Charlotte, Charlie, Charles

 Alright it's time for part one of the series everyone has been waiting for....Charlie-isms. If you are not aware, I have a three year old, Charlie. Charlie is sassy, incredibly smart, loving, charismatic, and what is going to make this the most fun, hilarious. She looks very sweet and innocent (as seen below) but she can really throw out some zingers. Whenever people come up to me and say things like "Haha you'll never believe what Charlie just said," I beg to differ. At this point I have come to expect the unexpected. She says the darndest things at the darndest times and I wouldn't change it for the world. Read below for just a tiny bit of the humor we experience everyday. 


I made dinner one night about two weeks before Christmas. We went to sit down at the table and when Charlie pulled out her chair it fell backwards.

Charlie: “Oh no! Christmas dinner….it’s ruined!”


Bowling and Charlie gets a gutter ball. 

Charlie: (stomps her foot) Oh Dammit!


Me: Charlie you’re not listening,

Charlie: Yeah I didn’t listen when I was walking down the street with my daughters. 


Charlie looks at Jacob proudly.

Charlie: Daddy! Your belly is getting so big!


Putting Charlie in the bath

Charlie: Look at my stinky little butt!


Throws a complete fit in Old Navy.

Me: You cannot run away because you’re upset, that’s not safe

Charlie: But mamaw does it when she was mad in Old Navy

Me: Mamaw ran away in Old Navy?

Charlie: Yeah Papaw was chasing her but she was just hungry

Me: Oh yeah?

Charlie: Yeah I think I was upset because I need a snack


Jacob: “hey Charlie who is that”

Charlie: “just some kids and baby Jesus”

Jacob: “do you remember the story about baby Jesus? Can you tell us?”

Charlie: “yeah I was baby Jesus when I was little”


Charlie picks up the thermometer and puts it up to her forehead.

Charlie: I’m 50 years old!


In the middle of dinner

Charlie: "Daddy, you look icky."


Conversation while I was taking Charlie to school...

Charlie: look mommy there’s Santa!

Me: hi Santa

Charlie: he likes beer 


Charlie picks up a Dopey figurine

Charlie: Look mommy, it’s princess Jasmine!


*Charlie was rolling Emma across the floor back to belly

Me: Charlie please stop rolling your sister

Charlie: But she’s like a ball mommy


*Charlie playing with the dogs

Me: Charlie please don’t lay on Indy like that he doesn’t like it

Charlie: I was a puppy when I was little and I liked that


Me: Hey go give your sister back her blanket

Charlie: (walks over to Emma) Here ya go dude!


Me: Charlie go get a pull up please it’s bedtime

Charlie: yeah you’re right man


Jacob: (looks at watch) we’re gonna be late hurry up

Charlie: (looks at wrist and holds it up so Jacob can see) We already are! 


Charlie: Emma is so happy!

Me: yeah she is, are you happy?

Charlie: I guess so


Me: Here, do you want these teddy grahams?

Charlie: No, those make me angry. 


Lady in the dollar store is so nice and gives Charlie a dollar to get a toy. 

Charlie: Thanks for my 20 bucks!


Charlie: (whispering) Daddy, I have to show you something

Jacob: What is it?

Charlie: (still whispering) my treasures! (opens a small wooden box and shows Jacob all of the slices of ham she has been collecting from her lunchables)


Don't worry guys, I am very aware that my child is funnier than me and you will now only be reading for Charlie content from here on out. I will do my best to document the funny things that she says.

Tummy Time

Image
  If you pay attention to what you read on the internet or to the marketing geniuses, I am sure you think tummy time is the end all be all of good newborn parenting. Let me tell you a secret, I didn’t do it and my kids are just fine. No floppy necks, not late bloomers, they’re perfectly normal (physically lol) children. Tummy time was never easy for us. My first would just fall asleep if we tried tummy time and my second would scream. So I just didn’t do it.  Now obviously don’t take my advice over your pediatricians advice please, I am not a doctor. I’m just telling you that there are other ways of strengthening your babies neck and a lot of it I think they do on their own. Tummy time is a pretty recent thing parents have been told to do but you don’t see a whole lot of old people out their struggling to hold their heads up.  Let's talk ways to avoid tummy time but still ensure your baby is building those muscles. My personal favorite is sitting them on my lap facing me....

Should You Buy It?

Image
  Alright moms, is anyone else tired of reading reviews online that are vague or claim you'll use this item all the time but you get it at your baby shower and then don't touch it? Yeah, same. I always want to know the real life situations. All bottles say they're easy to clean and have the perfect flow and blah blah blah. I want to hear from moms like me what isn't a complete waste of money. So far, these are my favorites.  1. Baby Merlin Sleep Suit   https://amzn.to/3A4nvyK I truly do not know what kind of magic they put in this sleep suit but I think it saved my life. For reference, neither of my children liked to sleep as babies. I wish I had discovered this with Charlie because she only slept 2-3 hours a time at most until she was 9 months old. Emma is quickly following in her footsteps and let me tell ya, I am TIRED. So I did what anyone would do and made a quick google search that led me to sleep training but I am weak and can't bring myself to sleep train. N...

Mom Cozy or Willow?

Image
                          The world of wearable breast pumps is way more intense than I ever knew. People are very invested in their pump and it's kind of culty if I am being honest. Willow people think theres no option but the Willow, Elvie people only talk crap about the Willow, and Mom Cozy people just want to save a buck. (Hey don't be offended that was me too) So price wise the Mom Cozy is by far the most affordable. One pump is about $75 on Amazon so a set would run you about $150. This is for the S12, newer pump. The Willow and the Elvie both run between 400-500 depending on the promotions going on at the time.  Before this last week I would have told you hands down to get the Mom Cozy and not to even think about the other two. The Mom Cozy worked for me from October until now with very minimal issues. Now I will say this should not be your all the time pump. I have an at home pump that I use for fully emp...
