Kid Stuff

Yesterday F kept complaining about her boots hurting when we went to pick up one of my childcare kids from school. It was the first time she'd said anything about it, and since we'd be right back home, I told her she'd be okay. She complained pretty much the whole time til we got back home ... and then I checked the size of her boots ... 11. I checked the size of her shoes ... 12 1/2! Oops! Bad mom! No wonder she was complaining they hurt! I'm just surprised she didn't say anything sooner!

Today I put some socks with zebras on them on S's feet. (He only wore them when he wore boots when we took F to school. None of our kids keep socks on their feet when they're at home, but that's a story for another day.) I showed him the zebras and told him they said "neigh." (Close enough!) Then S kept repeating, "Beeza say 'neigh'! Beeza say 'neigh'!" When we came home and he wanted the socks off, he told me, "Beeza off! Beeza off!" I tried to get him to say "zebra" correctly, but he wouldn't, and I though "beeza" was so cute!
