Things moms say...

As a mom, do you ever stop and listen to the rule you are implementing to only think...did I really just say that? And mean it?? I have caught myself saying..."Please don't shoot babies", "Please don't hit in the face, body only", "Please don't shoot yourself in the eye", "Of course it's ok to hit daddy, just not girls", etc. When did these type of ludicrous things start coming out of my mouth?!? When I had a toddler that became obsessed with Toy Story! He basically runs around pretending to shoot from the pretend laser gun on his arm or makes something into a sword. The worst part is it is virtually impossible to not laugh, to the point of tears, when something goes down! Yesterday we were at Gymboree (where somehow he became the oldest child at the play gyms) when he was yelling about zurg and buzz and trying to shoot all the babies...hence "Please don't shoot babies" came into play. This is such a fantastic age and I'm loving the little caveman behaviour although it may be mortifying others around us!
