Leighton asked me, "Does Santa Die?"
December 1st
We were talking about before Riley was born and before I was pregnant with her and Roy mentioned something about her being in my heart at that time. Riley said, "Well if I was in her heart, how did I eat?"
December 3rd
Riley kept thinking we were talking about Jack and the BeanBox not Jack and the BeanStalk.

Leighton had forgotten his library book for school earlier in the morning, and after school we were talking about it. Riley (who is a little obsessed with death and dead and dying right now) said, "If that ever happens again … and you forget your library book … and your parents die, don't worry, a superhero will come." It's a good thing that I didn't die though because I was the superhero and drove his book over to the school after his teacher called to tell me he had forgotten it!
December 4th
Riley and I were out running errands and she asked if I needed to go the bank machine. I realized it was a good idea to grab some cash, and it would help kill a few minutes before we needed to be at the school to get Leighton. It only took a minute, so I said something about how fast it was, and Riley said, "It was fast because you don't have much money!"
December 6th
Leighton called it 'mouth to mouth reservation' instead of mouth to mouth resuscitation.
December 12th
Roy found Riley's shoes when we were at the door getting ready to leave Lindsey and Charlie's, and Riley said, "Roy, Roy, Roy, you are me hero!"
December 14th
Today while Roy and I were doing yard work, the kids were collecting pecans that had fallen from the tree. Roy went over with them for a while and I wasn't paying attention, and then he came over to see me with Riley and told her to tell me why she had gone to get a bicycle helmet. Apparently a pecan fell out of the tree on her head, so she decided she should wear a helmet!
December 14th
We were on our way to a birthday party and Leighton said, "Instead of going to birthday parties, we should just have teleportation. You could send the present, they could send cake, you could send a note for more cake, and they could send the goodie bag."
December 22nd
Leighton made up this joke:
Where does a kangaroo and a bunny go on a date? IHOP!
December 22nd
Leighton made up this joke:
What do you plant at night? A bulb!
December 26th
My dad and Roy were both having a nap in the living room, and when my dad woke up, Riley said, "Papa, Daddy was being your little follower and napping too."
December 26th
We were at the zoo and and elephant made a loud noise. Riley said, "Was that an elephant trunking?!?!"
December 29th
We were talking about the virus that the kids had over the holidays, and Leighton says, "Virus? WE aren't a computer!"
December 29th
Leighton made up this joke:
What vegetable goes to jail the most? CELLery.
December 30th
I was talking about going to the gym, and Leighton said he wanted to come too so "You can work me out." I'd love to be able to work that kid out - he's a complicated fella!!!
December 30th
The kids and I were out for a walk and saw the Sesame Street characters that were part of the holiday light display at a neighbor's. Riley waved and them and said, "Hi Sesame!" We had to tell her that their names weren't Sesame! Apparently in all her TV watching, she has yet to watch much Sesame Street!
