Literacy DUPLO play scape designed by Mike
Lily: Mama, I like you! I like Dada, Emma, and Johnny. And Legos. I LOVE Legos!
After being given two gummy bears as a reward:
Lily: But Mama! I wanted ONE gummy bear!
Mama: Oh, ok. Do you want to give the other one back?
Lily. Yes!
She returned the other gummy bear.
Lily, after a long monologue about polar bears, aliens, and other random topics:
And I have a mouth. Because I talk.
Overheard during a game:
Johnny: Do you want to go on a space ship?
Emma: Yes!
Johnny: Okay, then I have to get my foot phone (holds foot to ear) Hello?








I think Lily is the only two year old who does not have a monotonically increasing utility function with respect to gummy bears.

He had me laughing all night over that one! I still grin every time I think about it. Kids are wonderful!

They’re so funny, they should have their own talk show! I like what they did with the Lego blocks :)

These quotes make me laugh. Lily’s comment makes me think of an advertisment for lego.
A foot phone – the things they think of sure do keep us mummy’s smiling and laughing.

So funny that Lily only wanted ONE gummy bear. :-) I love the picture–in all the many years I spent playing with Duplos, I never thought of making words out of them.

This is one time where NOT growing up with Duplos may have worked to Mike’s advantage ;)

Lily would make a great Lego spokesperson. Great quotes!

How wonderful. Every so often I try to write down all the questions and comments that come my way and I haven’t done it in ages. You have given me just the motivation that I needed! I wonder if we have a foot phone around here?
[Reply]
Ha Ha! The things kids come up with…foot phone, that’s priceless. All the quotes are adorable!

I don’t think either of my kids have ever given a piece of candy back when I gave them the wrong amount! Too cute!

My favorite hands down is Lily, ‘because I have a mouth’. She is too smart, Mary Anne! Your kids are the best!
I remember when Joe used to make those duplo word scenes. He actually has a small Lego one in his room now that is a ‘name plate’ on the top of his bookshelf.
I hope you are having a good week. I just think you are the best, Mary Anne!

So cute and funny! I’m impressed she gave the gummy bear back! Nice lego design!!

Every time you post your kids comments, I think that I am going to start recording the adorable things my kids do….if I keep procrastinating they will be married by the time I start! Thanks for the great example!
