I feel like I’ve written a post about this before, but I can’t find it on this blog or any other one I’ve ever maintained… so maybe it’s just been kicking around in my head for a while. Please remember that I am a mom of 2 boys – ages almost-4 and almost-2. These kiddos are crazy and gross – they are all boy, that’s for sure. I decided to do this list after I said the following to Elias yesterday:
1. Get that out of your pants. This really applies to anything… but yesterday it was a 4 foot length of doweling that he had threaded through his underwear like it was a sword.
2. Sweetie, not everyone wants to see your Spiderman underwear. Do you see a theme happening here?
3. OK – go show Daddy, and then never do that again. Suppressing laughter, but followed by the admonition…
4. Kix do not belong in your nose.
5. We have to put on clothing to go out of the house.
6. Underwear is for family time only.
7. Stop smushing your face into mine! I can’t breathe! This is a way that Donovan shows his love – I need to teach him that love does not have to be so… smothering.
8. Donovan, give your brother some space while he goes pee-pee. This is mostly so I don’t wind up with a little kid covered in his brother’s pee-pee.
9. Stop drinking the bath water!!!
10. I miss the boys. Said on a date night with my hubby. I really never thought I would say that on a much needed night alone… Sorry, my love!
For more Top Ten {Tuesday}, visit Amanda here!
Here’s mine…
No, you cannot have any more green beans – you may explode!
(This was said to my second child, my eater. His older brother has only consumed green beans as baby food and that was a long time ago!)

LOL! Leigh, these are great!
My most recent was, “Please don’t play with your toes while we’re eating dinner.” And it was to Lydia. Not Asa.
So girls can be gross, too. 🙂

Every time I change Juliet’s diaper, she says to me, “We don’t eat poop.” Not sure what this says about me…

Those were funny! I’m always telling Olivia, my 3 yr old, to “stop lifting your dress up!” And, “no, we don’t want to know/see what color your underwear is!”
She really keeps me on my toes!

sounds like your life is quite fun
what is it with bath water? its soapy and dirty…WHY would they want to drink it? (i think my daughter tries to drink it more)
I need to compose a list like this. I think it would be very similar to yours! 🙂
