When we finally found him, DD promptly gave him a hug and said, "You need to pull you britches up, Smokey."</p> <p>A couple weeks later she was playing with DH on the floor, and noticed his pants were sagging a bit. With a cheeky grin, she said, "Pull up your britches, Smokey!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-am-i-an-octopus-i-only-have-2-arms#post-357235 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 22:21:33 +0000 Mrs. Pen 357235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha what a cutie!!</p> <p>my little sister says stuff like that all. the. time.</p> <p>And it's crazy what they come up with without ever having heard it. This one time my little sister went up to my mom (she was about 3 at the time) and called her a cow, my mom explained it wasn't a kind thing to call someone, so my sister went back to playing. 15 minutes later she approaches my mom and says, "How about boiled rat? is that a nice name to call someone?"</p> <p>wtf where the heck did she get the term "boiled rat" haha. we died laughing it was so funny. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-am-i-an-octopus-i-only-have-2-arms#post-357230 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 22:16:56 +0000 HLK208 357230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Wow! What a smarty pants!</p> <p>DS said something about a year ago (when he was two and a half) when he saw the Panda Express sign out the window in the car, "Look it's a panda! Panda's eat bamboo. Is there bamboo at that restaurant?" It really caught me by surprise. I will always remember him saying that because it made me think about how LO's are such sponges when it comes to learning! It feels like he's really advancing every single day and growing before my eyes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-am-i-an-octopus-i-only-have-2-arms#post-357226 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 22:07:35 +0000 808love 357226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hilarious.

He's getting so big! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-am-i-an-octopus-i-only-have-2-arms#post-356861 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 17:44:48 +0000 Rubies 356861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It freaks me out. LO is learning how to say no. SIGH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-am-i-an-octopus-i-only-have-2-arms#post-356853 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 17:36:50 +0000 matador84 356853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is hilarious! I used picframe to split screen a pic of LO in his bouncer at 3 days and the same bouncer now at 7 weeks and I can't even believe how "big" he is...he looks like a giant next to his 3 day old self! I think every day about how fast it goes by... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-am-i-an-octopus-i-only-have-2-arms#post-356841 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 17:29:26 +0000 mrbee 356841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Charlie said this to his daycare teacher today, when she asked him to clean up the room... I guess he was taking too long.</p> <p>Bee says he learned about octopi from a book she reads him, "The Pout Pout Fish." I have no idea where he got the phrase, "What am I, a ___?" We never say that around the house, to my knowledge!</p> <p>I have to say: I have recently been blown away by how fast the kids are growing up. Soon we will blink and they will be in college! Thank goodness... haha just kidding.</p> <p>Gosh I love our kids. I really have been hyper-aware lately that time is flying... it really makes you treasure each moment!</p> <p>Do you ever get amazed at how fast the kids are growing up? </p>
