Hi Mom!

Some recent kiddo "isms" for the record…

"Hi Mom!"
Marlee sooo doesn't have a poker face.  If she does something she knows she isn't allowed to do, but I don't notice…she will come to me and say "Hi Mom!" out of the blue in a really sweet voice.  It's like she is testing me to see if I respond without catching her for what she just did.  Dead giveaway.

The need to cry.
Sometimes Parks will be in a mood.  When he is whining and cries for no real reason, I will ask him if he needs to cry.  He will say yes so I say "OK, well we don't want to listen to it, so please go in the other room and do your crying in there."  He will walk (silently) to the other room and cry…and then stop and come back to us.  Awesome.
*I feel like I might have already blogged about this but can't remember and am too lazy to look back and find out.

Hippopomanus
Yes, that is spelled correctly per Marlee's annunciation.  Also, large pigs qualify as hippopomanuses.

More to come...
