Kids do and say some of the sweetest, silliest, funniest, and cutest things! Of course sometimes they say some embarrassing things as well! Have your kiddos ever done or said any things that you thought I would really LOVE to remember that?
That is exactly what this is. Chloe and I compiled a list of things that Lucian and Brooks have said or done that we really want to remember because it is so stinking cute, funny, sweet, or just plain silly!
