Are you going to interview yourself, Kendra? That job description is great… "Play a toys and eat snacks and take a nap. And do a iPad." If only we got to do just the two-year-old's version of our job! 🙂
Ohmygoodness, he is so funny!
Now we know what Mommies REALLY do all day. Play a toys, eat, take a nap. And sometimes gently remind two year olds of their own names. I am genuinely laughing out loud. Thanks for the fun!
I have no witty comments…only laughter. 🙂 Thank you for sharing these.
I will never forget being in the therapists office with our then foster boys and my youngest 'playing' in the doll house. The therapist asks what does mommy do, and he replied sits and watches tv. Then the therapist asked what is daddy doing, oh he was making dinner! I just shook my head. Ohh out of the mouths of littles!
This one is my favorite. Are you going to interview Lulu? I think you should, and then interpret her answers for us. Or take pictures of her face in response to your questions.
Bea loves you back, Frankie. (And so do the rest of us!) You can say her something about cars anytime.
"Can I hava jelly bean for ask a questions?
Yes Frankie, you may. Why do you like jelly beans?
Because I like dem.
That's a tautology.
Thank you."
Awesome.
