The Things Kids Say...

So for Daughter's birthday, she requested a strawberry bundt cake. She didn't know what a bundt cake was but picked the pan because she loved the shape. Anyway, today we've been playing outside and she decided to play restaurant. I was the customer and when I was placing my order she suggested that she had some wonderful desserts. I asked what she had and she said cake. I asked what kind and daughter said "Strawberry cake. With bumps." A little baffled, I said "Sure, I'll have that." As I tried to figure out what she meant by 'bumps' it came to me. I started laughing. Full blown rolling on the floor, laughing. Almost crying, laughing. I pulled myself together and asked daughter (through continued, but stifled laughter, mind you) if she meant 'strawberry bundt cake.'
"Yeah, that's it. Strawberry bump cake. The one with a bump."

And the hysterical laughter returned.

Oh man...if you have ever been hesitant to have children, this is seriously one of the reasons that could stand alone to convince you. The things your kids will say are incredible. And so stinkin' funny.

Sweet smelling

Daughter was helping me when I was bathing baby the other day. We took him out and dried him off, tickling his chubby little toes and nuzzling his nose. It was such a nice little moment. As I started to put lotion on him, he got cranky and started fussing and trying to squirm away.  

Daughter said "You have to have lotion, it makes you smell so good! Like a sweet little baby!"  

Then she looks at me and says "I love how he smells after you put lotion on him and when he doesn't have lotion, he smells like strawberries." 

There you have it folks, my baby smells like a strawberry. :)

Awesome dude

Me: (finishing bedtime prayers with daughter) "Alright, pretty girl, bed time. Lay down, what song should I sing tonight?"
Daughter: "Twinkle twinkle."
Me: "No way! You hate that song! (winking because we sing this song twice every night for the past two years) "Twinkle twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are. Up above the world so high, like a diamond in the sky. Twinkle twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are.
Good night, lovey."
Daughter: "That was awesome dude."
Me: You're awesome, dude."

Awesome ;-)
