I Can Spell "Horse"

My six year old was spelling words in the car, when my almost-three year old chimed in with, "I can spell 'horse.' E-D-eleven-E."

He's Crawling

Our six month old is learning how to crawl. He's been able to roll over for well over a month now, but he can now navigate the living room floor. We're in trouble. Time to move everything.

Foog

I was driving our six year old to school last week when it was particularly foggy. He said, "Hey, daddy, I know how to spell 'fog.' F-O-O-G" I told him that he actaually spelled, "foog." He found his mistake funny, and we spent the entire time in the car making fun of the word "foog."

Jammy Up!

In our house, we've taken to an expression near bedtime. Jammy up! This is when the kids get their jammies on. Once done, the term swithces to past tense - jammied up.

Ant Invasion!

We had an ant invasion this weekend. Of course, nobody likes to deal with ants, but we accomplished some other maintenance things in moving all the furniture away from the walls. So, it was good for us to get the ants.

Football Hurts

I was talking to our six year old about sports yesterday. I asked him what they try to do in football when a player has the ball. He responded with, "They try to hurt him." I said, no, they try to tackle him to the ground. He then added, "They try to make him hurt so bad they need an ambulance. [pause] They try to send him to the hospital."
