Tiny Talk Tuesday

Mary, at Not Before 7, is hosting Tiny Talk Tuesday!

Tiny Talk Tuesday is a fun way of remembering the things our kids say. Those things that make us laugh or that mark this time in their lives. Here are the Tiny Talks we've experienced this week:

Lately, HC has been VERY interested in knowing how old ALL her friends are. If they are 5 already she is almost devastated! I have to remind her that there will be kids who will be 4 just like she is when she becomes 5. She will have her turn to be 5 soon enough. I do not know when/how all the excitement built up concerning turning 5 but HC is all about being 5!! For a short time HC would think her friends could not be her friends still if they were already 5 - as though she hadn't made the cut suddenly. Another new development is that she goes around the house and randomly decides to try to touch things she once couldn't reach. Then you hear "MOM!! MOM!! Come fast!! I HAVE to show you something! It is SO important! Hurry Mom!! Hurry!" To only see that she reach a millimeter further on her dresser than she could last week (when she announced a similar emergency). She follows the moment with "Mom, I can reach this far because I am almost 5!" It has been fun watching her excitement build up for her birthday!! Fun times! I just hope her birthday party does not disappoint! I am still not clear as to what we will do for her party this year!! Such a big one, as far as HC is concerned!!

While we visited our cousins in Baton Rouge, a few weeks ago, the most common phrase we heard was (in unison most of the time) "{Insert much giggling and then}I'm JUST JOKING!" They would say something that wasn't true and all say "JUST JOKING!!" The laughter was contagious after this phrase. They thought it was HILARIOUS to say just joking! It was actually funny in person!

A few days ago I was painting HC's fingers and toes and JB took off his sock and shouted "Snowball fight!" as he aimed his stinky socks at us! Of course this drew screams of terror from HC! :) JB has a sense of humor that HC just doesn't appreciate sometimes!!
