Cottage Cheese

This morning Kaleb spit up on his chin, Kelsi gags and says "mommy he puked"
I tell her "It's just cottage cheese" as I wipe it off
She says "no, it's puke" with a disgusted look
Matt asks "where do you think cottage cheese comes from?"
she says matter of factly "Safeway"
So I ask "so where do you think Safeway gets their cottage cheese?"
she replies "Maybe from Fred Meyer?"
so I ask "and where does Fred Meyer get theirs?"
Kelsi with a gross look on her face says "I don't know"


No wonder Safeway's food is higher priced, they buy it at Fred Meyer!!!

Accidents Happen

I spilled milk and Kelsi tells me "Accidents happen mom" in a matter of fact tone.
I say "what?" 
She tells me "Accidents happen mom, it's O.K. just get a towel and clean it then you can get more milk" 

Sleeping in Two Places

Kelsi wakes up and walks into my room Crying "mom where's Tarli?" legitimately concerned
I reply "In her room, on her bed."
She goes and checks and reports back seriously distraught "mom her wented to sleep on the floor and now she's in her bed and thats TWO places! that's not OK!" 
I give her a look like your kidding me, RIGHT?? She's GOT to be kidding here!!  And I inquire "Kelsi, where are we supposed to sleep? The floor or in bed?" 
She says "she was supposa stay on the floor cuz we don't sleep in TWO places." 
Oh Geez!
So I gave her a hug and calmly explained (between chuckles) that I had moved Karli to her comfy bed before I went to bed and that it was in fact NOT the end of the world and assured her that Karli would in fact wake up even though she had slept in 2 places. 

Days of the Week

Kelsi has become very interested in what day it is. So I have begun singing "Sunday Monday and Tuesday, Wednesday Thursday and Friday, Saturday is the last day, and I can say them all"


So I sing "Sunday Monday and Tuesday, Wednesday Thursday and Friday, Saturday is the last day, and I can say them all" and ask "can you say them all Kelsi?"
she replies "no, I can't"
I sing again "Sunday Monday and Tuesday, Wednesday Thursday and Friday, Saturday is the last day, and I can say them all" and ask "can YOU say them all Karli?"
to which she replies "yeah, Them all" with a Gigantic grin.

Broken Body

I was surfing the internet and watching TV, it's late, but Kelsi being slightly ill took a nap at 5PM... so she's  up. Anyhow, We are looking at cool baby stuff and a new episode of NCIS starts, we are watching, they discover a dead body it goes to commercial so we return to looking at more baby feeding stuff.
Kelsi breaks the silence and inquires "mom why is that body broken"
I reply "uhhh well honey because it's dead"
She says "why did it die"
I say "because it was it's time, a person decided he wanted to break that body"
She says "why"
I reply "I don't know, but how bout you choose a different channel"
the lesson, Kelsi really does pay attention to what she sees on TV and after hours it's either food network or her choice  :O.

Pee on You

More teasing from Karli. 
Karli likes to pee on stuff, I read this is normal.....FOR BOYS. She is not a boy. She will take a diaper and pee on it, get in the tub and pee there instead of the toilet, Power trip? test of rules? completely normal "phase"? IDK. Either way, it's a work in progress....Pretty much problem solved by now! 
Anyhow, Miss ornery EVERY time I say "I gotta go pee" (yes, I announce) she races me to the bathroom Grins this HUGE grin and pulls her pants partially down and back up slowly "I'm gonna pee on you mom" LMAO!! All I can do is laugh, she's totally teasing me. 

Ornery Delux Karli

Geez sometimes I don't know if she is teasing me or if she really doesn't know. I am home schooling, in a very light and playful sort of way---no real structure just yet... So I bought these "Brain Quest" cards for ideas, Kelsi flies through the 5-6 yr old ones with flying colors. She can match rhymes and colors, counting, adding, the whole 9 yards, aside from telling time on a standard clock and money (now I know what to introduce)
Back to Karli, I go through the 2-3 yr old deck and she gets a huge grin and says the MOST off the wall responses.

this bird lost a leaf.

this is a giraffe! (I ask her what does a Giraffe look like, she says "a horse")

So yeah, I know she is smart, she is witty, but she also does not let that on!!

Negotiations

Kelsi says "daddy will you sleep in my room?"
Daddy says "maybe we'll see"
so she bribes "you can use my pillow, the one what haves princesses on it"


Just what every daddy wants LOL
