Sometimes, the funniest things kids say come out at the most unexpected times.  If you aren't paying attention, you miss it.  A few weeks ago we were traveling around in our car and Tyler starts singing Luke Bryan's "Rain is a good thing".  Jeff and I were carrying our own conversation but during a silent moment between us we happened to catch Tyler singing "Rain makes corn, corn makes whiskers".  We both instantly looked at each other and gave a each other a smirk.  It was too cute to correct him ("corn makes whiskey") so we continued to let him sing his own lyrics.  Our conversation no longer mattered.  We'd much rather listen to Tyler singing about corn making whiskers!

One evening Jeff, Ellie, and I headed out for a late night dinner.  We were headed to one of our regular pizza spots but when we got there it was closed. Ellie began to get upset because she wanted pizza and thought we weren't getting any.  We turned the car around and headed to Monical's.  To cheer her up I said "Look Ellie!  Pizza!" as I pointed to the Monical's sign with the big red tomato.  She looked up with her tear-filled eyes and slowly turned her pout into a smile.  "Yea!  Apple Pizza!"  And now that's what we all call it, Apple Pizza.

Why is it that everything a toddler says is funny?  My little Ellie Belle repeats everything her older brother and sister say.  One of my favorite sayings right now is "Mom, I tursty".  Or the way she always responds to the question "Where is it?" - "Oh, I'on know."

As a toddler she wants everything now of course, especially her favorite cartoons.  "Batch Eintein".  To the untrained ear, that might be a foreign language, but in our house it refers to watching the ever so popular "Little Einsteins".

My mother always told me that I should write a book about what my kids say.  I'd laugh and say "Who has time for that?"  I was so busy, or so I thought.  That was when there were only two.  Now there are three.  Of course that means less free time to jot down the funny things they say.  And to top it off, now there are triple the funny sayings!  But, in a time of blogging, I've decided to start my own blog.  What better way to capture the memories of my children at these precious ages.  And so it begins...
