Heidi loves to suck not one, but both her hands at the same time.

Kid thoughts

Ryan (has a cold)--"Mom I need some medicine." Me--"Well you don't have a fever, so let's just make sure you eat well, and get lots of rest." "But I do have a fever." "No, you really don't." "Yes, I do, it's in my foot!"

Isaac (I was talking to him while swinging him)--me "Isaac will you stay five for me, I don't want you to grow up." Isaac--"But I want to grow up." Me--"Why, it's much more fun being a kid, you get to swing, play etc. . . .what's so fun about being a grown up?" Isaac--"You get to make dinner."

Nicole (our bookworm) Reading to herself tonight says "Mom can you get me a drink of water, sometimes when your reading to yourself in your head you mouth gets dry like when your reading out lout." :) Anyone else ever have that happen?
