A few years ago, I actually found myself saying the following phrase in public:
“I know I said we could go to the toy store, but that was when you were wearing pants.”
It has since occurred to me that there are a whole host of phrases that we only have occasion say to children, the very elderly, and the mentally ill. “That was when you were wearing pants” is at the top of the list, but it is by no means the only list item. SO glad to see I’m not the only one keeping such a list!

Ha! That is so cute! You just wait… there are SO many things you’ll say in the next few years. And if you happen to add another munchkin to the mix, that list will just grow!

Man, that dog is so good.
I’m not there yet. I let Liam feed the dogs, but I’m waiting for him to be able to walk before I move further in the bonding.

Aww, that’s sweet. But not as sweet as the video I posted yesterday of the dogs going ape wild over their guy coming home after 14 months in Iraq.

Okay, Z may not have Izzy’s dancing acumen but he definately has more hair. With our big fat Lou Cat, she’ll fling herself on him, rub her face in him, pat him kindly for awhile and then go for the eyes while he sits there docily and looks at me with big eyes that plead help.
Timmins is sure a good sport.

PAH!
(And I love Z’s happy little sigh at the end as he hugs Timmins. “Aaaaaaaah.”)

That is just too cute!! Just one of the many crazy things that will come out of your mouth when your kids’ behaviour is involved.

Sometimes I crack up at the things that fly out of my mouth to my boys!
Here’s something I just got in an email I thought you’d like:

Soooo cute! It’s funny the things we say now that we NEVER would have imagined saying. I think I had a post a while back entitled, “Words I Never Thought I’d Utter”… something to do with telling a clueless mom that most of the babies and toddlers at the playground were a wee bit uncomfortable around her ROTTWEILER. And every day I hear these weird parenting things coming out of my mouth that I can’t believe… but yours takes the cake!

Very cute!
My favourite ‘phrase I never thought I would have to say as a parent’ so far has been: “Get the cat out of the washing machine and give me back that bottle of champagne!” I’m sure there will be many, many more over the years. It’s really the main reason I became a parent — good blog material.

Good Dog.

Bad Fork >:-(

What a good dog! Guess he’s making up for all those years of escape artistry!
Ah the stuff we say to kids - “Don’t stab the dog with the fork” is destined to be a classic - it’s right up there with “don’t make me beat you in public”, “wait until your father gets home”, and the ever-popular to “are we there yet?” - “5 more minutes!!!”

That’s awesome. I am awed by the bond that babies make with animals so early on. Our little man is enamored with our boxer-mix pup. I gotta say, though, that I hope the day never comes that I need to inform him that stabbing said dog is frowned upon.
