After trying to keep her brother from a place he wasn’t supposed to be several times, Maron finally told him, “Jackson, this attitude is not working!” I wonder where she gets these things from???

“Daddy, I have a body.”

“I can’t believe my cheerios are here to me.” (said with joy and excitement)

“You’re the sweetest mommy I ever seen.”

We apparently interrupted Maron’s precious Finding Nemo time, so she kindly told us, “Stop this talking, I can’t do this right now.” Gotta love the silly/sinful things they say that deserve discipline, but instead wind up on their mom’s Blog.

“I pray for my poop. God Jesus, please help me to go poo poo in my potty, I promise I will. Amen.”

“Daddy, I know you don’t feel well, but I need you to get me some cheerios, I know you can do it.”

After turning on a toy she has that makes a lot of noise, Maron said, “Did I wake up the baby that is in your tummy?”

“Daddy, you smell like Cheerio.”

Some friends have recently introduced me to free lunch at the park, something many parks participate in for school-aged children. You should totally check it out if you haven’t!!! You can call 311 on your phone for information regarding parks participating in your area. Anyway, I told Maron to ask her dad if he wanted to go to free lunch at the park this morning, and she said, “Daddy, do you want to go to free park?”. She now continues to refer to it that way! So cute.

I love the ways Maron tries really hard to not eat her food.  Last night at dinner, with a plate of chicken she had barely touched (and didn’t want to) she tells us,  “My back is hurting”.  “Why?” we ask.  “From eating too much chicken.”  Good one Maron!  A three-year-old’s back hurting for any reason is just ridiculous, but I gotta hand it to her for this one – what an ingenious way to try to get out of eating your dinner!  I of course proceeded to ask Bryan if anyone’s back has ever hurt from eating too much ice cream?

The below is a recent conversation between Maron and my dear friend Kaycee as best as it was remembered, so funny! -

M: “What’s on your lips?”

K: “It’s lipstick.”

M: “My mommy wears lipstick.”

K: “Some day you’ll get to wear lipstick, too.”

M: “No.”

K: “Well, when you grow up… if your mom says it’s okay.”

M: “Mom, can I grow up?”

“Mom, why do you give me milk with cow in it?”

“Does chocolate come from cows, too?”
