Daily Snippets

Me: "Lemmings are chubby little animals belonging to the rodent family. Do you know what chubby means?"
Eaden: "It helps you stay warm."
Me: "Yes! It means you have some fat."
Eaden: "You are chubby mom."
Me: "Oh good, you can use it in a sentence."

Me: "Did you know that most sharks are ovoviviparous, with eggs hatching in their wombs, so that young are born alive?"
Eaden: "Duh mom! I already knew that! I saw it on Wild Kratts!" (see t.v. can be educational).

Naia and Taven were playing in the car seats when Naia managed to buckle herself in and then tip over.

Eaden listens to me read about dinosaurs for almost an hour. Then the book moves on to how most extinction happens today (human activity). When I tell her that lemurs in Madagascar are dying because people are cutting down trees she gets mad and throws the book down.
Eaden: "But trees grow!"
Me: "I know but people are not planting new ones for all the trees they cut down and they are cutting too many too fast." 
Eaden: "But I plant acorns!"
Me: "Yes that's good."
(a few minutes later after Eaden uses the bathroom)
Eaden: "Mom, I saved the toilet paper."

Eaden: "What are you eating?"
Me: "It's medicine."
Eaden: "Hmmm. It looks like ice cream. Why does it look like ice cream?"
Me: "I don't know. That's weird."

The girls climbed up on the kitchen counter last night in order to steal candy from the cabinet. However, they weren't smart enough to clean up all their wrappers. They did decide they needed to brush their teeth, but then left out the toothpaste that had been squeezed all over the fireplace. On top of that, they found glue and glued magnets to the fridge! 

Note: We put Eaden in a preschool for about a month while I wasn't blogging (I was feeling sick from the pregnancy). Here are some of her famous quotes.

Eaden: (talking about a girl from school) "Mom at her house they have hash brownies."

Eaden: "A boy from my class is named Luke."
Me: "Oh yeah, is he your friend?"
Eaden: "Yeah, I massaged him"
Me: (lol) "You gave him a massage?"
Eaden: "It was his birthday. He sat by me."

Eaden said she wants a "glitter tooth" like a girl at school. In other words, a gold tooth. Ummm no!
