Quotable

"I'm going to do school with Andrew on my lap because math is much more fun when you're holding a baby! But it might be a little wrong since he's pulling on it"

Quotable: foster care edition

Well we can't be accused of sheltering our children...

Mary: mom why can't J's mommy take him back?
Me: because she can't take care of him right now
Noah: but why?
Me: well she puts things in her body that aren't super healthy for her and it makes it really hard for her to take care of J.
Noah: like what?
Me: that is one of those things we will have to talk about when you get a little older. For now you'll just have to trust mommy.
Mary to Noah: Oh I know Noah! She probably eats too much ice cream.

Quotable: baby edition

Me: Noah I think he really likes sitting with you.

Noah: he just likes my Olaf shirt

Noah (to thomas): see how Mary knows how to calm him (Andrew) down? Girls are good at that.

Mary: yeah that's why girls grow babies, they know how to grow babies and how to calm them down too!

Quotable: breakfast edition

The kids have been begging for cinnamon rolls lately so I went down to the kitchen to make some...

Thomas: cinnamon rolls CINNAMON ROLLS! T bone steak wants cinnamon rolls!

Me: ummm ok. Not sure how to respond to that.

Noah walks in not quite ready to be awake: mom I need some cuddles.

Me: well bud I can't make cinnamon rolls and cuddle with you at the same time

Noah: ok, just make cinnamon rolls then.

I see where I stand
