Watching Simon unwrap his (super belated birthday gift) guitar:
Julia: oh wow! a piano!!!
As she dug for nostril gold before preschool one morning ...
Grace: okay ... let's try to keep the nose picking to a minimum
Julia: okay ... but I'm just getting it out of my system
During "nap time" from her locked (from the outside) quarters ...
Julia: (yells) MOM!!!
Grace:
Julia: (yells louder) MOM!!!!!!!!!
Grace:
Julia: (and louder) MOMMMMYYYY!!!!!
Grace:
Julia: (softly) sweetheart? are you out there?
In the middle of eating lunch:
Julia: do you think we could have some weed?
Grace: wait, what?
Julia: you know ... some weed?
Grace: no ... I don't think so ... I have no idea what you're talking about
Julia: you know some WEED ... like yesterday?
Grace: oh, Wheat Thins??
Julia: yeah! some weed
Watching me struggle to put on my freshly laundered (and dried to a fraction of their former size, apparently) jeans ...
Julia: hmmm
Grace: what?
Julia: well, maybe those are baby Theo's??
And on an entirely different occasion ... watching me get dressed in my usual tunic and leggings and boots ...
Grace: does this look okay?
Julia: well, don't you need pants?!
Last night as she waltzed into the bathroom and Theo sprint-crawl-followed ...
Grace: Theo, let's give Julia her privacy
Julia: oh, no that's fine, that's fine - sometimes I like an audience
And BONUS ....
A little guest appearance from our resident parrot ...
Until he started in on the mock-twirling and Julia said, "okay, that's enough of that."
Kids say the darndest things:)
ReplyDeleteShe's freaking hilarious Grace.
ReplyDeleteI didn't think you guys lived in Colorado?!
ReplyDeleteI actually LOL'd for quite some time about the weed comment...
ReplyDeleteShe is too much! The perfect laugh for the rest of my evening.
ReplyDeleteThe jeans one reminds me of something my 3.5 year old daughter said shortly after I gave birth to her second baby brother. She found some of my underwear (the granny style brief kind, good for c-section scars) and said sweetly, "Oh! Mom! You got me a new sheet!"
ReplyDeleteOK the weed convo made me laugh SO HARD!!! Oh my gosh I can't take it. I would never be able to keep a straight face around her. If you don't just laugh all the time you should ditch the whole stay at home mom thing and put that poker face to good use...like professionally!
ReplyDeleteAlways the greatest. My mood has been less than inviting today and I needed a laugh. Thanks, J. (The "sweetheart?" was my favorite.)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, the Wheat Thins one made me laugh so hard...your kids are hilarious!
ReplyDeleteOh this is so funny! Julia is hysterically funny. And do you use a dslr or your phone to capture these shots? The photography on your blog has improved so much, and is one of the things that keeps me coming back for every post. :-) (just one)
ReplyDeletethis is hilarious!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for Finn to start talking...or maybe I can haha
ReplyDeleteGreat list! The 'sweetheart' one is the best!!
ReplyDeleteI mean... do you laugh at these things, too??? Or is it frustrating for you? Or a combo of both? And, how many days worth does it take for these gems to make a blog appearance?
ReplyDeleteI cannot wait until I have kids one day JUST for the things they say. Ok, not JUST for that, but I think you get me.
(Also, the skipping pic...ADORABLE! Epitome of kid happiness!)
PLEASE send her to me when the baby is born so I can have her entertain my Simon.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh. It get's better every time.
ReplyDeleteHahaha sometimes I like an audience. Hilarious!
ReplyDeleteWe like weed here as well. They are quite yummy with cheese. LOL! You made me laugh once again. Thank my friend and please than Julia for keeping it real. I love it!!
ReplyDeleteCan't stop laughing!
ReplyDeleteSo it looks like Simon should be looking for fellowships in either Colorado or Washington State ...
ReplyDeleteI love these posts so much. She is hysterical
ReplyDeleteMy life runneth over on Julia Styles days!!

ReplyDeletePresh. And my god, I think I have some of Baby Theo's jeans at my house too.....I will use that to explain why I wear jeans like six times before turning them inevitably into sausage casings once again. WHY.
