Well, I wanted to make sure that on day one, all of the kids had at least one quote to their name. This one is from Devin, and happened when he was maybe 4 or 5 years old. He and Heather were walking through a store and were coming into the lingerie section. Now, all men know that this generally makes us a little uncomfortable.
Even at his tender age, Devin recognized the perils of this region of the store. As they entered the bra section, Devin quickly covered his eyes and said, "Mom, I love you, but I don't want to know what you're made of".
Obviously as he gets a little older his attitudes regarding these matters will change, but for now, and hopefully until he is at least 25, this is the attitude I prefer.

Brenan: Not me . . .
A couple of weeks ago, while I was home at night watching the kids, it was time to get them off to bed. We were downstairs in the office, and the kids were playing in this little play tent that Brenan had gotten as a gift.
Now Brenan, who is a man of many words (most of which you cannot understand right now) is very persitent when he sets his mind to something. He was crawling in the tent and I asked "Okay, is everyone ready to go upstairs and go to bed?"
Brenan, without missing a beat, stuck his head back out of the tent door and said, clear as day, "No, not me!" I have to admit, it was the cutest thing I'd ever heard come out of his mouth. So . . . I gave them 10 more minutes of play time.

Lauryn: Just a nap . . .
Okay, so I am starting yet another blog. This one has a lot of source material though. I decided to share a blog about the things that my children say. Devin, Lauryn and Brenan are full of words beyond their little years, and I decided that everyone should be able to benefit from their use of the English language.
So, this morning, we had to wake Lauryn up to get her ready to go to school. She was sleeping in the recliner in our bedroom and had been there all night, so 8+ hours. When Heather woke her up, she said, "mom, that was just a nap to me."
Heather and I realized the truth of that statement, as I am sure many of us often awake in the morning and think to ourselves that our night of sleep, was really just a nap. Oftentimes, we just need that additional hour or two and we'd be fine.
