My kids use big words. I guess we must use big words a lot around here, not sure.
Example 1:
I'm in the kitchen and I hear the typical (aka normal, all day every day) yelling. Not paying much attention until Turner comes to the door, whining. (I can NOT stand whining. ) So I tell him in my ever so understanding and loving motherly way, "Go back and watch tv, Mommy is getting supper ready". He's holding the top of his head and yells, " 'awyer 'it me" (translation, SAWYER HIT ME) I say, "It'll be okay" To which he responds, " 'awyer is ANNOYING me" Yep, he can't say Sawyer, nor can he say Hit. He can, however, say Annoying.
More Examples:
I take Judson to the doctor yesterday for his checkup. (on a side note, should he continue on his current growth track, he will be between 5'10" and 6' by the time he's 21. He will weigh about 140 pounds!) While waiting for the doctor, he continues to worry that shots are coming. So the nurse is asking him questions. He is getting pretty annoyed at her for the types of questions. (Do you play sports? Music lessons? etc) She asks about his sleeping patterns: What time do you go to bed? J: Well, my bedtime is 9pm. Actually, it's about 9:10 when I get to bed. Nurse: What time do you wake up? J: Actually, it's pretty RANDOM. Somewhere between 7:15 and 8:10.
The doctor comes in and says immediately, "There will be no shots today" Ahhhhh, life can continue as normal. So he and Doc T are talking. Doc T: So are you and your sister still fighting? J: Actually (a word he uses often), we try to be ALLIES more. Doc T turns around and looks at me. I just shrug my shoulders and tell him, J is learning to play Axis and Allies with his dad. J continues: We're probably allies more like 65% of the time, maybe 66%.

I love Judson!!! He tells the complete truth!
Turner - what can I say - he's adorable.
Your children are all great in their own unique way, and you are just the right mom to draw those positive traits out of them.
hee hee.
Lori...you gotta love him. Of all my kids, if he says, I believe him. He CANNOT tell a lie. Even if he tries, he'll come back within just a few minutes and correct what he said previously. Not only can he not tell a lie. He has to exact on everything. Can't just say, "we don't fight as much" He has assign a number to it.
