Oscar: I want to live in a different town.
Me: Oh yeah? What town do you want to live in?
Oscar: 4B
I am on the train. I am going to work. I am a lawyer. I am a puppy lawyer.

I’m in the ambulance. I got sick. I have a beaver!

I eat Play-doh. I’m not lying. I need to go to the doctor.

Boys: Where’s dad?
Me: Dad’s at work early today. He has a big day today [big deposition].
Boys: Daddy has a big day today! Mommy has a little day.
I wanna go on the warpath!

Josh arrived home yesterday evening just as Oscar finished pooping in the big toilet for the second time ever. Oren ran to the door screaming “Daddy Daddy HEEE DID IT!” He was so excited for his brother’s big moment!
As you know, the boys call their baby class “Toddlers in Lotion” instead of “Toddlers in Motion.” Yesterday Oren further mutated the joke, calling it “Toddlers in Butt Cream.” Awesome joke by the inventor of “pee pee sir” (aye aye sir’s potty-themed cousin)!
What kind of animal is your favorite, mom?
– Give me a good answer for Oscar!
I was shown up at the science museum today. At the frog terrarium, Oren told me that frogs don’t drink water. “Don’t be silly!” I said. “Of course frogs drink water.” But Josh explained that no, they don’t, they absorb it through their skin. Internet confirms. Schooled by a 28 month-old. Thanks, PBS.
