Kieran Says Fall 2016 Edition

Kieran continues to struggle with "r" sounds especially "ark" and "ore" words and often sounds like he has a Boston accident (think "pawk" instead of park, "bawk" instead of bark, "doi" instead of door, and "foi" instead of four). He also loves the show Peppa Pig which is set in England and he will use British words sometimes like saying we need to go to the "petrol station" or calling bandaids "plasters." I always laugh out loud when he comes up with a new one and I think he knows I find it hilarious. Another funny thing Kieran does is sleep with very unlikely bed companions. Most nights I sneak in to see what he's settled on for the night and often find it so funny I have to take a picture. Like any three year old, K comes up with some pretty funny things almost daily, here are a few of my recent favorites.

We were at Starbucks and Kieran said, very loudly, "hey Mom look at that guy" pointing to a guy with a really long grey beard,  "he looks like an elephant!!!"

Out of nowhere K stuck his hand down my shirt and announced "Mom I'm trying to reach your lollipop."

The boys were arguing about something and the Bug got super mad at Reed and reeled back to hit him. I yelled "Kieran do not push or hit your brother." Kieran then turns to me and nonchalantly asks  "how about kick?"

Kier isn't exactly known as being a tidy eater and his face was covered in mess after his snack. I jokingly asked "did you get any granola bar in your belly or is it all on your face?" to which he replied,  "no, some is in my butt!"

One night Reed was having a complete meltdown over not liking what I had prepared for dinner. K calmly turned to him and said "just go with the flow Reed."

I was hurrying to get out the door one morning and threw my bag on across my body as I rushed through the house. Kieran looked at me completely perplexed when I walked into his room and asked "where's your other boob?" Confused, I looked down to find the body part in question was a bit smashed down by the bag's strap.

For one of our Halloween celebrations Kieran wore a traditional (I believe Cambodian) outfit Nonna and Pepe had brought back from their travels. We told him he was dressed as a Cambodian Man but for some reason the only thing that stuck was the Man part. Then at the party he spilled juice onto the costume's top and immediately started yelling "I spilled juice on my manhood!!!"

When the Bug goes along with me on my runs I usually let him watch a show for about 20 minutes of the jog. For some reason on this particular day he didn't want his usual Peppa Pig or Super Why and started asking me to play the videos Grandma and Nonna show him. When I explained I wasn't sure which videos they show him, he exasperatedly told me "you just type in YouTube Mom!"

The other morning at breakfast Reed declared that he has 10 fingers. Kier looked down at his hands and slowly began counting his fingers. When he got to the last one he said "10, Reed we match!!!"
