This one cracks me up. Strict big sister Charlotte trying to get reluctant Caroline to be with her for a picture.

Chase has been SOOOOOOO defiant lately, not like that’s anything new but it seems more severe now that he’s 3. It seems like everything throughout the day is a battle, especially any meal time, changing clothes time, sleep time, clean-up time, or coming inside from being outside. Hm, that’s most of the time. So it’s good for me to write down his funny quotes, because he really is a witty little guy and I want to try to focus on the positive with him right now! I know that everyone thinks their kids are funny, but it’s probably because kids really ARE SO funny!
FEBRUARY:
— (holding a cookie): “He says he wants to get in my tummy NOW!”
— (smelling an empty container) “It smells like car mud, and car oil.”
— (we were playing pretend) Me: “What planet are we going to, Chase?” Chase: To Spanish Fork, to see American Idol!”
— “I’m spinning like a carousel!” (high-pitched voice)
— “You’re not my prophet!” (yelled angrily at me, I had to try not to laugh)
— Me: “Chase do you want to read the Fish Out of Water book?” Chase: “No, Daddy doesn’t like that book. We need to sell it to someone.”
— (to me) “Hi Wifeys!”
–“Legendary.” (he heard this word on Kung Fu Panda)
— (asking about my diamond earrings) “Are those real?”
MARCH:
— (walked in the door with Pace) “Thanks for vacuuming, WIFE!”
— Sorry, dear.
— (he was singing to himself in the car) Me: “Would you like me to turn on some music, Chase?” Chase: “No thanks, I already have some.” (and then he continued his singing)
— “WHOA the back of your hair is so beauty-ful!” (my hair was curly)
— “Ohp, silly me.” (he says this a lot)
— (we were making pancakes and he wanted a turn to stir) “Oh, you’re good, you’re good. Let ME stir.”
— Me: “Your body needs cream. It says ‘I need cream'” (<high-pitched) Chase: (looking down at his body, speaking in high-pitched voice): “No, you don’t need cream, body.” (Looking back at me) “I don’t need cream.”
