Have you been spying on my house? I joke that DD hasn't stopped talking (or making random noises) since she was born. She is either talking about something really important like the fact that frogs like to jump which I have to hear about right at that moment, or she is making random noises because she just can't think of anything else to say. Sometimes it is just la,la, la, la, la for a while until she can think of something else. She even has full conversations in her sleep.
One good thing about that though is that I know if she is up to something or is really hurt. Suddenly the house is quiet and I mean pre-kids quiet. I have to go see what is going on. Usually, she is trying to sneak candy before dinner or is up to something else sneaky.
OMG! They could be twins! I know what you mean about having to tell you about it right then and there and usually it takes 20 minutes for them to explain seeing frogs jume, lol. I remember saying to my husband, "when is she going to say mommy?" He told me to write this day down on the calendar, lol He was so right, the minute she started saying it, she hasn't stopped. I love her to death, but I tell her quite is a good thing sometimes. My husband and I came up with the 5 minute rule, if she has what I call diarhea of the mouth, (I don't say this to her) the 5 minute rule goes into effect. She can't say anything for that amount of time.
Ther eerie quite? Yep, know what you're talking about
The oldest loves to say "Mooommm I knooowwww" to everything I say. She's 12.
The youngest wants to use the potty in every store we go to even if it is 5 minutes from the library to the grocery store. She's 3
DD6 does the same potty thing. I have seen every bathroom in the entire county several times. I even got into the habit of asking her if she needs to go when we are near the bathroom, but she never needs to go then. She only needs to go when we are on the opposite corner of the store. She is finally getting a bit better about it, but that may be because I started saying "I asked you when we were near the bathrooms, so now you will have to wait." We can be walking down a stirp center wallking from store to store and she has to go in every one of them.

We have the 5 minute rule here too. Unfortunately, it is almost like she can't control it and we can rarely make it the entire 5 minutes.

I feel you I can see the look on my daughters face when she can't talk, lol She just can't take it.
Now that my son is a teen and more interested in his looks, he has become quite the prince on what products he needs to shower and so forth. He simply has to have two different types of shampoo. One to clarify his hair once a week and another for the rest. He also feels that Axe body spray is a definite must. He doesn't really care for bar soap and would prefer shower gel. He needs specific face wash and acne treatments. They have to be a specific kind. He goes through towels like he lives in a hotel. He needs breath mints in his backpack and swears this is crucial. A few years ago I was worried about him because his hygiene was awful. Be careful of what you wish for. I don't mind getting him the right products and so forth. He is a teenager, he has oily skin and hair so I get it. He needs certain stuff but he goes through it like crazy. I can just visualize him in the shower squirting half the bottle of shampoo in his hand thinking "heck I don't pay for it!"
You got it 100% and this is my third time around. You?
the girls are 9 the boy is almost 7.
