Out Of The Mouths Of Babes…
While I was pregnant and throughout early childhood for both my boys, I kept a pretty detailed journal. Now that they are getting so much older, I often look back at the memories–I need a reminder that they were cute and sweet once! LOL– they are still cute and sweet, especially when they want something! Anyway, here are some cute quotes from my guys:
“More.” E, 16 months, in sign language after his dad and I stopped hugging each other.
“Just calm down mommy.” E, age 2.5 yrs.
“I’m not gonna love you for a whole week!” E, age 3 yrs.
“I look like a dude!” E, age 4 yrs.
“Don’t-do-that!” (almost as one full word) O, age 16 months.
“Mommy, I’m not a baby anymore!” O, age 2 yrs. We changed his sign name that day!
I definitely encourage all parents to keep a journal! And tell your children stories about them… they love to hear about what they said and did when they were “little.”
