What my 3 year old blurted as my mother-in-law opened the door to my realtor who stopped by to drop off some paperwork. Yes, she heard it. And no, I wasn’t there. Thank goodness.

Thursday, June 10th, 2010Reichen: “Mommy, look at that lady! She has HUGE boobies!”
What my 3 year old said after seeing Kim Kardashian on the cover of this month’s Shape Magazine.
By the way, I’m not really sure where Reichen picked up that particular word. It’s certainly not how I refer to that specific part of the female anatomy. But if I had to guess, I bet the guy he heard it from lives in our house and his name starts with a D, ends with a D and has an A-V-I in the middle.

Toddler Talk
Friday, April 16th, 2010Reichen: “Where did the bubbles go, Dadda?”
The question my 3 year old asked after his father, my husband, told him it was alright to urinate outside for the first time this afternoon. David explained bubbles are only a perk when you pee in the potty. The perk when you pee outside: writing your name anywhere you want.
Of course, I was not there for that conversation. I only learned about it after Reichen excitedly volunteered all the gory details at dinner.
Sigh.
A Potty Poem
Monday, March 29th, 2010Whatever your brother does, you want to do, too
Riding bikes or playing cars, it doesn’t matter to you.
But you catch me by surprise with your latest request
Going tinkle on the potty is such a big boy conquest.
‘HELP MOMMA’ you say while giving your pants a yank
There’s no way, he’s not ready, this must be a prank.
But I plop you on the potty and you sit there and smile
I tell you to be patient since this could take awhile.
We wait and we wait, and I promise you’ll see
And before we both know it, you’re going wee wee.
I yell for your brother so he can celebrate too
He gives you and hug and says, ‘I’m so proud of you!’
I know it’s not over and it’s just the beginning
But you and me together – we can do anything.
