People often ask me what it’s like to be with 2 small kids alone all day and most of the time, I don’t even know what to say. I figured I’d just post a couple of their conversations verbatim so you get to feel like you’re right there with them. Or not.
The Robotic Invasion
Truett: See, I made a robot (using Megabloks).
Kirsten: I want BOBOT, peas peas!!
Truett: No, mei mei, you need to make your own.
He proceeds to tap her on the head with the robot
Me: Hey, don’t do that! Don’t knock your sister on the head.
Truett: Ok, later robot pain pain.
Me: Not the answer I was looking for dude. We need to have a little chat about your priorities.
Playground Protection
Truett: Mei mei, come here!
Kirsten: Um…no. (She obviously picked this up from me and does the um *pause* with a lot more gusto)
Truett: You want to sit on the slide with me?
Kirsten: Um…no.
Truett: It’s very fun, mei mei, you want to try?
Kirsten: Um…no.
Truett: You protect me can? I’m very scared to sit by myself.
Kirsten: Ok, I go.
That’s SO GROSS
Truett sees a scrunched up ball of brown paper on the floor near the playground and advances towards it while keeping a safety distance of 3 metres.
Truett: Look, that’s SO GROSS. Ewwwwww. Be careful, mei mei!
Kirsten walks right up to it and gives it a solid kick to send it flying.
Truett: Eeeeeeee, don’t!! That’s disgusting, it’s an insect.
Me: That’s not an insect, it’s just paper.
He thinks for a while, then goes up to it and steps on it ever so gingerly.
Truett: See, I’m not scared, it’s just paper.
Mandatory Playtime
Truett: Kirsten, do you want to play with me please?
Kirsten: I don’t want.
Truett: You play with me, mei mei, I ask nicely already.
Kirsten: NOOOOO, don’t want.
Truett: Mei mei, you play with me later can get gummy.
Kirsten: Later I get gummy bear.
Me: Tru, you can’t promise gummies you don’t even have, that’s cheating.
Truett: Mommy, later you give mei mei gummy bear ok because she play with me very well.

Haha… Truett really is quite a fast thinker! :)
Jus´s last post ..Weaning Wednesdays- Some suggestions please
I actually don’t know if that’s really a good thing. He hasn’t started his “why” phase yet, I’m thinking if he starts asking me difficult why questions, I’m just going to make up things as I go along.
Can’t wait to have a second kid and hear conversations between my kids! Great post :)
Yes, have more babies!! They definitely have their share of fights but when they play together peacefully, it almost makes everything else worth it.
hahaha! they are sooo cute! makes me look forward to the conversations my kids would be having in future! (otherwise, i can imagine it might be mind-numbingly boring with 2 small kids at home all day!)

So exciting, it should be anytime now! Then add another year or so for baby girl to talk.. But even before that, it’s really sweet to see them spending time together. And when it gets boring, you can dress them up in ridiculous outfits just so you can laugh at them – that always makes me feel better.
haha the age of innocence. My girl will even show the bros how to stomp on ants and roaches !!
andy´s last post ..Our kids can cook – Coriander Leaf
So cute!
Haha very cute!
Love your header as usual. :))
Madeline´s last post ..All Things 2-in-1
Thanks Madeline! Time for a new header, haven’t had time to get it done till now.
Your girl is fearless…stomping on the paper to show her bro. I like the way your son think, he’s so smart….adorable.
I was also very amazed at how fearless she is. She goes on very tall slides by herself and doesn’t even mind if she falls and bumps her bottom on the way down. I think it’s down to the personality. Tru is more the thinker and she’s the doer.
My son is also a doer…he’s really active. Doesn’t like to sit down and read. Like your gal, he likes exploring new stuff and is fearless…hope to have a daughter that is a thinker. They will complement each other…haha
