The Carey's: Time Outs!

Time Outs!

So, I know I'm not the only one who has done this...but this is a first for me! Cole had gotten into trouble for hitting his sister and I sent him into timeout! We always send him to the same corner by our couch. Well, most of the time I let him out after 3 minutes, but this time I was making dinner and then Kenny called. Needless to say I got to talking to Kenny and time went by. It wasn't until Kenny asked if the kids had been good that it dawned on me, Cole was still in timeout! I would say about 15 minutes had past. I went to the corner to let him out and this is what I found....

Yes- I know...I'm a bad mom:) Oh well, at least he got a nap in that day!

5 Year Old Coleisms

This one's not as funny as the rest- but I wanted to add it as it will probably be the last 5 yr old Coleism. Cole was reminding me of his birthday coming up next week. We were just laying in my bed watching tv and snuggling and he said, "I can't be your little monkey anymore when I am 6." It was so matter-of-fact that I think it was his way of letting me know that he's growing up into a big boy. Sad. He did, however, let me know that, "Logan can be your new monkey!" I think he was just trying to soften the blow. ___________________________ I was listening to the song With or Without You and there is the part where it says, " and you give yourself away." Well, after the song is over Cole says, "Do you know how you give yourself away?" Of course at this point I say, "What?" And he repeats, " Do you know how you give yourself away...you just ask someone if you can be a part of their family." (Very matter-of-factly!) I paused.. realized where it came from.. laughed.. and said, "Wow Cole, you are very smart!" Obviously I need to stop telling him I'm going to give him away:) ___________________________Cole has a huge stuffed Winnie the Pooh. So big, he wrestles it all the time. It was in my bedroom when I noticed that it had a large tear in it's armpit. Me: Cole, go put Pooh Bear in the office room so Mommy can remember to sew him up. Cole: I don't want you to sew him up. Me: Why? Cole: Because I'm gonna find his heart. If that's not a future surgeon I don't know what is!

4 Year Old Coleisms

Here are the new crazy things that come out of this boy's mouth!

___________________________

Cole: Mom, how old is Jesus?

Missy: Ummmm...(trying to do the math)

Cole: Oh ya, he must be in his sixties!"

___________________________

We were walking towards the school to pick up the girls and out of nowhere Cole asks, "Mom, is Daddy old enough to be at home alone?"

Playing on the humor I answered, "Sometimes."

__________________________

Cole and I were looking at baby clothes and I mention how cute I thought a little dress was. Being very observant Cole said, "We can have a little girl, you just need to eat alot."

If it were only that easy:)

___________________________

Cole came in from playing outside- walked up to Maddie and said:

ARGH- Maddie, I can't get the wedgie out that you gave me!

_________________________

We had just left a friend's house who has a little baby.

I asked Cole if he had tried to feed the baby anything (long story) and he simply said:

No, babies don't have teeth, just like Grandmas and Grandpas!

_________________________

Cole came walking into the house looking sad:

Me: What's the matter Cole?

Cole: Katie won't let me on the trampoline!

Me: Oh, I'm sorry, why?

Cole: Because she's a weirdo!

Coleisms

(Quotes of a 3 year old)

Cole and I were waiting in the hallway of the hospital for Kenny so we could go to lunch.

A nurse walked by pushing a soldier on a gurney. (The soldier was hurt, a few tubes going in him, but other then that fine.)

As they past Cole (very loudly and matter of factly) announced: "HE'S DEAD!"

________________________________________

I was picking up the living room and asked Cole to start helping me.

He simply said: "Why, you already started doing it!"

____________________________________________

Kenny was in a dressing room trying on clothes and Cole went with him. There were pins on the ground from some of the dress shirts and Cole started playing with them.

Kenny: Cole don't play with those or they will poke you.

Cole: Ya, and then all my air would go out.

Setting: The kids are painting in the dinning room.

(This is what I over heard.)

Maddie: Cole stop mixing the colors together.

Katie: Cole, your mixing!

Maddie: Cole! Stop mixing or I'm telling mom!

Katie: Stop mixing Cole! You can't paint if you mix!

Cole: HOW BOUT I MIX IT ON YOUR FACE!!!!!

(wow- so glad I missed out on that whole brother thing:))

____________________________________________

Cole (to me): Hey, where is she?

Missy: Where's who?

Cole: That blond haired girl.

Missy: You mean Katie- your sister.

Cole: Ya, that one.
