“Can’t Mom pee without a posse?”

“I’m planning something.  I just don’t know what I’m planning.”

“Are you parenting these kids?”

“Mommy, my heart is beeping.”

To Levi, “You know Mom’s rule:  If you want a hamburger, you have to bring it to her.”

Jude and I went to his OT (for handwriting appointment) today and nearly ran Asher and Levi over when he entered the garage.  Asher was gleeful and shouted, “We watched Mr. Rogers without you!”

To me, “So you don’t have a penis?”  (I swear we have to go over this on a near daily basis.  Then I get the question about whether I pee out of my butt.  I don’t even remember how I answer that one.)

So, last night something unexpected and unprecedented happened — all the boys — Jude (8), Levi (5) and Asher (3-1/2) slept through the night.  I could hardly believe it when I woke up at 7 a.m. in my own bed.

“Did you know that one step you take, one decision you make, can change the course of your whole life?”

To his brothers: “If you want him [Daddy] to stop tickling you, give him a squeezy hug.”
