I scared him and he started to cry a little bit. I said, "Daniel I'm so sorry, it's my fault. I forgot to strap you in! But stop crying, just get in as fast as you can and buckle up!" Ugh, it's no excuse, but lately Daniel has been awesome about buckling himself in, and all I have to do is tighten the strap. With my new "mommy brain," I have forgotten to buckle him in before, but he has always said something as soon as I get into my own seat before I even back out of the drive way or parking space. This particular day he was busy playing with a toy so he was distracted and I completely spaced.


• Daniel is a pro at Wii. His newest game is MarioKart. He knows how to turn on the console, maneuver thru all the options, and start his own games. He keeps saying he gets "24" when he's done no matter what place he ends up in. There are only 12 places.
