The Olympics through the eyes of Children

8.14.08   Charlotte has been enjoying the Olympics.  So far her favorite event is swimming which she called the "crying when I’m swimming show."  As soon as they started playing the national anthem she told me that the men would start crying.  Today when she threw a tantrum during Zach’s lunch break he went in to [...]

The Musings of Mormon Toddlers

My sister-in-law (Heidi) sent me an article about funny things kids say as they grow up in "the church" and I figured I had a few to add to that list, so here are some relevant musings from our log:

The things books inspire

The books didn’t inspire him to smear my lotion into his hair (refer to picture below), but this is my most recently taken picture of Isaac, so I used it anyway.

We walked down to the park this evening and I brought along my new [...]

This doesn’t look like a post–IT IS A POST!

9.24.07 I had pulled the vacuum and other similar items out of the kitchen so that I could mop the floor. When Isaac saw them in the living room he said “This is a vacuum store.” I wasn’t intentionally correcting him when I replied “yeah, it looks like a vacuum store.” He quickly responded wi [...]

Yes, my lad, sometimes they do.

Wisdom of a Toddler

5.12.07 – 6.6.07 I’ve been making little notes here about things Isaac has said, but I haven’t written about them so I don’t have real dates for each one, but I know they happened between the dates above.
