Tuesday Talk: My Momfessional Moments

It takes no time at all for me to end up with a list of

awkward/embarrassing/gross/silly mom stories.

Having an almost two year old shadow definitely keeps life interesting.

Here are my most recent Momfessional Moments

1. Olive has learned the words SCARY & SCARED recently.  I think she got it from a book with these cute little monsters in it.  We tease and say they are scary and make silly faces when we get to their page.  This is all cute until we are out in public and she decides it's the perfect time to use her new words.  We were checking out at our beloved TJ Maxx and she starts pointing.  There's a big man in line behind us and she starts saying "I scared."  "Scary!" "Hold me, mama." Followed up with 5 more minutes of "I scared."  Nothing in the world would distract her and so she just she was scared a million different ways.  She kept hiding her face and asking me to hold her.  I was a tiny bit mortified, the cashier was cracking up and I just tried to smile through it.

2. We were both sitting on the floor playing together.  She has recently started herky jerky throwing things.  Her arms flail up and who knows where she's aiming.  Things go flying frequently.  She tossed an entire snack cup of her goldfish, said Uh-Oh and  then hopped up and proceeded to stomp the pile into the rug.  It all happened in a matter of seconds.  I picked her up and said a stern NO.  I explained why this wasn't acceptable and she replied, "I wuv you mama."  All was forgiven.

3. We were practicing counting and doing some fun flash cards.  We were counting and got up to 8, 9, 10, 11 and then I paused.  She chimed in and said TWELVE.  I was in shock because usually she says one, two, free, four, pive, six and nine.  I guess she was listening to me.

4. If we have pizza for dinner she throws her hands up and says HOORAY.  I fixed a frozen Freschetta pizza for dinner the other night and you would have thought I'd been slaving in the kitchen all day long.  She seems to prefer pizza over any other dinner option.  Point taken.

5. We were in my room getting dressed last week.  She headed off to our bathroom and got too quiet.  I went in to find her sitting in the bath tub with my razor (with the cover on it) and a bar of soap.  She was tasting the soap and making gross faces.  I guess Irish Springs doesn't taste delicious.  I seriously took my eyes off her for a second.

6. I was rocking Olive to sleep the other night.  She'd had a drink of milk, we had chatted and said our bedtime prayers.  She was getting sleeping so I told her it was time to go to bed.  She leaned it, grabbed my faced and proceeded to say ugga mugga and rub noses with me.  It was precious and may have made me tear up.  She is obsessed with Daniel Tiger and he says ugga mugga for his I love yous to his parents.  They rub noses and it's adorable.  Her daddy has since been trying to get her to ugga mugga him :)

Please tell me your funny kid stories to make me feel better.
