Sweet Snippets of Motherhood

Ear Cut

2012-02-01T19:07:00.001-08:00

Noticing the hole in my ear, he asked "Mama, who cut your ear?"

His Question

2012-01-30T17:28:00.000-08:00

Walking out of the house to go to his preschool, Krisna asked me "Mama, are you giving me to the Papa?"

M&M

2012-01-29T20:08:00.000-08:00

Mama, I love RED M&M! And the green ones too.

Looking at his M&M, "Mama, there's an "m" on it."

Waiting for Candies

2012-01-28T21:56:00.001-08:00

At another birthday party today--this time, he hit the pinata once but refused to do it again. When I asked him if he wants to hit it again, he said "no, I'm waiting for the candies." He was also concerned that we were sitting too far away to get the candy when the pinata breaks, but I told him I was a fast runner and he believed me...

I'm Cold

2012-01-27T11:07:00.001-08:00

He woke up in the middle of the night and told me "I'm cold; I want the hot poy", referring to my goose down blanket so I shared it with him and we snuggled the cold away...

One More

2012-01-26T22:42:00.001-08:00

Krisna: Mama, can we watch one more?
Mama: Yes, we can watch one more.
Krisna: Mama, did you say we can watch two?
Mama: No, I said ONE more!

Yes, I Do

2012-01-25T19:10:00.000-08:00

Krisna: Mama, do you give me time out because you love me?
Mama: Yes, I do.
Krisna: Mama, do you give me time out so I can behave properly?
Mama: Yes, I do.

No School

2012-01-23T12:51:00.000-08:00

My sweetheart is already making excuse about not going to school. When we got to school, it rains really hard and I made a comment about my umbrella and he said, "you have to go back home to get your umbrella...." When we got in, no one was in yet so he said, "no school today, it's raining day"... lol

Are You Ready?

2012-01-21T18:45:00.000-08:00

He woke up this morning and asked me, "Are you the love of my love?" For now, I am.

We were leaving the house so I told him to wait and when I'm ready, I will call him. Three second later, he comes over to ask, "Are you ready to call me yet."

Sweet Excuses

2012-01-20T23:47:00.000-08:00

Krisna and I have a new goal, to eat our lunch and dinner together at the dining table. He makes so many excuses and reasons to get out of his chair:

Krisna: Mama, I want to hug.
Mama: After you finish you dinner, we can hug.
Krisna: I want a kiss.
Mama: After you finish your dinner, you can kiss me.
Krisna: I want to sit on you.
Mama: After you finish your dinner, then you can sit on my lap, hug me and kiss me.

Thomas' Eye

2012-01-19T19:40:00.000-08:00

He was doing his puzzle and there was one piece missing and he asked me, "Mama, can you make your magic and bring Thomas' eye back?" Luckily, I saw the piece hanging on his bike so magic happened and the missing piece came back.

Eating at School

2012-01-18T19:42:00.000-08:00

Mama: Did you have fun at school?
Krisna: Uh-ha.
Mama: Did you eat chicken and rice?
Krisna: Yes.
Mama: All of it?
Krisna: No, I don't.
Mama: Did you like it?
Krisna: No, I don't.
Mama: Do you like Mama's cooking better?
Krisna: Yes.

My sweet boy!!!

Conflicted about Preschool

2012-01-17T19:59:00.000-08:00

Krisna can't seem to make up his mind about school. One moment, he looks forward to going and the next, he tells me he doesn't want to go. When I picked him up, they said he was fine. He had fun but last night, his dad told me he had nightmare about going to school, talking in his sleep, saying "Mama, don't leave me." My poor baby!!! This is only three hour and a half... soon enough, he will have to be there all day. I met a lady who used to work as a preschool teacher and she told me, it is harder on the parents than the kid. She said that most kid stopped crying the moment the parent is out of sight, run around enjoying themselves. It seemed to be the case with Krisna.

Krisna's Blue Bike

2012-01-16T10:50:00.000-08:00

Krisna: Mama, are you happy?
Mama: Yes, I am.
Krisna: Mama, is Krisna, Happy?
Mama: Yes, you are.
Krisna: Mama, can you spell my blue bike.
Mama: B-L-U-E B-I-K-E. Blue bike.
Krisna: Mama, can you spell, Krisna's blue bike.
Mama: K-R-I-S-N-A B-L-U-E B-I-K-E. Krisna's Blue bike.

Since he has been riding his blue bike at grandma's house, he is finally pedaling his diego bike inside the house. He told me, my blue bike is for outside and my green bike is for riding inside.

I Hope YES

2012-01-15T21:13:00.000-08:00

Krisna: Mama, did I poop in my diaper?
Mama: I hope NOT!
Krisna: I hope YES!

Krisna: Mama, can I play with my puzzles? Am I older yet?
Mama: Yes, you can play with it. You get older everyday.
Krisna: Is Mama, getting older everyday with Krisna?
Mama: Yes, I am.

Booger Baby

2012-01-13T16:39:00.000-08:00

I called Krisna booger sometime and told him I made him from my booger. Well, this morning, he asked me, "Mama, are you making another baby from your booger?" If only, it was that easy...

He didn't want to get his pants wet and dirty at the beach so he took it off and tried to run around naked. I told him it wasn't a nude beach and the man next to us laughed.

Two Sunny Days

2012-01-12T20:10:00.000-08:00

Krisna draws two suns and told me, "Mama, it's two sunny days."

Walking past a neighbor that was smoking, Krisna coughed and he told me, "Mama, the smoke makes me sick. Does it make you sick?" Well, baby, it makes everybody sick.

Official Preschool

2012-01-11T17:42:00.000-08:00

He's officially in a preschool, not the hour and a half, two day a week preschool at El Dorado. That was fun too but I was paying $80 a month. He's with Headstart so it's free and he's there Monday to Thursday from 12:30 to 4:00pm. He had a good day and said he wants to go back. He told me he rode a bike, the long red one and at lunch, he did not drink his milk. He told me he ate pizza but I have to check with the teacher or his menu later. Sometimes, he tells me about food that he ate a few days ago or food he preferred to eat instead of what he actually ate. He does this all the time when I asked what he ate at the Papa's house. He would say ice cream or chocolate.

Since yesterday, he keeps asking me, "Mama, is my school on Willow." Yes, it is.

Time Out Mama

2012-01-10T20:07:00.000-08:00

I spilled some juice and he asked me, "Mama, do you need time out?" I asked if he was going to give me and time out and he said "No, Mama, don't need time out and I don't neither."

I was getting him some puddy and he asked "Is that for Krisna? Are you getting it for your baby?" Such emphasis... :)

Something Black

2012-01-09T19:43:00.001-08:00

Krisna: Mama, I want something black.
Mama: Something black? What could it be?
Krisna: Is it chocolate?
Mama: No, it's not chocolate. I think you want blackberry.
Krisna: No, I don't. I want chocolate.

Cats and Dogs

2012-01-08T15:15:00.000-08:00

Krisna: Mama, whose rock is this?
Mama: Mine.
Krisna: May I touch it?
Mama: Yes.
Krisna: May I hold it?
Mama: Yes.
Krisna: Who does it belong to? Does it belong to the other rock?
Mama: No, it belongs to me. They both do.

An hour later, he asked me if it was raining cats and dogs. I told him to look outside and see if there are any cats and dogs out there. We looked toward the window and there was a cat looking in at us through the window. I screamed and Krisna laughed. "Mama, is that cat looking at us?"

Apparently, it rains a cat but no dog.

Right Now

2012-01-07T22:10:00.000-08:00

After 8 plus hours spent at Maximus' birthday party, it was still not enough for Krisna. When we got home, I realized we forgot his jacket and he told me, "we need to go back and get it right now."

His Great Discovery

2012-01-06T21:24:00.000-08:00

Krisna: Mama, can you put your hands down so I can sleep on it.
Mama: Ok.
Krisna: MAMA, YOUR HAND, IS LIKE A PILLOW.

That Krisna

2012-01-05T21:25:00.000-08:00

Krisna: Mama, I want chips.
Mama: It's all gone.
Krisna: Who ate all the chips?
Mama: Krisna.
Krisna: Who ate all the blue chips?
Mama: Krisna.
Krisna: Who ate all the green chips?
Mama: Krisna.
Krisna: (Pointing to me) Is it that Krisna?

Hiro

2012-01-04T20:56:00.000-08:00

He has been asking for Hiro, a train from Thomas and Friend movie. I said for you birthday and he said Okay. When he realized Maximus' birthday was coming up, he suggested that we buy Hiro for Maximus.
