She says the funniest & cutest things

They often say that kids will say the darndest things & it really is true. There will often be a moment in the day that Sydney will say something & it will strike me as particularly cute, funny, or even odd. Of late, here are a few of my favourites:

• "Jason, I'm so impressed"
• "Mommy, look at what your son did!"
• "Momma" (not my favourite & not sure where it came from)
• "That smarts!" (we taught her to say this instead of crying when she bumps into something, but it is still cute to hear her say it)
• "I liked spending the whole day with just you" (she had her hands on my cheeks when she said this which added to the cute factor)

Finally, there is the Halloween costume discussion. We have a tiger costume that Regan wore for her first Halloween & Sydney wore for her first Halloween. Last weekend we got it out to be sure that it would fit Jason & it does. Before I tell you what Sydney said, first I will give some background. Over a year ago & for a reason I don't even remember, Sydney assigned us all animals. Brad is a tiger, I am a monkey, Jason is a polar bear & Sydney is a panda bear. If I ever call Jason or Sydney a monkey because they are being silly, she is very quick to correct me & tell me that I am a monkey.

Last weekend she asked Brad why Jason was going to be a tiger for Halloween. He told her that we had a tiger costume & that maybe Jason wanted to be a tiger, just like she was going to be Cinderella. Sydney told Brad that "Jason could be a tiger for Halloween, but then he goes back to being a polar bear!".
