When Hattie was almost three, we were on our way home from a family Christmas gathering. Jason was taking a different route than he normally took and didn't realize the speed limit there was 25 mph. He was going faster than that and got pulled over. The officer came to the car and spoke with Jason briefly and went back to his squad car. When he returned he told Jason he would be giving him a warning and the have a safe holiday. Jason rolled up the window and I exclaimed, "Thank you God!" Hattie, being at the age to repeat everything she heard, says, "Thank you Bob!"
Now Josie, at two and a half, is coming up with her own funny moments. Recently, she requested to be put in time out. Apparently she recognized that she was being naughty and that a time out was probably coming her way. It was so cute and sweet to me that I had to create this layout.
Supplies: Acrylic die-cuts, brads, buttons, clip, rub-ons, patterned paper (Fancy Pants Designs) • letter stickers (Karen Foster Design) • paint (Making Memories)
The journaling reads: You were getting tired and you started to throw a fit. You stomped your foot and announed, "I wanna go time out!" I didn't argue with you. That's just what you needed. I little rest on the bench and you were in a much better mood. I know how you feel little Josie. Sometimes Mama needs a time out too.
So, what's the cutest thing your kid has said lately?

LOVE LOVE LOVE your technique of writing on the photo, I'm ready to get my white pen out to do just that, looks so good.
My 6 year old was dancing around with her shirt over her head. I accused her of being 2-faced, since the day before she didn't want me to "look at her" when she changed her shirt. She said, "No mama, I didn't want you to look at the thing that woman wear to cover their things. WHY don't they make those for kids?!" Yeah really, why, i wonder...
Adorable! I wish I was better at writing that stuff down too Amy. I did recently, actually come across something Elijah said that I'd written down on a scrap of paper. "Is God's eyelash bigger than our house?" :-) He's always thinking!
This is my first time visit, but it wont be my last thats for sure.
I have a folder on my desktop that says: Kids say, and I try to write all the funny things my two boys say down there. I love going into that folder and have a laugh or smile.
