Gotta Document So I Neva' Forget

Thought I would share a couple of gems out of the mouths of my babes:

We are trying to get Tel to do his own wiping after using the restroom; he is almost 5 and will start Kindergarten next year.

When Dax realized he would be continuing piano lessons, football, swimming in the summer, Cub Scouts, and now wrestling he was upset stating "I have NO free time, I need to cut something out". I said "you bet, no more football it is". His obvious reply was "I was thinking no more piano". Duh! I knew what he wanted to nix but piano is non-negotiable.
