Our kids love to measure things. The only problem is that they don't feel a need to use any sort of consistent unit of measurement. They will measure how much milk they have in a glass and decide that it is eight. This will be twice the amount that a sibling might have which they labeled as a six.
Then there is when we talk about emotions and JJ is angry 100 times. Or we want it really bad like 1000 times. What is funny is when I hear myself or my husband respond in kind like you need to do your chores it is 100 times important.

We also find ourselves using phrases the kids have made up; Noah made up a few words when he was 4 that are still in regular circulation around here. Lately my twins have been using "percent" a lot. As in, "I like burritos 90%, but I like mashed potatoes 100%!" And, "Mom, I love you 100%, but I love Jesus 1,000%." Pretty sweet.
And I love that picture of JJ and the MnM's... so cute!
