A Name

So Ben was messing around again and talking about more kids, with our kids. He asked Delaney, "How many more babies should mommy have?" Her reply might be my favorite ever, "I think not all of them" LOL Then he said, "I think mommy should have at least one more boy for me and we should name him Searq" (Which is some old Irish name that is pronounced Shark) Delaney said "SHark??? That's just silly!" So Ben asked, "What do you think we should call the baby?" She sat for a second and then said, "Um, I think a name would be good" LMAO!!!

Gaga

So the kids and I sitting and watching Lady Gaga perform on Good Morning America. Delaney asked me who she was and I said, "That's Lady Gaga" So we are sitting and watching her for awhile when Delaney turns to me, after her third costume change and said, "Goo goo gaga wears silly stuff" LMBO!!!

Clean Up Time

So this morning I was running around trying to straighten up the house before my in-laws came over, and in the process I asked Delaney to take her blanket and pillow pet upstairs, When she answered me with "I'm sorry I can't, I'm just too tired right now" I got annoyed. So I told her that she now needed to take them up and clean up her room. She said no again because "There's too much of everything in there" Now, I was on a warpath...so it was 'do it or lose toys', 'do it or you don't get to play later', etc. I got so many excuses, including "Why can't you clean it?" "Its too hard, its too messy" "Why are you being mean to me?" "I've already told YOU to help me!" and my personal favorite of "I'm having a hard time being with you right now if you're gonna throw my stuff away" Needless to say, I can out stubborn any child or adult for that matter and she did in fact clean up...but only after my in-laws came and said they were sorry they couldn't play with her since mommy said not until the room got cleaned....LOL I will win damnit!

Tantrum

We had a hard core meltdown this afternoon...Delaney gets so tired and when that happens, she becomes someone else...Well, she started hitting me with her pillow pet and throwing it on my laptop while I was trying to do work and so I got mad and took it away and I guess I sort of pushed her when I did because she started crying and told me, "You pushed me on purpose" LOL Well she went and got it....so I sat on it cause there was no way she was pulling it out from under me...but she did try and failed...so she started flipping out and crying and then she looks at me and thru her teary eyes, she says, "People shouldn't take people's stuff!" LOL That one made me laugh soooo hard!

Tricky

We walked down to Dormont Park tonight and soon after we got there a 6 year old boy named Maurice asked Delaney and Donovan if they wanted to play hide and seek. They were so happy and immediately jumped at the chance. So Delaney counted to ten and he took off thru the castle maze...well, Delaney did very well keeping up with him and Donovan did exceptional chasing behind Delaney, but she could never catch him...and he just kept going...after about a half dozen times thru, she finally stopped, looked at us and said, "I think I'm tired of chasing him now. He's a tricky one!" And when we all packed up the leave, she yelled "I love you" to him....LOL Please, reserve the I love you's for family right now....

Beautiful

So last night while I was tucking Delaney into bed (and she actually stayed in there all night, amazingly), I told her that she was such a funny and smart and sweet little girl....She got all bashful on me and smiled and looked down like I was embarrassing her with my gushing...and then she smiled and said, "no"....I thought, aw, she's being so humble, until she looked at me and said, "No mom....I'm beautiful" God help us all!

"C" is for....

So Delaney looks at me and says, "Mom, let's sing the 'C' song, ya know, 'C' is for cookie, that's goodie in a tree...C'mon"
