Priceless

I love the things my kids come up with:

Asia is trying to say so much right now. Her favourite word of the moment is 'No'. She doesn't say it in a belligerent or aggressive manner, or yell it, but she purses her cute little lips and and says "Noo OOoo", with a little inflection in the middle. It's very clear and unmistakable and has appeared far too soon. As I was holding her yesterday she, in her own gentle loving way gouged my eye as she said "Aeye", then poked my nose and said "Nooooo", then grabbed my hair and said "Hay'. James was standing nearby and I was curious what her answer would be as I asked "Where's Daddy's hair?". Without missing a beat, she reached across and patted his face :)

Last night as I was picking up clothes from the kids' bedroom floor, Bryttain told me she had seen a fly. Apparently it had 'told' her that it would like to be a part of our family as it didn't have a mummy or daddy of it's own...at least that was her story and she was sticking to it.

Arran had his own brilliant idea as we were driving home from Costco (also yesterday). He saw a 'No Smoking' sign and asked why it was there. As I explained about the health risks, and also expressed my undisguised disgust for smoking, he suggested "They should put no smoking signs over the WHOLE world!" He'd make a great future world leader, huh?!
