This age is HILARIOUS and so incredibly sweet. I wanted to share some recent conversations that had us smiling pretty big!
Me: Looks like you guys learned fire safety yesterday! Do you remember what you do when there's a fire?
Sloane: Stop, drop, rolllll!
Jude: and whip nae nae!
On October 4, Sloaney prayed all by herself for the first time.
Sloane: Dear Jesus, thank you SO much for my family and (senseless chatter). Amen!!
(Many nights after we've put the kids to bed...)
Jude: Hellloooooo? It's me, Jude!!
Sloane: Mama, you have big hair.
Me: Big? Really?
Sloane: Yes. Big. Biiiiig hair. I have little hair (makes "little" hand gesture with her fingers). One day I'll have big hair too!!
Me: Jude, can I have a hug?
Jude: Of course!
Sloane: Mama, I'm sick. I need to go to the doctor.
Me: What hurts?
Sloane: My elbow.
Me: Really? Anything else?
Sloane: My finger.
Me: I'm sorry! Does your elbow still hurt?
Sloane: Nope.
Me: Does your finger still hurt?
Sloane: Nope.
(After giving them suckers for the very first time...)
Me: Well, what do you guys think?
Jude: Deeeeelicious!
(Whenever dad gets a haircut...)
Sloane: Daddy! You got a haircut!
(After I chopped off at least six inches of my hair...)
Sloane: (crickets)
Me: Sloane, did you notice mama got a haircut?
Sloane: Oh... right.
Me: Jude! Get in bed right now!
Jude: Huuuugs! (reaches out)
Me: Jude! Do not (throw/kick/toss/push/hit) your (toys/sister/cat/food)!
Jude: Huuuugs! (reaches out)
(After completely messing up my hair while trying to attempt beach waves...)
Sloane: Woah mama, your hair!
Me: Does it look that bad?
Sloane: Yes.
(To be continued...)
