צדקה ממני!

A couple of days ago, while my 3 year old daughter was almost melting down bc I wasn't doing whatever quickly enough, I told her to just have patience and no need to cry.  It sort of worked.  Fast forward to today.  We were outside going around our block, I was pushing my son in the stroller and she was on her tricycle.  She kept stopping every two seconds bc of an incline, or a bump, or it's Sunday, whatever.  I was losing my mind and kept saying to "keep going Hodayah!  You gotta keep going!". She got tired of me saying that, and with her hands flapping, she yelled at me "Mommy!  You need to have some patience!"
I love her so much!
צדקה ממני!

Princess

Hodayah likes when we say "good night princess" to her and usually asks us to say it.  Tonight's gem:
Hodayah:. Say "goodnight princess".
Me: Goodnight princess.
H:. Say "goodnight princess" to Hillelly.
Me: Hillelly's not a princess.  
H: He's a man princess!

Abba Knows Best!

 This week's gem from Hodayah:

"Abba, you know Everything!"
I had to go to the sidewalk and scoop up the puddle of Moshe.

Marriage

I have a friend who worries about her son, like all good mothers do.  I told her not to worry b/c my daughter would come and marry him and straighten him out.  (They're both 4, just as a side note.)  When my daughter heard that, her response was "No!  I won't straighten him out.  I'll just marry him and then I'll just wear a hat!"
Solid plan, Hodayah.

No Hitting

I totally hear Hodayah saying this...like when she hits me and says "I didn't hit you.  I just touched you so you wouldn't fall off".

Good Idea

Tonight's gem from Hodayah:
H: Mommy!  I have a good idea!
Me: Ok. What's your good idea?
H: I have a baby sister!
Me: Ummm...you do?
H: Yes.  She's in my belly.
Me: Oh my goodness.  When is she coming out?
H: in two weeks.
Me: IN TWO WEEKS?!?  OH MY GOODNESS!
H: Yes.  She's a dolphin now.

I lost you there kiddo.

Foil Balls

Actual conversations with my children: 1. One Shabbat, Moshe, Hodayah, and Hillel all had crumpled balls of foil and were planning to ambus...
