Best Question Ever

Max: "Mommy, are we human?" (Referring to he and Brooklyn, as they play around on the bed before bath)

Me: "Yes Max, you are little humans"

Brooklyn babble

I knew that eventually, as Brooklyn grew and so did her vocabulary, that she would slowly start making appearances on the blog. At almost 2, she is predominantly French speaking and loves to yell out the words she knows. A car ride with Brooklyn sounds like this:

Brooklyn (looking out the window): "CAMION!! CAMION!! car... car... CAMION! OISEAUX!! Car...car... De l'eau OISEAUX!!

On Marriage

Max: "Mommy, did we get married?"

Me: "Did who get married?"

Max: "You and me and Daddy"

Me: "Daddy and I got married Max, 5 years ago, in Puerto Rico"

Max: "No, but when we moved houses, we got married then?"

Me: "No sweetheart"

Max: "How do you get married?"

Me: "Two people stand in front of one person, who says a lot of nice things, and all of your friends and family are there"

Max: "Yes, ok, we definitely got married when we moved houses"

Get. With. The. Program

Max: "Mommy, the hockey net is broken"

Me: "Ok, let me see if I can fix it"

Max: "Fix it please!"

Me: "I'm trying Max"

Max (laughing): "Try harder!"

On Sanity

Pat has been working every second weekend, both Saturday and Sunday, since the Fall. It's starting to wear on me, this "single-parenthood" thing every other weekend. I'm not exactly a stay-at-home during the week (meaning I don't have the toughest job in the world, but I do have a pretty demanding one)

By 9:00 this morning, having been up since 6:15, with Pat out of the house at 6:45, the kids were kind of well...:

Me: "Oh my god, I am going to lose my mind"

Max (very dramatically): "No! Mommy! Don't lose your mind!"

Max (5 seconds later): "What's losing your mind?"
