Punk #3 was reading a book with Dadzoo tonight.It was about Predators.
Dadzoo asked punk #3 if she knew what a predator was.
She said “Oh yes, they are animals that are really rude to other animals.”
I guess you could say that!

Punk #4 is in that stage where kids say the funniest things. She is 4 and a half and is really trying to figure this world out
Good luck kid
Figuring the world out….
Anyway
Yesterday I was in the bathroom doing her hair for school. The girls tell me all sorts of things in the morning while I am combing and curling and fluffing their hair, I think it is because they know they have a captive audience. As I was putting an elaborate pony tail thingy in her hair she announces that she knows why Sarah (her older sister) had blood coming out of her foot (Sarah had a toe nail that got caught on something and started bleeding the day before.) Here is our conversation:
“Mama I knowed why Sawa had blood comin‘ outta her foot.”
“Why?”
“‘Cause she’d have too much blood in her foot and it leakeded out….knowed how I knowed ‘dat?”
“No, how?”
“Cause I berry smart, I hab a gweat big bwrain in my head….it knowed lots of stuff.”
Later that day she was throwing a major, major fit, and I trying to be a loving Christ-like mother said to her, very calmly:
“Honey, is this how Heavenly Father would like you to talk to me?”
In total exasperation, with her face red and hair flying she throws up her arms and yells
“I not knowed what He said, He not talked to me! I not heaw His boice!”
I couldn’t stop laughing!
This is what happens….
….when your 8 year old breaks her foot and finds out that she can’t jump rope, or run, or ride a bike, or swing, or as she says “I can’t do anything I like!”
Mama, my hair!
To say that my youngest daughter is a rough sleeper would be an understatement.
She always wakes up with the back of her hair in knots, always,and you can tell how well she slept by how big the knot is.
She is, what we like to call, a “brain rocker”. To help herself fall to sleep she rocks her head back and forth, and in the process ties her hair into big, fat knots!
Every morning we do the “Big Comb Out”
I plop her in front of her favorite cartoon and as gently as possible work on the rats nest that was at one time her hair.
After a few tears, we get to this: nice smooth piggy tails.
Occasionally we will get fancy and do some messy buns,
but mostly she gets piggies.
The reason for nice tight piggies?
Because when nap time rolls around…
the rockin’ starts and because I don’t want a repeat of the “Big Comb Out” tight piggy tails it is.
She is a master at working those piggies nice and lose and lop sided during her afternoon naps, but at least she doesn’t get the knots.
and that
Makes for one very
happy 4 year-old.
