Cadence kept saying we were going to the beach on Saturday when we were actually going to the zoo.
She also kept singing in the car, "I'm going on holiday, I'm going on holiday!" (Thank you Peppa Pig.)
That reminds me- as I was packing for this current trip, B was saying "ok, we have everything in the suitcase for holiday. I'd like to take this shirt in holiday, etc..." I knew it must've come from peppa.
Colin corrects me constantly when I tell him to get into the car, when I really mean our truck. Today I was baking his ungrateful little self cookies and said something about needing to open the stove and he goes "not the stove Mama, it's the oven!" I mean, he's right but man, give your overtired Mom a break when she's doing something nice for you!

Driving in the car:
C:mom, are you thinking what I'm thinking? Me: probably not. C: yes you are Me: what are you thinking about? C: Cece (babydoll from Doc McStuffins) Me: um yeah, nope. We aren't thinking the same things. C: Yes. We. Are. Think about Cece. Me: um....OK....
We're still bribing Col to poop on the potty and his current payoff is 2 cherry cordial Hershey Kisses. Yesterday after pooping on the potty and requesting his reward, he tells me "Hershey Kisses are brown. Just like poop" and happily popped one in his mouth and wandered off. Appetizing.

Cadence was still talking about the over the fence babydoll at bedtime last night.
C: Mom, I know how we can get the babydoll. We get monkeys to climb over the fence and get it. Me: Where are we going to get monkeys? C: We just turn into monkeys and climb the fence and get it. Me: I don't think we can turn into monkeys. You do understand that that isn't YOUR babydoll, right? C: I know. It's O's babydoll, but it's going to get eaten by a crocodile!!
I was highly expecting a middle of the night wake up regarding crocodile dreams, but luckily that didn't happen.

@sing2phins, def. a phase. All of the kids in Cadence's class are doing it and Cadence brings it home with her. I just keep telling her it isn't nice to talk like that and that we can be friends with everyone.
klongoria11 , I never heard the "best friend" thing until we got Alexander and the Horrible, No Good, very Bad Day a couple of weeks ago. There's a page in it that says "so and so told me I wasn't his best friend anymore" and so I wonder if that's where she got it.
It is horrible listening to these kids talk sometimes. "You can come to my house and play, but not soandso"(who is standing right there). "A was friends with B today, so I had to play with C." I've asked her why everyone can't play together and she looked at me like I had grown a second head.
Daddy wasn't good enough to do anything in our house until I flat out told her nope, ask Dad. I think when I went out of town that helped her to realize he was capable of more than she allows him, so she is more free with her task giving now.

Cadence always asks me IF I'm her friend. Usually when she can tell I'm frustrated or if she did something she wasn't supposed to. At those times I tell her I'm trying to be.
I can't remember if I shared this yet. Every time H did anything naughty I ask her why she did it. She was always saying "it was an accident". So I would correct her and say "no, you pushed S over on purpose" (or whatever she did). Now when I ask her why she did it she says "I did it on purpose!"
Atticus decided he needed to be dressed in a certain manner to go on a bear hunt. He goes into a laundry basket of clean clothes I had by the dryer and about a minute later I hear, "I need socks. Matching socks! Help, please? Mom! This is important! This is serious!!!!"
N is a true Minnesotan. She sounds like she could be in the movie Fargo some days.
When we ask her to do something she says "I suure can" And the other day I explained something to her and she said, "ooooh, Gotcha, Gotcha" with a nice thick Minnesotan accent.
There is a little back story to this: H insists on being independent when it comes to pottying. She has been really bad about not wiping which results in her lady bits getting red. Tonight after bath I was lotioning her up and commented that her lady bits weren't red and told her good job for wiping. She responded with "woohoo! Go Hannah! Go Hannah! (Repeated times 100)"
Relayed to me by one of his teachers. The exchange took place as she was about to eat a Subway sandwich.
Atticus: Miss Kiki, is that cow? Miss Kiki: Yes, the sandwich has cow. Atticus: You eat cows? Miss Kiki: Yes. Atticus: Okay. I know some people eat cows. Sometimes people also eat pigs. Miss Kiki: Yes, I also eat pigs. Atticus: Okay. Well, don't eat fish. They smell like poop.

Cadence is currently very into a book entitled, "Being Selfish". It talks about sharing. There is a page that asks the questions "How do you feel when someone won't share?", which she makes a sad face to. Then it asks, "What do you think when someone won't share with you?". She proceeds to tap the side of her head and then her lips as though she is "thinking" then she does her aha moment of putting her index finger in the air and then gives a thumbs up. She pantomimes thinking every. single. time. rather than telling me what she thinks. It's hilarious.

Last night at bedtime Cadence kept trying to converse with me. I told her, "it's bedtime. We need to close our eyes and close our mouths, no more talking." So she reached over and patted me on the head and mouthed "Mom" and some other words I couldn't make out. Seriously, kid?
DH asked me this morning which car I wanted to drive today and V interrupted: "I'll take the blue car, YOU take the truck. Have a good day daddy." I'm not really needed anymore.
