Random: Apples, Sleeping & Funny Conversations

This is going to be a random post of things that simply make me smile - I hope they make you smile too.

Apples

We recently gave apples to Reese for the first time.  Maybe this is where "Apple Pucker" came from?!?

Sleeping

Oh, how I love moments like these.  I wish we could have more of them!

  

Funny Conversations

Oh, Colden...some of the things that you say just crack us up! 

(Please, please, please never lose your sense of humor)

At the dinner table...

Colden:  Can I have chips?

Me:  Not until you eat all of your peas and carrots

C:  All of them?

Me:  Yes.  I don't want to see any peas or carrots left on your plate

C:  Then close your eyes mommy.  Now can I have some chips?!?

Standing at the top of the stairs before bedtime...

C:  Can I go downstairs and bring my car up for bedtime?

Me:  Sure, go ahead.  I will wait here for you.
(Looking downstairs and then back at me)

C:  I can go downstairs by myself.  There's no such thing as monsters.  I'm not scared.
(Looking at the dark downstairs and then back at me)

C:  OK.  I'm a little scared, even though there is no such thing as monsters.  You stay right there.
(Looking at the shadows on the walls of the dark downstairs and then back at me)

C:  OK.  I'm scared.  Come downstairs with me.

Colden listening in on a conversation about Nanny...

Mike:  How is jury duty going for your mom?

C:  What?

M:  Nanny is on jury duty.  I was asking mommy how it was going.

C:  Daddy, we don't say that!  That's a bad word!

M:  What's a bad word - we don't say what?

C:  Doodie is a potty word.  We don't say doodie outside of the bathroom!
(Trying desperately to control the laughter)

M:  You're right.  Nanny is on jury service.
