Tidbits on the KidbitsI forgot to jot this one down, but it has helped me feel warm and fuzzy just remembering it:
I stayed indoors all day Saturday, feeling crappy and flu-ish, and needing to nap. Gil took the two younger ones out for a while, and Logan came in to check on me after a while. I was snuggled down in Daphne’s bed, enjoying the pink thistles on her sheets and the soft, thick duvet with ladybugs and swirls.
Logan: “Mommy? What are you doing?”
Me: ”Oh, honey, I don’t feel well, and I think I’ll lie down for a while.”
Logan: ”I think I know what will help you feel better.” He climbed up into the bed and nestled himself beside me and stroked my hair and gave me a kiss. Then he got up, rummaged around in the toy basket for a teddy bear, and tucked it in beside me where he had been a moment earlier.
Logan: ”There, that will give you something soft and furry to snuggle with.”
Me: ”Oh, thank you, honey, he feels wonderful.”
Logan: [hesitating] “Hmmmm. I’m trying to think of what else will help you feel good.”
Me: ”You’ve already helped! I think maybe just some quiet time will be best. Can you go play for a while and let me sleep?”
Logan: ”Of course!”
Me: ”Thank you honey, you’re being very nice.”
Logan: ”Mo-om, all 5-year-olds are like this with their mommies. Aren’t they?”
I write. A lot.
I also design stuff and collect funny things kids say. Oh, and please buy my book. It's very funny.
I also review books and keep track of them in The Mommy Blog Amazon Book Store.

My son was in the same room as me when I was getting dressed one day. I scratched the top of my left breast a little and he said, “Mommy, you are touching your —-!”
I said to him, “I just have an itch,” to which he responded, “That’s *your* excuse!”

Jax: Mommy, here’s a little piece of toilet paper to wipe the tip.
Mommy: The tip of what?
Jax: Your penis.

After being told to go outside and pick up the dog poop, he goes outside, whines and complains. He comes back in and says, “Mom, I think the dog over-pooped.”

When I woke up one morning with a sore throat, raspy voice, and fever, my three-year-old, Emilie, asked me what was wrong. I said, “Mama has a cold…” and she felt my cheek for a minute before saying, “No. You has a hot!”

Do you know how I memorized 2 x 11? I have this fake pencil in my brain, and it writes down the multiplication!!

That is so sweet. It reminds me of the time Critter (who was also 5 at the time) brought me a loaf of bread in bed where I’d been all morning with a horrific migraine. He thought I’d be hungry and wanted to make me lunch.

Awww… I miss my babies at that age. You make every day sound so warm and fuzzy.

Doesn’t it just melt your heart… Kate has taken to giving David her teddy also to snuggle with on the weekend mornings so he won’t get lonely when she and sister Jessie prode me down the stairs. Wish I would get the ‘teddy’ some mornings rather then the other way around.
