We sat down for Family Home Evening where we talked about the importance of keeping records. We even pulled out our wedding journal...and I found a little gem I had forgotten about. I found a journal entitled "Funny things the kids say." Now unfortunately there were only about 4 pages full (and how I regret not writing more, since my kids were absolutely HILARIOUS when they were little), but we read them and the kids had a good hard laugh. So I thought I'd share a few:
May 2004--Jordan was helping mommy sweep the floor. She went to get the broom and dustpan and exclaimed "Mom, I have the broom and mustache!!"
June 2004--Mommy said something to Kya and Jordan said, "Mom, Kya doesn't understand. Kya speaks Spanish"
April 2007--Kya was driving in the car with Mom. Mom was frustrated with slow drivers and finally speeds past a car. Kya says "Those other cars won't stop us!"
May 2007--Kya: "I have 2 sisters, Jordan and Tyson." Moms says "Tyson's not your sister, he's a boy", Kya replies " I know Mom, he's my BOY sister."
August 2004--Daddy asked Jordan if she wanted him to blow on her belly, Jordan replied "I'm not a whistle!!"
May 2007--Grandpa was trying to get Kya to go to the store with him, but she wanted to stay home. This was her "excuse": "I can't go, my hair is too short"
Oct. 2007--We were headed over to the Leavitt's house and Kya was saying she wanted a drink. I said "Tina and I are going out, so you'll have to ask Uncle Ted for a drink." After a long pause, Kya said, "I'm brave enough to talk to Ted."
Jan. 2008--Mom asked Kya what she did at her friend's birthday party. Kya replied, "I didn't pick my nose once"
If this isn't motivation enough to start writing things down, I don't know what is!!!
