throwing seven kinds of smoke...

well, yesterday was one of those days that makes me think - wow! i am so incredibly glad that i get to stay home with my kids! Naomi had me cracking up most of the day. She was seriously on fire - really i don't know where she comes up with this stuff.

here are a few highlights, which probably won't be quite as funny, but i'll do my best to share them...

• we were eating breakfast and Naomi looks up at me and says, "would you like a salad and two diets?" (i tried not to be completely offended.)

• we were playing in the basement and she had her crayons all lined up and i bumped them (big mistake!) so i started picking them up and kept knocking them down so i said, "nuts!" so she repeated over and over and over, "oh my nuts! oh my nuts! oh my nuts!" (until i could compose myself and suggested that she say "oh my goodness" instead.)

• we were reading books and i started to leave her room and she said, "hey little lady, you want to come back in here?" (little lady?!?!?)

• we have a little deal going on that she gets this baby (which she named potty baby) when she starts using the potty regularly. the baby is sitting up very high on the shelf in the bathroom. we were talking about potty baby yesterday & she told me "she's just up there relaxing." (i think she's going to be relaxing up there for a very long time.)

• i threw her poopy diaper in the garage & when i came back in she said "will the garbage man throw up?" (fair question.)

and as it goes - today of course was a new and less amusing day. but it's good to have those yesterdays.
