“Let’s think of something else to do.”

“Shoes don’t belong there. Please go put them on the stairs.”

“Just ONE sip, Mommy.” (KT drinks half of my glass, wherever she finds it.)

“KT, GUESS WHAT?”
(This is always successful at diverting her attention from whatever she’s whining about. Followed up with whatever comes to my mind. Like, “We’re having CHICKEN for dinner! You like chicken, right!!”)

We’ve been having a terrible time getting them to stay in bed lately. :P

I think our #1 phrase is: “Leave the cat alone!” which can be used in conjunction with: “Put the cat down right NOW!”

If there was a form of sainthood for animals, mine should be honored for tolerating toddler handling (and humiliation) with longsuffering submission. LOL

First runner up: “Don’t push that button! Don’t click that!”

Because nothing is as frustrating as finding all your settings adjusted, or something missing, because they went on a clicking spree. :P

As in my girls saying: “Stop it Cyrus! Mom, Cyrus is hitting me with (insert dangerous object)! Give it back, Cyrus! Don’t ruin my (insert masterpiece) Cyrus!”

For some reason he’s always been “Mookie” so things have a tendency to be “Mooked up” in our house.

Fun!

Luke is not a dolly. Response: “I KNOW that Mama!”

USE YOUR WORDS! (to my 2-year-old)

“Hol Hol Hol” “Buh buh buh” – Colin wants to hold Luke and read a book.

I will proably think of others today – but here are a few!
