I thought it would be fun to keep track of these things in order to embarrass the kids when they are older. Perhaps on their first date even. Well, Tyler at least–Paul will not let Anna date until, well, ever!
Stephanie (Paul’s mom) was trying to get Anna to massage her feet. Anna replied, “Granny, I don’t DO old people!”
Anna is working on things in order–smaller, youngest, newer than this, etc. She is struggling w the fact that I am older than Paul even though he is taller than I am. The other day she was comparing Paul and me and finally got it… sort of. “Susan,” she declared proudly, “is the lowest and the oldest!”
EDIT: A ongoing list of these is going to be kept here.
It was nice meeting you today Susan!
Kids are hilarious, oh and I can just see Paul now – threatening some poor boy that wants to date Anna.
Elli is truly the lowest and the oldest!
One of the funniest things I heard Anna say was when she was about 2 years old. She got sick in my car. It was very cold and I had her stripped down standing in the rain. She look down and said “what color is my sick”.
When Tyler was around 2 years old, he got restless at Anna’s dance recital. I took him outside to play. He had a wonderful time stepping on ants and saying “dead ant”.
