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?"

Daddy you dress nicely.

Friday night the family was on the way to synagogue.  I was undoing the seat belt of our 4 year old son Cooper when we arrived and he looked me up and down and said, "Daddy, you always dress nicely when we come to synagogue".  I said "thank you", and was surprised not ever thinking my son assesses the clothes I wear.  I had an epiphany and I said to Cooper, "If you like the shirt I am wearing I can buy the same for you and you can dress like me".  Cooper looked at me and said, " No thank you.  I want race cars on my shirt".
