Rescue Heroes

The first thing to remember when reading Isaac's quotes is that all "L" sounds are pronounced "W"...so, my daughter Lydia is "Wydia"...
As a result, we have many funny sentences all day long such as..."Hey Mom! Wook at Wydia! She's Waughing!"

That's just it's own brand of cuteness....

But, today's great quote was the following.

Isaac to his Rescue Heroes...."OK, Gentomen (Gentlemen), wet's (let's) get to work!"

Quotes from My Kids - No. 1

My Son Isaac is a hoot. He was a very, VERY late talker. He actually was in Early Childhood Speech Therapy because at the age of 2 he spoke about 10 words....maybe. He comes from a long line of late talkers - my husband, his brother, my brother, my father - you get the picture. So, I wasn't too concerned, but, since my background is Special Ed. I didn't want to be one of "those" parents that could see all the signs but refused to get any help - just in case....so, he was in speech therapy - which, in my opinion, did nothing much for him. His teacher was lovely and came to our house every week with a bucket full of new toys - so, he ignored her completely and played with the bucket of new toys for the hour she was at our house....somewhere around his third birthday Isaac decided that it was time to talk and we haven't had silence since!
Isaac is now almost four years old and although he has some funny little speech-y things in his speech he is a MOTORMOUTH! He will NOT STOP talking....I haven't found the "off" switch yet...so, during the last year of him really talking, he has had some pretty funny "quotes". I would hate to lose these gems. I have a quote board in my kitchen where I write down the more memorable - I thought you'd enjoy seeing a few of the best as they pop up. So, here we are - out of the mouth of my little babe....

Yesterday, while driving in the car past a construction sight....(a "mastrution" sight)....."Hey Mom!....When I grow up I'm going to be a backhoe. You can be a dump truck. (He can actually pronounce Dump Truck now...for quite a while it was pronounced "dum....and then an "f" instead of the "tr" in truck.....yep, sound it out in your head.....OK, you've got it - now, picture him running in the nursery at church and shouting for a "dum ....uck") Yes, Lydia can be a skid steer. (Oh, wow, what is Daddy going to be?).....Daddy can be a crane! Cranes are HUGE and TALL and GIGANTIC.....no, I want to be a crane! Daddy can be the backhoe!"
You have to love boys!

What am I doing in cyberspace!?

This really cracks me up! I have a blog! What am I doing...seriously....I don't even know how to download my own pictures from a digital camera to a computer - in any way!

But.....some days I just want to vent.....or talk.....
maybe I need a place to chronicle my life as a stay-at-home mom -
a place to make my every day events, diapering, feeding, nose-wiping, story reading, errand-running - the stuff that we do every day without fanfare and without a raise (or a paycheck for that matter)....a place to make these events - important, worth my time, valid in my life and my children's lives...no, that's not true - they ARE valid, important, worthy of my time and attention - I just need a place to list them so they aren't lost in the "everyday" - but, they are chronicled so that I can look back and REMEMBER the beauty and hilarity in my "everyday"...
so - I'll just start to talk - who knows how much will actually get added to this blog spot, but, I'll have a place of my own....
