I Can't Stop

Delaney has this new thing she does when she starts crying...if you don't get her right away and calm her down, she gets so into the act of distress that she says she can't stop crying....it takes a long time, she's quite stubborn, for her to stop crying. Once, We drove the 35-40 minute drive to my parents house and she screamed for most of it because she didn't want me to sing. Its serious drama and I refuse to feed into it, so it last very long....so tonight, Ben yelled at her for something and she started crying and he told her to go to her room and she stood on the steps crying and said, "Oh no, its starting again, I don't think I'll be able to stop crying" lol Maybe its mean, but we are very amused by it...

Chocolate

So I pulled out a giant piece of Easter Chocolate, when my non-listening Delaney comes over and says she wants some. I told her that I'd love to give her some but since she doesn't listen, she doesn't get any. So she starts crying. And then begging. "Mommy, but I love you, I just wanna give you a hug" Nope, not buying it, go sit down, you're still in trouble. So then, her tone changes. "You have to share your food with other people. They're gonna call you a bad girl if you don't share. Its not nice not to share." Hmmm...Its also not nice to not listen....So I told her that I was gonna not only not share with her, I was also gonna eat it in front of her and enjoy it. (SO I reverted to 12 yo) And.....She's "not proud of me anymore!" LMAO

my belly

So I was making dinner when Delaney walked in the kitchen, looked at me, and while rubbing her stomach said, "I think my belly is getting a headache....

What's in a name?

So Delaney just brought me a rubber duck and kept referring to it as a her....so I asked how she knew it was a girl and she said, "Um, because I know her name"...So I asked what it is and she told me she'd tell me tomorrow....LOL

Bunny

So Saturday we went to an easter egg hunt and Donovan was obsessed with the Easter Bunny...would stand and stare at him, kept pointing and saying, "Er e is"...hilarious....He stood next to him at one point and crossed his arms after the bunny crossed his, would look in the same direction as the bunny....super cute stuff! And then, as if with total confusion, he looked at the Easter Bunny, looked at me, scrunched up his face and pointed to his feet and said, "Socks and shoes?" LOL It was a muddy field, so yes, the Easter bunny had on sneakers...LOL

In the lines....

So I came in the kitchen the other morning and the kids were sitting at the table coloring, when Delaney starts crying, "No! stop it Bugga, stop!" I look and my son is pulling at her paper, the giant color page that it is. Then she just sat and looked so upset for a minute so I ask what was wrong and she said, "I didn't color in the lines when he pulled it, now its exhausted! Its all exhausted!"

I like to do drawrings....

So Delaney is the queen bee now of coloring....She's actually getting pretty good at drawing actual things, to the point where you can actually make out a picture....its pretty impressive for someone her age, or so I think....Well, she brought her box of crayons over to me and her pad of paper, smiles and says, "Mom, pick an animal and I'll draw it for you" So being the big jerk I am, I said, "How about a snow leopard?" She thought for a second and said, "I fink its too hard for me right now, how about a bunny or a turtle cause those are the ones I know how to draw?" LOL Why don't you just tell me the animal you want me to pick? I did get a duck out of her though...
