The Stuff I Live For

Eye-Pod a.k.a. iPod August 4, 2009

Looking at Shay today, I noticed her eye seemed a little red underneath. I asked, 'Shay, what happened to your eye? Did you poke it?'

Ayla ran over to inspect - of course. She seemed to have the answer and quickly said, 'Shay, I think it's a pod. An eye-pod.' Needless to say, I was laughing hysterically while Ayla was asking me over and over, 'What, Mom? What is an eye-pod anyway?'

I explained that an iPod is a little gadget that has headphones and plays music, which neither her Mommy or Daddy have ever had the desire to purchase. I can just see my kids being more 'with it' than us in the next ten years, while we turn into the technilogically impared old folks I now see my parents as.

Kid-a-nese July 11, 2008

Kid-a-nese:  Stuff my kids say.  Shay-a-nese and Ayla-nese are the common terms at our house.

  Me:  Shay, what's wrong?

  Shay:  No sumfeens

  Translation: No somethings, i.e. nothing

Ayla, on Ellen DeGeneres:  That lady looks like a boy!

Prelude - We have a candy machine in our family room that only dispenses M&M's when you put a quarter in.

At a pizza shop table…

  Eric:  Man, this is some close quarters.

  Ayla:  Where's the candy machine?!!    (all she needed to hear was 'quarters'!)

Ayla's term for a beard:  chin moustache

I'm adding this as a category on my sidebar to remind myself to write more of these down. I don't keep journal about my girls (in fact I have hardly any printed pictures let alone baby books), so I must start using this blog, in part, to record all this great stuff.
