Kids say the darndest things. (Rated G)

Get your Tupperware ready, you may be vomiting here in a minute. I know that reading about the cute things that other people's kids do is not nearly as interesting as hearing about your own kids' moments, but I am going to make you endure it anyway. We'll consider it a make-up session from yesterday's racy topic.

I've been saying for months that I need to write down the funny things Rowan (my 2 year old son) says so that I can remember them in the future. Well, I am forgetful, and I haven't gotten around to doing it yet. I will take this opportunity to recall some of the recent conversations we've had. Bear with me.

Every morning Rowan takes part in my "getting ready for work" routine. He sits on the counter and plays with the light switches while I glamourize myself for the upcoming day. We then migrate to the bedroom where I try on 20 outfits (more or less) attempting to find something that is wearable for 10 hours. Anyhoo--the other day I had some pants on but then decided they wouldn't work. Rowan said "Oh, mama, are those too tight too?!" Why, yes son, they are. Thanks for noticing.

After work a couple of days ago, I decided to let him swim in our "white trash blow-up pool" in the backyard. I went in the house (with Rowan) to change into some shorts and a t-shirt. I grabbed some shorts out of my dresser drawer when Rowan said "Them are big ol' shorts!" Why, yes son, they are. Thanks for noticing.

Until we learned our lesson, every Sunday we would tell Row that we were going to church to see Jesus. We didn't think much about it--just a funny thing to say, really. We didn't realize how badly we were screwing up our son's psyche until one day my husband showed Rowan a picture of his Sunday School teacher on Facebook. Aaron said "Who is the person in this picture?" Rowan responds, "Jesus!" Since he sees her every week at church, I guess he just assumed that when we say that we are going to see Jesus, that is who we mean. We haven't been saying that anymore.

I'm not sure why he names all of his toys and animals with uncommon names that he has never heard, but he does. Rowan has a blue stuffed monkey that goes everywhere with him. His name is Bubbles (named by yours truly). Recently my husband asked him what Bubbles' middle name is. Rowan responds "Stew." Husband: "Stew?!" Rowan: "Yeah, Bubbles Stew Beck." Well, okey dokey then. Fast forward a couple of weeks. My husband asks Rowan the name of his overall-wearing toy rabbit; Rowan responds "Claude." Husband: "Claude?" Rowan: "YEAH!" Alrighty.

Since I don't want Jillian to feel left out, below is a video of her "talking" last night. The video is a bit dark, but I wasn't expecting to be filming her so late at night.

That is all I will bore you with today.

Until tomorrow.
