ExCUSE Me!

For some reason, Sophie and Hannah are really into wipes right now. They always ask for them when I change their diapers. And when I give them one they say "Two! Two wipes!". Or Hannah says "New wipe!" when she's done with hers. I can't for the life of me figure out why she needs a new wipe.

And today Sophie was "cleaning" the couch with a wipe saying "Dirt. Ewww! Dirt. Ewww!" Over and over again. Ha ha. I don't know why she was saying that because the couch wasn't dirty and there wasn't any dirt on the wipe. But she was very serious about the "dirt".

But here is where I win Mother of the Year. I have been teaching them about "please" and "thank you". Somehow we got on the subject of burping and saying "excuse me". To demonstrate, I pretended to burp loudly and in a high pitched voice I would say "ExCUSE Me!" So now they say "Burp Mommy!" And for the next 10 minutes I pretend burp and say "excuse me!". They think it's a riot. The upside is they now say "excuse me" after they burp. I know the lady next to us at Hobby Lobby was impressed.

And on a similar subject, they like to let us know when they fart (as if we can't tell). Or better yet when someone else farts. So if Sophie passes gas Hannah will say "Sophie fart!" One time Sophie passed gas while sitting on Craig lap. Hannah said "Daddy fart!" Craig said "No, that was Sophie." Hannah turned to me and said "Daddy fart. Daddy fart!" Craig was extremely offended.
