They are expert storytellers...
"I didn't have a vitamin today mommy"-thinks they're like candy, "I already brushed my teeth"-head nodding in complete agreement with himself, "I don't have to go pee-pee"-potty dancing right in front of you, "My tummy hurts, I think I need some medicine"- puppy eyes and sad lip sticking out, "She didn't share with me because I took the watercolors away from her"-this one is a recent favorite because it's a total Freudian slip, he's the one not doing the sharing I'm sure!

They are expert bedtime procrastinators...
I need the right pajamas on, 3 books read to me, a little playtime, the right nighttime music on, the right nightlight turned on, the right friends lying next to me, the blankets tucked in, a hug and a kiss from mommy, a hug and a kiss from daddy, songs song to me in the same order: twinkle-twinkle, itsy-bitsy, ABC's, Row Your Boat, and You're My Sunshine, books in my bed to read to myself in the warm glow of two nightlights (yes, I said two!), and a sip of water, and another sip of water, and yet another sip of water...
They know what they want and they want it NOW or they don't know what they want but they still want it NOW...
"Taylor we're eating chicken for dinner tonight", -"I don't want chicken for dinner tonight, I told you that I don't want that" (screaming). Five minutes later, I asked again what he would like for dinner-"Chicken" great idea, I'm so glad I thought of it 5 minutes ago, I swear I live with Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde!!! They don't want what you want but they don't want what they want either!
I can do anything that you can do...
Like sit up on a high stool by myself, jump off the arm of the couch to the cushions below, open every door in the house, turn on every light in the house (with the help of a stool of course), watch T.V, play music really loud, wash dishes, clear my own dishes from the table, trim bushes outside with child scissors, Talk back (the worst one on the list), buy toys (sorry sweetie $1.75 isn't going to cut it), eat breathmints, wear lipstick (Andrew ignore that one-lol), vacuum the car-plus vacuum up sticks, twigs, huge acorns, and a birthday ribbon-HELP, why doesn't this thing work anymore??
And we always wondered why our parents were always tired!
