Totally unrelated picture, but, hey look! Claire is sitting up!!! 🙂
Striped Dress & Tights by June & January
Eloise has started saying “mik at me! mik at me!” when she wants someone to look at her, anytime she is doing something funny or is trying to get our attention. The other day, she was yelling for Harper, “sissy, mik at me! sissy!” but Harper wasn’t paying attention, so Eloise ran up and tapped her right on on the top of the head and yelled “YOO HOO!?”
Sometimes you don’t want to admit when your kids are exactly like you, like the other day, on our way home from the doctor’s office, I drove through Starbucks. Harper asked if they could have blueberries (the Starbucks at our Target always has dried blueberries that go in the oatmeal, and the sweet barista always gives them to the girls), so I asked if they had some. The barista said no they only had regular blueberries, so I told Harper that we wouldn’t order any because we had regular blueberries at home. Her response? “Oh, then you don’t need to get coffee too right, because we have regular coffee at home?” Touche.
A few weeks ago, I spilled my entire venti iced coffee all over the car as I was pulling my diaper bag out of the front seat & knocked it over. It wasn’t pretty. Later that night, Brandon was giving Harper & Eloise a bath while I nursed Claire in our bed & this conversation took place.
Harper: something happened to mama today
Brandon: oh yea, what?
Harper: She spilled her whole coffee all over the car
Brandon: oh no, really?
Harper: yep, and then she said a bad word.
Brandon: what did she say?
Harper: damnit and fucking.
Mom of the year.
The girls still love their play kitchen, and every day they make all sorts of pretend food to feed to Brandon & I, or baby Claire who will always open her mouth for an empty spoon. Harper will bring me things and tell me it is lemon meringue pie oatmeal or carrot and hummus pot pie. Every time Eloise brings me something and I ask what it is, “TETCHUP!!!!” 🙂
Four year olds, for the win.
Hahahahahaha!! Thank you for sharing! I've dropped a few bad words here and there. Only to have my toddler repeat them to me. You aren't alone.
I can't stop laughing! This was the best post!
So funny!!
OMG! Hahaha ?
Classic! Lol love it!
LOL this is hilarious!! Thanks for sharing!
Stories like these are some of my favorites, they can just be so funny! I love the things Harper said the best, especially the conversation she had with Brandon when she mentioned you said a bad word. You might want to be a little more careful about what you say around your girls!
Classic! I love the innocence of kids – "dammit and fucking" lol. Too good. Your girls are so sweet!
Lol the last one was the funniest!
Dying!!!!
So. Much. Hilarious!! I seem to ALWAYS lose my phone around the house, and then when we need to go somewhere I'm always looking for it and a few curse words will be muttered. My 5 year old said, "Mom, Jesus is watching." Uuuuuggggghhhhhh! Thanks kid. Lol
If only I could just keep up with my phone. It's so frustrating. I definitely have a bad case of mommy brain.
Things are never boring around with these kiddos. 😉
Dying! Absolutely hilarious!
OH. EM. GEE. I am CRYING laughing at that last one!!!!!! LOL!!
??? hysterical! I'm a teacher in Marietta and I always say that teachers and parents should write a book on things that kids say. It would be best seller for sure!
Haha, I don't usually comment but this time, I had to! Your kids are hilarious. Thanks for sharing.
Hahaha that last one was amazing!!! I love these posts probably as much as you love writing them! 🙂
These are just too good! Can't wait until my little one starts talking, just to have these hilarious moments to laugh at!
THE BEST! Love your girls! I also love when Abbie tells me her crazy stories and funny things. Girl has got some wild imagination for just under three.
Oh my gosh, that last paragraph put such a grin on my face! TOO FUNNY! You guys had to have been dying after that one. Love your stories and sweet photos of the girls! <3
These posts are my FAVORITE. Our three year old just noticed her dad's you-know-what and said the same thing.
The talking stage just might be my favorite. and you obviously need to give that girl some more TETCHUP 😉
Thanks for the laugh. I remember so many stories with my two little ones wish I had written all of them down so I would not have to rely on my memory though. What a great gift this blog will be for the girls someday.
Dying……DYING laughing!! OMG, thank you for making this lame Thursday better with these hilarious toddler tales!
This just made my day, and made me laugh so hard! Thank you!
Harper is hilarious!!! I've got to start watching my swearing too. The other day I told Sophie to go to sleep and she was like "or what?"
liz @ j for joiner

CRYING, I'm laughing so hard. Those stories are hilarious!
Yes, yes, yes! Literally laughed out loud! I have 2 girls the same age as Harper and Eloise. 🙂 all these sayings sound so familiar. I probably would have also cried if I spilt my coffee, haha!
Such a HILARIOUS post. Couldn't love it more.
I am dying! This is one of your best posts to date! Thanks for keeping it real!
Haha, that dad and his poopy pants! 😉
damnit and fucking. OMG! I try so so hard not to curse in front of my kids but the other day when my 2.5 year old said 'fuck' I just had to laugh (when she was out of the room of course)

Oh my goodness those are all awesome! Thank you for my "laugh out loud" moments today!
Oh my…. the last story…. it killed me… You are "mom of the year" to those kids!! Congrats from Argentina 🙂
I love all of your toddler stories! Thank you for sharing. I'm having a particularly crazy day with my kiddos and it is just good to know that there is someone else out there dealing with the same kind of circus antics. 🙂 Cheers to mommahood!
These were so funny I had to read them to my husband!
This is so perfect! And hilarious! Thank you for sharing! I can't wait until my 17 month old starts really talking.
LOVE THAT!! Harper tells on mom, and Eloise is obsessed with tetchup
These are just awesome and have my laughing every time!
It's not even 6am here and I am dyyyyyyyying hahaha love this post!
Oh my gosh, Jessica. Laughed so hard at this!!!!!! So so so good. PLEASE keep 'em coming!!!!
Bahahaha these are hysterical! Don't you just love the things that kids say? Our 23 month old little girl has just started asking for us to play with her, but instead of saying "play with me" she says "play with you." But she can't say "play" so it just comes out "with you." However, when she says with, it sounds more like "Eff" so when she asks you to play with her she says, "Eff you!!" And if you tell her to wait a minute she starts yelling, "EFF YOOOOU!!!! EFF YOOOOU, MOMMY!!" I die every single time. Sometimes I delay the process of actually playing with her just so I can hear her say it. Lol.
haha that made me laugh out loud! Sweet girls I seriously cannot wait to hear the ridiculous stuff my daughter will soon be saying.
I'm dying! My daughter is just starting to put words together I can't wait lol thanks for the laugh
I am dying! These are hilarious!
Your favorite posts to write and my favorite posts to read!! Hilarious! Thanks for sharing!
So what was your husband's reply to Harper's poop question? 😀
This made my morning!
Hahaha oh my, I'm crying with laughter. I get told on all the time by my 4 year old as well! And don't get me started with the anatomy questions. They definitely make life entertaining, don't they?!
You absolutely have me laughing out loud with these. The best! xx
Peed my pants laughing at the "she said a bad word" and the "ya got poop?" LOL. So amazing.
And the coffee-at-home thing?!?! CRAZY how smart they are so little an age!!!
My son is almost 3 and I just love the things he says. Love love love.
I actually laughed out loud when I read the coffee story. Kids are fantastic!
My niece (4yo at the time) walked in on my brother going to the bathroom. She pointed to you-know-what and said "what is that, a finger!?" My brother was't prepared and just said… "yes." Her eyes got wide and said "that's a BIIIIIIG finger" and walked out. Probably one of my favorite stories of all time.
Oh my gosh, I can't stop laughing. These are amazing. I could totally see my kid in a few years like Harper calling me out on not needing coffee.
I almost spit out my lunch laughing at this, while sitting at work, at a client's office. Love these posts the most! Thanks (to you and your sweet family) for the laughs. Also, I am trying to work on keeping the curse words at a minimum these days – I have a nine mouth old who only says "mumma" but I wouldn't be surprised if her second word was something that should definitely not come out of her sweet mouth! It's harder than it seems.
dying at the last one!!! and the convo that took place in the bath! there is never a dull moment.
I literally just LoL'ed while on my lunch break! The bath time story was hilarious! You're so right though, as much as I hate to see them grow up, hearing them talk like little people is the best!
These posts are the most refreshing and always give me a good laugh. Raising little ones is full of surprises. Some you laugh at and some make you completely question your parenting (daily for me). Lots of love to your family full of girls! Ive got three with a fourth on the way and they really are the best.

Haha this was hysterical!! Thanks for the laugh on this dreary Thursday morning here in KC!!
You're blog is the best 🙂
Thanks for the laughs this morning! ? I'm learning the ropes with my first baby, and find myself mourning the loss of her tiny-ness (she was a preemie). Good reminder that talking makes babes so much fun!
I definitely lol'd a few times during this one. I love the toddler tales! Keep them coming! 🙂
This is so cute and sure did brighten my day. Thanks
Um, these stories are hilarious! I was reading them on a few minutes of free time while my students were working on an assignment and you had me laughing out loud. Love it!
I can't ????. Harper is hilarious!! Omg ??
So classic!!! I should write more of Ethan's down right now…always so cute!
I have a 2.5 year old and she already makes me laugh all day long with the things she comes up with. I can't wait til age 4! ?
I am in tears. Thanks for the laugh!
Thanks for the amazingly funny, real to life post. Love it and love reading your blog. You keep it so real. Appreciate the candor. Keep it coming.
This post has me cracking up!!! Toddler talk is the best! 🙂
Oh my goodness. This just made my day! Thanks so much for sharing!
Ahahaha, that last one made me laugh out loud!!
So cute!!! My 3year calls ketchup "Cat-purrrr". She been also going through a fearful stage where she wakes up scared in the night the other night I asked her what was wrong & she said Superman was getting my legs ?
looool
the other day, my husband got out of the shower and my 2.5 year old starts pointing and yelling "tail! tail!"
Dying at the damnit & fucking! My 3 year old repeated "fucking taxes" the other day so, ya, there's that.
These are hysterical!!! Especially the blueberries, spilled coffee, and Brandon. I'm dying laughing. My two year old just now has enough words and I'm dying over trying to remember to document them.
Hilarious!! I read the coffee spill to my husband because we can totally relate! ?
I can't even �� This made my day! And made me laugh out loud! Such a beautiful family you have.
Your girls are too funny!! I should write down some of the stuff our toddler says..reminds us too, that we need to watch what we say around him!
OMG!!! DYING!!! I love this. My favorites for sure are the last one about Brandon and the one where she calls you out for having coffee at home. Touche Harper! I can't help but wonder… did she get the blueberries after that comment? LOL.
Dying! This is brilliant – your girls are awesome 🙂
Best blog post! Had me laughing out loud!
Ah, I can so relate! My 1/2, almost 3 yo doesn't know what "bad words" are yet. I accidentally said "fucking disgusting" around her once and she said "MOM! We don't say disgusting!" I died.
Perfect Little Happiness
This is too funny! They say the darnedest things! I need to start writing down more of what my 3 year old says because the way their minds work are just too funny!
