Wednesday's Wisdom (from a 5 yr old)

"It doesn't matter who you love.. 


As long as you're not hating" 


Nadia 5yrs old




I love the wisdom that comes with the innocent soul of a child.  It really makes my heart swell when it is my own child.  

Sunday's Silly Little Kid Says

I love when young kids supplement one word in a sentence for another that they use frequently. 

Tiffany is her Aunt.. she's never had bacon at her house before.

While on the way to go out to eat breakfast Nadia turns to her sisters and this is the conversation;
Nadia says in a tone as if bragging: "Tiffany's has bacon..."
Us: "huh who has bacon?" ::looks around for someone with bacon::
Nadia with some annoyance replies again:  "Tiffany's has bacon.  Duh! Where we go to eat breakfast."
Me: ::puzzle over what she could mean::  "Oh you mean Denny's."
Nadia:  I said that... ::eyes roll::  "They have lots of bacon."

I should have realized by this conversation what she had planned to have for breakfast.  She ate her bacon and very little else.

Sunday's Silly Little Kid Says

Frog Hands!

When Nadia has to wear her gloves she always exclaims 

"Look Mom, I got frog hands!"

I never thought of the way little kid's gloves make their fingers look webbed.  I love experiencing a toddler's observations on the world.  It's moments like this that fill up my mother's tank.

Sunday's Silly Little Kid Says

One of the best parts of being a parent is being able to hear first hand some of the silly things that kid's say in complete seriousness.

I was standing in the kitchen making a big family breakfast one Sunday morning. While asking how everyone wanted their eggs; 3 yr old Nadia chimes in with,

"No toast, please. I'm Toast intolerant."

I still giggle about this and it's been over a year since it happened. With four kids I have many more silly things.  Keep tuned for more Sunday's Silly Little Kid Says.
