Kids are so FuNnY!

It's so funny to hear your kids tell you their versions (or perspective) of how things transpire.

Coleton was talking to Heather the other day, telling her about his football game and their recent (and only) loss. He made a touchdown, but accidentally prevented a player on offence from pulling one of his flags while making the run, so his touchdown was taken away. The way he understood the call was, "They refunded his touchdown." Elmo & I were laughing so hard!

Paige was trying to describe a woman who was driving recklessly in our neighborhood yesterday after school. Her description, "She's that tall lady, with the 3 kids, who is BLIND."
"Blind?" I asked. "Yes, you know, she's blind." she replied.
"How could she be driving if she is blind?" I asked her. Getting completely frustrated that I wasn't understanding her description, she said, "Mom, she has BLIND hair...you know...YELLOW!" She didn't understand why I burst out laughing.

Jadyn has blossomed into a non-stop chatterbox, in what seems like over night. She can tell you what she wants, what someone did to upset her, describe her day at preschool, and pretty much communicate (nearly) as well as the other kids. She is a walking sponge, and it amazes me that she not only UNDERSTANDS what we're saying, but that she can use every word/action/saying in the appropriate circumstance. For example:

Coming home from preschool yesterday Jadyn said, "Ohh! Mommy look!!" as she pointed to a bus. I said, "Wow! A bus!" to which she replied, "Yes mommy, that's right! A bus! Good job!" So glad she's there to praise my good work!

As I was walking out the door for boot camp last night, Jadyn said, "Mommy's going to boot camp?" I said, "Yes, but I'll be home soon." She looked at me, and you could almost see the wheels turning and the lightbulb turn on as she held up her little pinky finger and said, "Pinky Swear?"

Where would I be without these little munchkins of mine?
