After spending 3 hours cleaning the carpets last night, I was exhausted. But thankfully my work didn’t go unnoticed.

From our bedroom this morning we overheard Morgan say:

“Look sissy! Daddy made a new carpet!”

When we asked Kendall (3), for the third time, to come to the dinner table she finally responded:

“Mom, I can’t. My legs won’t stop wiggling!”

We took the girls to the Circus for the first time today. In fact, it was my first time to the Circus! The girls were so excited to go and couldn’t stop talking about it until we finally left our house. We went about an hour early to see the elephants, horses, tigers, and zebras before the show began. We even spent 20 minutes on the Circus floor watching the “pre-show” with clowns, dog tricks, acrobats, and an elephant who could paint. The girls were getting pretty excited as we walked back to our seats for the show to begin.

“Morgan, are you excited for the Circus” my wife asked.

To which she replied, “What Circus mom?”

When my daughter accidentally hit her head against the wall, I asked her what she needed to make it feel better. Since we were just about to walk out the door to go to the Circus, I said, “I know! The circus will make it feel better.” But she said, “No, popcorn will make it feel better!”

At dinner tonight, Kendall turned to me and said:

“No dad, you’re big and I’m cute!”

I’ve never heard anything so true.

Whenever a new blog is started, it’s customary to start with introductions and a brief “blurb” about what the blog is all about.

Put simply, KinderQuotes.com began as a way that my wife and I could write down the often humorous things our children say on a day-to-day basis. We’re not that dedicated to writing in journals, but we wanted a way to remember the funny, embarrassing, and adorable things our girls said.

It’s often said that kids are like sponges, soaking up anything and everything around them. I’ve learned first hand that kids often pick up words, phrases, or actions from adults that we don’t even realize, but it’s fascinating and fun to watch them grow and develop - saying “adult” phrases even at 3 years old.

But we don’t want to keep all the fun to ourselves - we hope you’ll join us as we share these quotes with you. We’ve set up a contact form that will allow you to email us your funny, embarrassing, or adorable stories and quotes. And as fast as we can, we’ll post them on the blog so that everyone can enjoy!
