He scored 2 goals today!

toddler time

There is a skating ring that opens up their floor to toddlers and their ride on toys on certain days. We were invited to a birthday party there. They loved it!

he said

He was playing with a jump rope with our 8 year old neighbor and it broke.

E: I can fix it.
Alexa: Who cares about a rope?!
E: A cowboy.

he said

(talking to our 5 year old neighbor)
I know about time zones. We had a book from the Library. If you draw a line around the world and you leave for school early on one side of the line, you will get to school late on the other.

Edric scored SIX goals in his soccer game. They don't keep score, but they had 9 goals total. He wore blue this week.

It's a goal!

Reese's "ticket"

While Mommy was upstairs folding laundry (for maybe 10 minutes), Reese filled up cups of water and spilled them all over the floor. Edric said he was giving her this "ticket" because she was bad. It's a picture of her spilling water.

Mommy: Can you clean the toys off the couch?
E: Why?
Mommy: So we can sit on it?
E: Are we going to sit on it right now?
M: No, I just mean in general.
E: Jenn's coming over to sit on the couch?
M: No, Jenn's not coming over. Just clean off the couch so anyone can sit on it.

(a few minutes later)
E: When's Jenn coming over to sit on the couch?

he said

E: Come look! There's a spider!
Mommy: It's just a daddy long legs. They don't bite. It's okay.
E: It's so big! I think it's a grandpa long legs.

Mommy: do you know what to do if you ever get lost?

E: I would buy a phone and call 911 or Alex and Ava.

Mommy: You know Alex and Ava's phone number?

E: I would have it in my phone.

me: Let's give Elliott a bath.
E: We can put him in my bathtub.
me: No. No. He's a dog. We will do it outside.
E: Okay. Now where can we find a bucket big enough to fit him?
