How to Multitask

I just told Breanna it was time for a bath, but then realized I can't make Shane's dinner with both girls in the bath. After I muttered that out loud, Breanna said, "No, you can't, because you don't have stretchy arms like an octopus."

Oh, if only I had the stretchy arms of an octopus!

Muscles and Exercise

Breanna made me feel her muscles and I asked her if she's been working out. She said, "Yes, I've been running and jumping and yelling really loud!"

School discipline

Breanna got a time-out at school yesterday for kicking a boy. It's unclear whether she just wasn't sharing, or if he was "holding her arm really hard." I told her either way, kicking another child could get her kicked out of school next year (Kindergarten). She understood it was wrong, but then said, "I don't think they would kick me out...maybe just push me out the door really hard or something."

She went on to say maybe they would take her to the big office, because they have a big office at big schools.

Silly Breanna

Hey, my elephant smells like Cheez-Its!

She knows Jesus!

I couldn't get Breanna's growing-out bangs to stay in her ponytails this morning. I said, "Do you think they'd stay if I just told them to?" and I kid you not, she said, "No, only Jesus can work miracles."

So sorry about that...

Amidst repeated tearful outbursts about the strangest little things, I asked Breanna why she kept crying about everything today, and she said, "You're just not making my day today!"
