makenzie - "i hope tessa will be a good girl today."
me - "why?"
makenzie - "because she can't be bad on her birthday."

seen
on a trip to the bathroom at panda express with makenzie, ethan and myself. each time we go in i tell them not to touch anything except the soap and the paper towels. after makenzie and ethan were done ethan insisted on flushing the toilet. taking a page out of my book and pushing down on the handle with my foot ethan goes over, puts his hand on the toilet seat to brace himself and then lifts up his foot to get the lever. so much for keeping your hands clean. right idea.

heard
this was told to cherisse after she picked up ethan from preschool, earlier ethan got to preschool late.
teachers helper, "looks like you slept in today huh ethan."
ethan, "yeah i need to get an alarm clock."

heard
my sister molly called with these tidbits from her oldest son

molly told damon that we were going to be coming up to oregon for christmas when uncle austin comes to our house you might have to let them sleep in your room.
damon - "well kenzie can sleep in my room with me." a couple of seconds later, "my teeth are dirty, kenzie won't like me if my teeth are dirty." then runs to the bathroom to brush his teeth.

when he comes back from brushing his teeth
damon - "when everyone is done playing with my toys downstairs, kenzie can come up and sleep in my bed, uncle austin can sleep on the couch."

i got on the phone with damon, and this is what he said
"when you drive to my house, you can sleep on the floor uncle austin, and your girlfriend shar-isshe, kenzie and ethan can sleep in my bed with me, and so can girlfriend tessa."

molly, "damon who is the prettiest girl that you know?"
damon, "um, kaih and kenzie."
molly, "which one is prettier?"
damon, "kenzie."

heard
i had just got home from work and was in the bathroom and the door was cracked open while makenzie and i were having a conversation about her day. i had just remembered that i had something for her in the car,
i said, "hey makenzie do you know what i have for you?"
her quick response, "diarrhea!"

seen
tessa cruising all over the house wherever her little legs will carry her to open up things, pull things out, and make a mess. at times she has earned the nickname from makenzie, messy tessy.

ethan riding on his trike with tessa wedged in behind him on his way to pick up makenzie from school across the street. tessa passes the time by waving to people passing by jabbering on in her language.
