The words a mother hates to hear most.  You associate them with “not so fun” things in the middle of the night….messes….cleanup…and worst…smell.

 However, this morning, Claire said this to me while eating her nice bowl of cheerios, bananas and milk.  The conversation went like this:

Claire:  ”Mommy, my tummy hurts!”. 

Me:  Oh Claire, I’m sorry, why?

Claire:  Well, it gots lots of cereals in it?

Me:  Your tummy hurts because you ate your breakfast?

Claire:  There is LOTS of Cereals in it.

Me:  Are you finished?

Claire:  No, there’s still cereals in my bowl.

Me:  Ok.

Claire:  “munch munch munch”.  I can be done Mommy?

Me:  Drink your milk

Claire: “slurp (as she drinks the milk from the bowl)”.  Can I watch Sesame now?

Me: Sure.

Madeline: WHAAAAAAAAA, adua, mmmm (as she eats her cheerios).

I guess this goes to show that this phrase can’t be all bad.  Maybe a little funny even!

Today is the big combined birthday party between Claire, Nora & Kyle.  It should be a blast!  Pray for a great day and NO RAIN!
