You crack me up!

I have to make today’s blog a quick one because I am on a roll with getting through my “To Do” list for the day. As I sit here and type, Elliott is entertaining himself quite well wearing cookie cutters as bracelets and a headband as sunglasses while trotting around with one of Sophie’s dress up high heels on…don’t tell Mat J So with this brief moment of Elliott free time, I have snapped up the chance to jump on the computer and blog away. Today I want to share with you some more of the really random and funny things my gorgeous little Sophie says:

I bought Sophie some chopsticks in an attempt to make eating sushi novel for her. When we got home, bags of shopping in hand, she pipes up “Mum, where are my floor pickers?”

Sophie came into the bathroom to have a chat with me while I was plucking my eyebrows. She then asks, with the most puzzled look on her face, “Mum, why are you putting tweezers on your bry owls?”

Understandably, Soph loves grooving out to ABBA. But as far as she is concerned, the lyrics for Waterloo are not ‘Couldn’t escape if I wanted to’…apparently they sing “For goodness sakes I wanted to”.

Sophie asked me one day “Mum, what are we having for dinner”. “I’m not sure” I answered, “I haven’t thought that far ahead yet”. Sophie then responds with “Good, then I can change your mind. Let’s have chippy’s instead”.

One of the kids new favourite games has to be taking clothes off the coat hangers in my wardrobe and playing dress ups with them. Sophie left one of the coat hangers on my bed and when Mat and I were having a wrestle with the kids last night, I rolled over and landed on it. I pulled it out from under my back while saying “What’s this?” Sophie then took the coat hanger from my hand and informed me, quite sternly and as though I was stupid “Mum, it’s a hone caner”. Hmmm, I find them more useful for hanging coats rather than caning honers but each to their own J  

Finally, Sophie was very excited last week to tell us that she had grown taller. We measured her height on the wall and made a big fuss about how grown up she is getting. While we were having breakfast, she told me that she is getting so big that she will be a grown up soon. Sophie then excitedly went on to tell me what will be different for her when she is a grown up:

• “I can go near the stove!”
• “I can buy a house”
• “I can drive a car”
• “Bath the kids and wash the dogs. Five dogs, I’ve got five dogs when I’m a grown up”
• “I can have a deep, deep, deep bath!”
• “I can go to work. Work at home actually. I’m going to be a Mummy and have five babies. I will breastfeed from my boobies because that’s what grownups do”
• “My kids names are going to be Ryan, Casurina, Trustine, Silly Okey, Addie Eedie and Super Grover”. At this point, I was laughing too hard to point out that it appears she’ll have six children rather than five. Absolutely hilarious J
