Strangers

I still find it surprising and great that our kids freely talk to adults without any hesitation. This morning I was outside walking around with our 5 year old daughter Bryce and 2 year old daughter Avery.  A random car was driving slowly down our street and Avery began waving and saying hello to the car.  Alarmed, Bryce, generally not our best rule follower, said, "Avery, we do not talk to strangers!".  Avery continued to wave and say, "Hello" and then looked at Bryce and said, "They are not STRANGERS, they are people!"

Medium

Darcy our 5 year old daughter has been using the word medium in sentences and I thought it would be fun to ask her what her definition of the word is.

Daddy, "Darcy, what does medium mean?"
Darcy, "It's not big, and not small -  it's medium."

No Pooping Zone.

Having 5 children 5 and under is very busy and fun.  Much of the children's humor centers around poop and the toilet.  Just saying "toilet" is funny for our 2 years old daughter Avery.  Last week I took the kids out for an "adventure", (which in our house is a walk around the block).  The kids are also very into signage and are always asking what things say.  On our walk, our 5 year old daughter Bryce saw a new sign on a lawn  and asked what it said.  I told her the sign said " NO POOPING ZONE" and had a picture of poop.  Bryce looked a little confused.  She looked up at me and said, "What if the dog can't read?"
