Out of the mouths of babes

The girls are talking in sentences and putting together so many complete thoughts it amazes/scares/impresses/embarrasses me at the things they come up with and say. In the past week I have been told I looked like Rapunzel on Tangled and should throw down my hair for Brynn to climb up on. Ari has shh’d me and told me I don’t need to yell, while yelling at her sister for drinking the bath water for the 100th time. Brynn told me she was stronger than me while holding my 4lb dumbbells next to her ears. Ari was upset with Brynn and I for singing along to a song she didn’t like.  I said to her “Ari, don’t you like this song?” and her response (slightly annoyed with me for even asking) was “NO, Mom is sucks.” This is one of those not so proud embarrassed moments but as a horrible parent I cannot help but laugh about it. I didn’t let her see I was laughing and just said we probably shouldn’t use that word.

This morning Ari told me she was moving out. She wasn’t upset it was just totally random while eating breakfast. I asked her where she was going and she said to college. Super proud moment. I said “Are you taking me with you or are you going alone?” She said she was taking me with. I asked her then where we were going and she said “U-Conn.” Johann has been telling the girls since they were days old that they were going to U-Conn to play basketball so I guess they are listening.

When you ask the girls their names Ari will tell you that her name is Ari and Brynn will tell you her name is Sissy. Also this morning Brynn fell and on Ari while running. Brynn said “Sorry Mommy.” Ari said “I am not Mommy!” Brynn replied “Oh yah, sorry Sissy.” Ari- “I am not Sissy. I am Ari. You are Sissy.” They do call each other Sissy all the time but now Brynn thinks that’s her name. Give it a try next time you see them.

In case you haven’t heard the paternity test came back. I am the girl’s mom. They choose lettuce over pizza and running shoes over high heels!

Brynn & Ari- My little runners!
