Kids Say The Darndest Things

All of the sudden Tommy has been dealing with his allergies this August. This along with potty training have lead to a few quotes that I wanted to share. Annette's mom, "Nana", has been watching Tommy on Fridays while Annette is at work for the last 2 years or so. Well his voice has been kind of horse as a result of his allergies, etc. So she told him that he had a frog in his throat.

Yesterday I driving down the road and Tommy says "Daddy I have a frog in my throat". I said "yea, where did you get it?". He explained to me "I got it at Nana's house", "from what" I asked, "eating grapes" he explained as if I should have known that grapes lead to froggy voices.

Then the other night Tommy, who has been soooooo good at potty training through the night, had an accident in his bed. So Annette and I stripped the bed, but instead of replacing the sheets, we wiped Tommy down and threw him in bed with us for the final hour before getting up. As we laid down, I pulled him close to me and asked "did you have an Accident?", his reply to me was "NO, I not have an Assident, I just want to get cozy!". Annette and I laughed as he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Once again I am reminded to sit back and enjoy these moments, because every day Tommy and Aaron both grow and Mature. Tommy's sweet little lisp disappears a little more and his grammar and pronunciation improve daily. Soon stories like these will be about Aaron, and Tommy will be hitting home runs in little league...........I am thing a professional batting average of over .300 and 30+ home runs......mark it down now you heard it from me first.
