I was sitting at dinner tonight thinking of "The List" that I have in my head of things that I never thought that I would have to say to anyone.
1. "DO NOT LICK the window!"
2. "I know that you are fixing dinner, but can you help me get my chicken?"
("Sunshine" escaped this afternoon. I chased her all over the yard. I finally went next door to get my neighbor to help me catch her. Sunshine is our newest chicken- Rosie ended up being a rooster. )
3.
"No! You can't take your suitcase to the grocery store!" (I told Jonathan to pick ONE toy to bring with him. He literally came out dragging his suitcase)4.
"Sure Honey, you can have chickens in our backyard." (What was I thinking???) (by the way- they have started laying small blue-green eggs)5. "I don't care if you figured out the password. We really don't need to be stealing "security-locked" wireless service from our neighbors. " (we are already snagging the unlocked service from someone down the street)
6. "DON'T gag yourself! You ARE going to eat that green pepper stuck on your pizza!!!" (We have discovered that our child can cough and get out of eating things b/c he will throw up. We are not sure if he does it on purpose all the time. He really does have a quick gag reflex. We have almost cleared restaurants with the sound). By the way- when he finally finished crying, he actually enjoyed the green pepper.
I guess that is all for now. Feel free to add your own.

I'm sure I could have a few to add to the list, too!! Quinn does the same gagging/throw up thing when he refuses to eat something. I really do think it is on purpose, for him. He is definitely a 2yr old! He will decide before the first bite that he doesn't want to eat something & then will gag & puke if I make him eat it. Trip used to do the same thing, but seems to have grown out of it.... at least you know he will grow out of it!
at least the kid is yours. it's sad when the highlight of my entire day is that britton went poo poo in the potty!
i gotta find a new job...
Love your blog, especially the chickens! I have been reading it since the start. Give us a call the next time you are in the area (we are in the book). We would love to see you.
