This is how we spend our Friday nights, confusing our two year old. As you can see we really live it up over here.

You guys are wild! Oh how times change once kids enter the picture. She is so sweet I’d rather spend Friday night with her eating pizza and watching a Disney movie than going out. Plus with kids comfy p.j.’s are always mandatory.

I would definitely prefer to spend Friday nights in comfy pjs instead of high heels!

I’m glad I’m not the only one who messes with their kid. On the bright side, you could have been teaching her worse things to say.

Teehee So cute. Isn’t it funny how we’ve all probably had similar conversations with a little one and we wonder why they think we’re nuts.

Ha! No kidding. These kids must think there parents have no clue what is going on.

But really, what’s the use of having kids if we can’t torture them? I’ve told Aura her name is Dora/Laura/Maura for years now. Always good for a nice solid scream.
We sometimes tease my oldest that her name is Dora since she looks like Dora. She always gets pissy about it. I think it’s quite entertaining.
That’s kind of mean but also very funny.

Don’t worry. She gets me back with her defiance for potty training.

She has an alias. How intriguing.
Oh and could she be any cuter? I think not…

I don’t think so either.

We do that all the time!
Things are more confusing here lately, because I heard my toddler say to her sister:
“I am your mother”..
By the way ‘layly’ is still so encredibly cute!
Mirjam recently posted..Wonder
Ha! Lately my toddler has been saying I’m the daughter and she is the mother.

I love that! And I’m even more impressed that she didn’t completely lose it on you guys and start screaming!! She was so cute and smiley the whole time!
My kids just don’t get when I’m messing with them. They lack a sense of humor, clearly.
Helene recently posted..Don’t mind me…I’m just mourning a fictional character
My oldest seems to be lacking in the sense of humor department lately. I’m not sure why but it really doesn’t stop me from messing with her.
This is hysterical. I had a conversation with a friend just this weekend about whether they could change the pronunciation of their son’s name. He’s 14 months. I voted no….

I would agree with you. I don’t think they should.

Bonus comment: I was just re-watching this again b/c I can’t get enough Layla and Cooper ran in the room, pointed to her on the monitor and said “want. that.” Hide yo kids, Coop is on the prowl for a toddler girlfriend apparently.
Elena recently posted..January Photo A Day
I think Coop-a-Loop and Blake are going to have to fight for Layla’s heart.

I’m pretty sure I could still mess with Hank this way and he is considerably older. Sounds more like a Saturday night for me. Friday night is reserved for having the kids fetch me things.
Poppy recently posted..Shit Hank Says
I need to get my kids better trained to fetch. Maybe we will work on it this Friday.

‘Layli’ 1 mommy and daddy 0. Cannot wait for second round, my money is on Layla…

Sounds like your money is in the right place.
Aren’t we supposed to mess with them?
No?
Oh.

She’s sooo cute. Was anyone else but me waiting for the glass beside her to get knocked off?
Boy, do I need to relax……

My favorite part of this debacle? Her tight comb back. I live slick baby head fresh from a bath. Regardless of her name.

That hair is the work of daddy after bath. He’s the pro of the baby comb back.
