T: "Yeah, I wish I had cauliflower instead of strawberries, but they were still good."
M: (silently thinking.... WHO SAYS THAT?)

I am glad you are writing these down. There was a TV show when I was young (yes we did have TV back then). It was "Kids Say The Darndest Things" and they still do.
I'm glad someone remembers to write these things down; I haven't been so good about it. I keep thinking I'll put it in their scrapbook but you have to actually work on a scrapbook to include things. In the meantime, you've inspired me to start keeping track of how they say things. I love that show your mom mentioned, I wish they still had it.
Hey, wasn't that the show that Bill Cosby hosted? I remember that one...so it wasn't TOO long ago! I hope when I can clearly understand my kids, I can write down a couple of things b/c there's no telling what kind of conversations they will have! I think my favorite thing that Tripp said was that he wished he had cauliflower instead of strawberries!
That is so cute! I often wish I knew what our girls were thinking...I guess I'll find out soon and get to write down lots of funny things!!
its awesome that you'll have that to look back at one day. loved the st peters bible reference.. thats priceless.
hey amy--just checking in and loving how precious our children are at these impressionable young ages. cute stories from tripp! I have been checking in, but have had so much going on that my computer time is minimal-guests back to back, and trips coming up, back to back. you looked so pretty in your birthday pics, too!
steph lyon
I think you need a quote book like Jason's!
Way to go writing them down!!!!! Those are precious!
St. Peters, Missouri--that cracks me up. What a good idea to write them down...I'm not organized enough for that myself. I do remember Abbey pointing at a very large man at the movie theater when she was 4 and saying very loudly, "look Mommy, he's pregnant too!".
where are your pictures from the beach?!!!
