Devin-isms

~While riding on his 2 wheel bike (with training wheels) at my parents house Devin announced, "This is my motorcycle and a girl sits on the back!" (meaning behind him on the seat!)

~ At school Devin recently announced to his classmates, "My Daddy is fixing the water in the basement. He is sooooo strooong!" (While making the muscle flexing motion!)

~ "Can I watch a movie on your teapot Mommy?" (After a while I finally figured out he meant I- Pod!!!)

Interview with Devin

I took one of those interview things going around on facebook and asked Devin the questions. Its somewhat modified because he did not answer (or understand) each one. Here are the results. It's kinda cute!


~ What is something mom always says to you? That's not nice.

~ What makes mom happy? A kiss

~ What makes mom sad? When you no watch you show

~ How does your mom make you laugh? you sing

~ How old is your mom? 2

~ How tall is your mom? BIG

~ What is your mom really good at? teaching

~ What does your mom do for her job? teach the kids

~ What is your mom's favorite food? I not hungry

~ What makes mom proud of you? go potty

~ What do you and your mom do together? build, make a tower

~ How do you know your mom loves you? I do

~ Where is your mom's favorite place to go? At work

Devin-ism....with a warning!

May contain TMI for some...... :)

This morning as I was getting ready for work, I grabbed my feminine products from the drawer in the bathroom. Devin asked me, "What's that Mommy? Cheese?"

(As in string cheese I guess, haha!)

So I told him, "No, its not cheese. Its a woman thing." Not really knowing how to explain that to a 2 year old!!! He accepts this answer just fine and off he goes.

As we were leaving I double check the lock and he says to me, "You need to go back and get something Mommy?"

"Nope I have everything Devin."

"You have your phone Mommy?"

"Yep."

"Your woman thing?"

"Yep, all set Devin. Let's go!" as I am chuckling and grinning....my little goober!!!

I am glad someone is looking out for me!!! I just wonder....how many people at his school now know I brought my woman things with me today???

In his Striped Christmas Stocking Hat

Dear Santa,

Devin would like to take it easy on you this year. I assume he is doing this in preparation of more expensive years to come. Please read the following conversation that we had this evening:

Mommy: Devin, What kind of presents would you like Santa to bring you?
Devin: No presents, just a lollipop.

I think we can handle this one on our own this year. Thanks Santa!

Love, Karla~ Mommy to Devin age 2 years 7 months 2 days

Out of the Mouth of My Babe!

I have been working with Devin on getting him to learn how to undress himself. This skill will be especially helpful when he decides he is finally ready to potty train (but we won't go there today). I had him try to take off his sweatsuit, diaper, and socks before his bath tonight. He was victorious and this was his reaction to each item he removed: "I actually did it!" I thought it was a riot to hear him using actually!!!

In an effort to get Devin to comply with taking the "long" nebulizer treatment tonight (both types of medicine since his asthma has been acting up) I tried to "bribe" him ahead of time with an offer of a snack afterward. I was thinking of popcorn or crackers. This was our conversation:

Devin: Can I have some chocolate?
Mommy: I don't have any chocolate, Devin.
Devin: Oh you have to get some at the store?
Mommy: Well, yes I do get it at the store.
Devin: Okay, I'll go with you to the store now Mommy.

Hmm, I wasn't thinking we would do that right now Devin!

Devin-isms

New Sport:
After playing with a broken hockey stick at my parent's house Devin proudly declared, "That's my soccer bat!"

New Drink:
My mother bought Devin some Dannon drinkable yogurt. Devin LOVES it and affectionately calls it, "yogurt juice."

"I want more yogurt juice!!!"
