His THING...



After lunch one day Elizabeth asked if she could color and she went to get her coloring book which happened to be a notebook this day. She asks me what she should draw a picture of and I told her Weston. She drew a picture of Weston and then showed it to me. I then asked her what the thing was on Weston's tummy.
Her reply "his thing."
Me "what thing?" (all the time I am praying she is not going to say the next thing but know it is coming)
Elizabeth "you know where his peepee comes out."


Last week I was at Target and we walked past the toothpaste aisle. As soon as we were past it Elizabeth asked "Mom, can I tell you about Colgate Total?"
Me "sure"
Elizabeth "Colgate total keeps your teeth clean for 12 hours."
I think maybe I should write a letter to Colgate saying that their commercials can even reach a 4-year-old... Awesome


I have some worksheets that I give Elizabeth with her name on them so she can trace her name and get the feel for what it looks like and how to draw the letters. (it is an awesome website you can make it print anything http://www.handwritingworksheets.com/) She had been doing a great job in tracing the letters the correct way and this morning while I was watching her she was starting at the bottom right and moving her pencil to the left. I told her that she is not doing it right and asked if I could show her the correct way to form the letters. She looks it me rolls her eyes a bit and says "Mom, I am a kid I KNOW what I am doing." What more can I say to her??
She KNOWS what she is doing.


About a month ago our upstairs tv, Keith's gaming tv semibroke. It had a 7 inch blue line down the middle. He told me it was broken and I said that I would take care of it. Two weeks late he asked if I had done anything about it... no I never turn that tv on so I just did not think about it. So I finally called and Geek Squad came out to look at it. He said that they needed to order a new screen for it and then he would be back in a week to fix it. A couple of days later I got a call from Best Buy saying that Toshiba does not make a replacement screen for that tv so we would get a new tv. So we went from a 720p to a 1080p tv for free yeah!!! Thanks Best Buy!!
