The things that come out of their mouth!

I'm in total awe of how fast my boys are growing up. We sure do have our rough patches, but the incredible stuff is what makes life interesting. Some of the things that come out of Jack's mouth just make my head spin.

The other day, we were out watering the garden, and Jack called me a "big fat ugly ogre". Way to boost a girl's self esteem little boy! I've been thinking a lot lately about him going to school and how impressionable little girls are. I don't want my sons to be one of the mean little boys who may say something off hand, but it would truly effect how a little girl will look at herself. So I told him we don't say mean things like that to girls. We only tell them that "girls are pretty". Fast forward a couple of days and he had told me to shut up. Now he has been warned that we don't use that in our house, and if he said it again, he'd be taking a bite of soap. So I asked him what he said and he quickly answered, "Girls are pretty". Oh little boy, I hope you remember that.

Just yesterday while sitting in the van, we were talking about what he wants to be when he grows up. He told me, "A doctor, a daddy, a mommy...". I replied, "Jack, honey, you can't be a mommy because only girls can be mommies." He thought for a second and told me, "Well, I'll be the daddy and Brenna will be the mommy. Brenna and I will get married because you're supposed to marry your best friend." Oh Jack, I hope that this is true and you do marry your best girl friend. It makes life so much more fun!

I've been slacking on blogging, but I will try to pick it up. We've been really busy with Jack starting preschool, MOPS starting back up and me becoming an Usborne book consultant. Hopefully things will start to get a schedule soon.
