What mommy says?

I have been curious what I sound like to my kids.  This week has been kind of rough with me having some uhm... monthly hormone shifts, not sleeping, and trying to get the house in some sort of order.  I wanted to know if there was any particular phrase or expression that really stood out to them.  I remember certain things my mom and dad used to say to me, and I know when I imitate my kids, there are certain keys words that I use.

So I asked. 

Peanut: "you say bla bla bla.  and babyP says 'no no no no no no no'".  It is hard not to read too far into that one.  I have a feeling that I sound like that to her sometimes.  I esepcially feel that way then I ask her to do something, and she completely ignores me.  When I asked her again, she said "flower pot".  I agreed with her.  I know I use that word all the time.  She can be such a stinker.

BabyP:  " I drive my bus.  Beep Beep".  (for those that may be curious, that is from a book called "My Car".)  I hear him imitate me a lot.  He always wants to take his keys and drive to the grocery store to get whatever items he thinks we need.  Most of the time he thinks we need apple juice, chocolate milk, and cheese for sissy.  I think that is a super sweet list because two of those items, he can't have.

So, not a lot a success with seeing what I say to them, but it was funny just the same.  I hope that I can capture some of these things for the future.  I think it would also be a good way to gauge my parenting and to ask for feedback from my kids to see if I need to maybe change my own tone.
