This is a great conversation I had with my two older children today.

Arwyn: Mommy, I love you!
Me: I love you too!
Breckin: Mommy, I love you one hundred fifty four!

That kid is awesome. I love the way his mind works.

Arwyn: Mommy, you have a frog in your throat.
Me: Yes, I do. Do you want to see it?
Arwyn: Yeah.
Me: (opening my mouth and getting close to her) Ribbit! Ribbit! Do you see it?!
Arwyn: No, I didn’t see it Mommy.
Me: Are you sure, it’s in there.
Arwyn: I didn’t see it Mommy. Maybe it is down in your boobs.

WHAT!? How did that conversation lead to that statement, will someone please tell me? HA!

Arwyn: Mommy, did you go upstairs? (at the gym)
Breckin: What did you do up there Mommy?
Me: I was on the elliptical for 30 minutes and then I lifted weights so my arms will be big and strong.
Arwyn: Mr Incredible has big strong arms!
Me: Do you think Mommy is as strong as Mr Incredible?
Arwyn and Breckin: YEAH!
Breckin: Mr Incredible can stop trains.
Me: Do you think Mommy could stop a train?
Arwyn: YEAH!
Breckin: (in a very thoughtful “Breckin” tone, making a very serious “Breckin” face) Well, Mommy, I think you would need a blue super suit. (Mr Incredible has a blue suit at the beginning of the movie when he stops the train)
Me: Breckin, I am not sure there is a suit super enough for that.

Breckin: Yep. Mommy, I want Judah to hurry up and get out of there.
Me: Me too. Me too.

The following is not so much a conversation as a random comments.

Breckin: Mommy your belly is going to explode.

Breckin: Mommy, you have a BIG, FAT belly!

Breckin: Hey Mommy! I think “fart” and “fish” both start with the letter “F”.
Me: Yes, they do.

Seriously, what is it with kids and potty talk!

Conversation with Arwyn
I ended up having to explain nursing to the kids the other day because they kept saying they were going to give Judah bottles. A few days later, we were sitting at lunch and Arwyn randomly says this:

Awryn: Mommy, I don’t have milk in my boobies for Judah. I have orange juice in my boobies.

Arwyn: I want a peanut butter samich! Ribbit! Mommy, do frogs eat food?

(Needless to say, she thinks she is a frog. Has been for about 2 weeks now.)

Arwyn: Mommy, get my boat off of the floor and give it to me! (she was on the bed and didn’t want to get down)
Me: Arwyn, you need to ask Mommy nicely if you want help getting your boat.
Arwyn: (crosses her arms and huffs) I don’t need my boat. It can stay on the floor.

Here is what happened…

Breckin: Mommy! Arwyn hit me!
Me: Breckin, you have been picking on her, so you might have had that coming.
Arwyn: (glaring at him and completely disgusted) I didn’t hit you! I pushed you!

I would love to say that I could decipher who actually told on Arwyn here. I mean, Breckin meant to tell on her, but she really just told on herself. If only all tattling situations ended in a proud confession of the truth.

Me: Arwyn, give Daddy a hug and a kiss. (she hugs and kisses him)
Me: Arwyn, what do you say to Daddy? (I was trying to get her to say, “I love you Dad.” like she always does)
Arwyn: Give me a dollar Dad! (we laugh) Give me a dollar Dad! Give me a dollar Dad!

She is already demanding cash. I think we might be in trouble.
