Child Services

One of these days, if my kids don't learn how to talk, I'm going to get a visit from Child Services!

So, Derrick can now say it ok, but up until recently, he would mix up the "p"s and "c"s in popcorn, and call it "cockporn." He loved yelling out our old home's window, "Girls" and "Booty" - later I would figure out he was excited to find squirrels and birdies outside.

Evie calls cookies, "cockies." She has a video that has frogs on it, and instead of yelling froggy - she yells "f*cky". I gave her a spoon one day, and she yelled, "No want spoon. I wanna f*ck." No Eve, you don't. And today, she pulls her pullup on after going potty and kind of got it on weird, and she said, "Ouch. My penis." No Eve, you don't have one, but I have to admit Ryan and I were laughing pretty good at that one. I think it's time to teach Derrick "girl" part names and Evie her parts' names also!

When I went home and stayed at Mom and Dad's, I took Derrick into town with me to get a newspaper. I wasn't going to get him all unbuckled and drag him thru the snow to pick up a newspaper at the storefront. So I asked him if he would be a really good boy and Mommy would run super fast and get the paper and run back to the truck. He looked at me and said, "No Mommy. You go slow. You be careful." Kinda cute - he remembers me saying not to run in the streets :o) So I come back and ask him if he was good while I was gone. With this HUGE smile he yells, "Yes I was! Mommy, I like it when you're sober." WHAT?!?!?!? He said, "Oops, I mean slower." I'm like - when have you EVER seen me drink? I only do that when you're sleeping. Just kidding. Seriously, in the last 4 1/2 years, I've been pregnant and nursing twice, I can count how many times I have had a drink! Ha! I'm so glad no one was around to hear that but me!

Kids. They are so innocent -they have no idea that what actually comes out of their mouths is a naughty word. They are just trying - and it's fun to keep these stories so I can tell them later in life what they used to say!
