I Knew It Was Coming.....

The following words came out of my mouth this afternoon: "Nooo, we don't eat dirt!!!!"

I've been letting Lilly walk around the car and climb up the two steps into the house when I pick her up after school. Today was really warm so I set her down and went out to check the mail and bring in the garbage can. The driveway was mostly dry so I just let her run around. She followed me out toward the mailbox, stepped off the driveway and fell directly into a mud puddle. Nice. So I walked her inside, stripped off the muddy stuff and took her in to clean her up and put on dry clothes. Then we proceded back outside to go for a walk and get some much-needed fresh air. When we came in, her muddy shoes were still by the back door. I sat down on the couch and, not two seconds later, she came running to me holding a muddy shoe with dirt in her mouth!

So this got me to thinking about all the other unbelievable things one might find herself saying as a mom. Like, I know I've said, "Noooo, we don't poo-poo in the bath tub!" And "Nooo, we don't play in the toilet!" I was wondering if anyone remembers saying anything unbelievable like this. Maybe it could be like a preface as to what might be coming to me as Lilly enters her "terrible twos." I can only imagine what I have coming to me!

Feel free to leave me a comment as to what things I might be saying to Lilly some day. Even if you aren't a mom, I'm sure you can take a guess.
