Kibby Connection: Look, there's my doggy...I'm going to get him!

Emily has always been infatuated with Murphy.

Look, there he is!

Somehow, I can get up there to get him.

Only a little further; I'm almost there!

Awgh! He came down and got me instead!

Quotes from the Kids

Emily, while grocery shopping: "Mom, we don't need all of this food. Put all this back. Grab the fruit snacks and Yucky Charms, and let's go."
Emily, during a tantrum when she wasn't getting her way: "I'm not okay; I'm still crying because I'm sad."
Emily, when she tripped and fell: "I dropped myself Mama; I dropped myself!"
Caroline to Jeff who fell asleep on the couch while she was watching a show: "Daddy, your snoring is interrupting my show. You can close your eyese and rest, but don't snore this time."
Caroline, regarding the shirt she was putting on, "Oh Great! A Turtleneck and Turtle Sleeves!"
Caroline to Emily, who was not getting what she wanted, "Emily, don't have a tantrum; it's going to be okay."
Caroline, in response to me calling Jeff "Super Dad", "Daddy's not Super Dad; he doesn't have a cape!"
Caroline, when she saw an airplane through the window fly over the Mexican restaurant that we were dining at, "I think that plane is flying to Africa because airplanes can fly really really far. One day we were up North at Mom's Mom & Dad's house and we were on the water in a boat - it was like we were sailing - when we saw a plane on the water" (her reference to a sea plane we had seen). Note that it's never Grandma & Grandpa anymore, but your Mom & Dad or Dad's Mom & Dad etc.
Caroline, when I offered to help her open the door that has the child proof knob on it, "It's okay Mom, I've got it. Besides, I have notions of my own..."
Caroline, out of the blue just before she fell asleep, "Mom, when I get big, I'm going to pick you up and give you a piggy back ride!"
Caroline really wanted blueberries from the store. We happened to be at Sam's Club today, so we went in search of some, only they weren't where they usually have them. While we continued to look for them, I warned Carly that they may not have any. Her response: "I thought I heard that they have blueberries here." When we did eventually find them, she said," I knew they'd have them."
Caroline has had it in her mind that she's going to be Cinderella for Halloween for months now. We found a Cinderella dress up costume at Sam's Club today for a decent price. She was thrilled: "I knew Sam's Club would have my size!"
Caroline, when I asked her if she still wanted to take a dance class: "Well, it's going to be kind of tricky because I don't know all of the steps."
Caroline in reference to Jeff's speedy driving: "Dad, if you drive too fast, Mom's going to call the police!"
Caroline on her plans for the future: "Daddy, I'm going to be a princess when I grow up."
We usually give Carly "minute" warnings like "10 minutes to bedtime" etc. Tonight when she was told it was bedtime her response was, "But, my minutes aren't up yet!"
There's nothing more flattering - Caroline in reference to the dress I wore to church: "Mom, when I grow bigger, I'm going to wear that dress too."
Caroline: In the car as we were leaving the driveway to go to the store: "I'm just going to sit back and relax until we get there, okay?"
Caroline: To her dad - they were eating cereal together and Jeff excused himself to use the restroom, "Don't forget to wipe your bottom and wash your hands! And, while you're in there, brush your teeth!"
Caroline: When she's not getting exactly what she wants, "This is getting ridiculous!" (Okay, I may have said that a time or two during one of those two-year old tantrums about things that really shouldn't matter.)
Caroline: While we we were trying to convince her she could only have one toy from the dollar aisle at the store, "These aren't toys, they're books."
Caroline: Regarding the package that came for Jeff in the mail today, "Mom, look at Daddy's new train that the mailman picked out for him!"
Caroline: "Daddy, your socks are so beautiful! Are they new?"
Caroline: "Mom, God is Everywhere."
Emily: About anything and everything, and nothing in particular, "Da da da da da da da."
Caroline: On getting up in the morning, "Just two more minutes. I need to sleep for two more minutes. Come back and wake me up later." (Does she sound like her Mom? She's become quite the negotiater!)
Caroline: Regarding wearing green clothes for St. Patrick's Day, "No Mom, we need to wear Pink. Patrick is Pink." (Too much Sponge Bob? Really, she doesn't get to watch it that often!)
