Just A Teaser

     "So", you may ask, "what makes your kids so special that I should waste my valuable, wasting time on the internet time, on coming to read about them".  AWWWW, so glad you asked!!!!.....

     Well, to be honest, I have no idea what makes them so special.  They just came that way.  :P  However, I do feel I owe you something in the way of back-story proof as to why you MIGHT just end up with a smile on your face if you come by to visit.  Therefore, may I present, some of Abbie's greatest quotes, at least from the past couple weeks!  We have only recently stumbled upon the Rosetta Stone that unlocked Emma's language world, so stay tuned....man, does she talk a lot!

The Scene:  Walking into a public restroom.  The cleanest, by the way, that I have ever seen

The Players:  Abbie (A)

                      Mommy (M)

The Action: Abbie enters with Mommy, surveying the scene, giving everything a thorough going over

The Dialog: A- "Well, this is just horrific!!!"

                    M- Has nothing, literally nothing

The Scene:  The kitchen, regular dinner hour

The Players: Abbie (A)

                     Mommy (M)

The Dialog: M- "Abbie, what do you want to drink for dinner"

                    A- "I PROPOSE....((dramatic pause))....that I will have lemonade"

The Scene:  The pediatric ER, second visit in two weeks

The Players: Abbie (A)

                     Mommy (M)

                     Daddy (D)

                     Emma (E)

The Action:  Everyone is sitting around, waiting for the doctor.  The nurse has already come in, recognized us and laughed, because, well, we were here two weeks ago....for a bead....in Abbie's ear....that they couldn't get out!  We are now here because.....there is a bead....in Abbie's nose...which, for the record, is not her disobeying because your nose is most definitely not your ear!

The Dialog: M- "Abbie, honey, it's not that fun for Mommy and Daddy to keep bringing you here, you know?  Mommy had to leave work and Daddy had to get Emma all ready and bring you all here.  Don't you think you owe Daddy an apology for making him bring you here today?"

                   A- ((Big, deep breath, looks at Daddy)) "Well, I am sorry Daddy.  But for the record, I can have grilled cheese for dinner."

Airport Waiting Area

A- "Mommy, that lady is brown!  Why is she brown?"

Our airplane seat mate sits down next to us

A- "Mommy, he is big, he is so so big!"

In the kitchen, Abbie wants raw broccoli.  Mommy gives her a small piece

M- "Just see how you feel about that before I give you more"

A- "I feel terrible about it"

In the bathroom, end of a very long day, Abbie is kind-of whine yelling at Mommy.

M- "Abbie, it's not fun for Mommy when you yell at me"

A- "Mommy, I wasn't yelling at you.  I was yelling at myself"

M- "It felt like it was directed at me"

A- "No Mommy, it was directed at me!"

      I don't know if that is enough to keep you coming back, but I promise....more....so much more;)
