Why we keep him

Some quotables from our son as of late:

"Me push grandpa in his wheelbarrow again?"

*****

When the sunlight gets in his eyes he shouts: "Mr. Sunshine MOVE!"

*****

"Almost done pooping mom!"

(one quick grunt)

"ALL DONE POOPING MOM!"

*****

His favorite song ever:

*****

First thing in the morning when I walk in his room:

"No poop in there mom. No poop.  No change the diaper."

*****

He drinks from the 'water mountain' at my office and puts his dishes in the 'sink washer' when he's done.  People ride on 'motorbikles' and when he wants to say 'everyone' it's 'every people.'

*****

While changing his diaper (finally):

"I smell something down there Mom. Stinky poop in there."

"Yes, yes it is. What does it smell like?"

"CHEWBACCA!"

*****

Upon spying his plastic Easter eggs in two seperate pieces: "Oh no!  Humpty Dumpty did it again!"

*****

Bryan the other night while giving him a bath: "Okay it's time to get out."

Theo: "Mommy has boobies!"

*****

Hour two out of four on our way back from Wisconsin:  "ROAARP. Oooh! Chocolate burp! YUMMY Oh look mommy a CRANE! A BIG one! Over dare!  ME WANT GRAVY MOMMY! GRAAAAVY!"

*****

I have a new post up at Craftastrophe.  Hey, if you've ever wondered what a sheep's skull + human hair + toile looks like then now is your chance.

OMG how cute!

Oh fun, I want to play!
Liam says "Poop in my pants, Mommy?" With a QUESTION MARK! And I'm all, yes, dear. I can smell.

Due to a weird baby conversation we had upon passing a marina on our recent trip to SC, we constantly say to each other (all 3 of us): "YOU go sit on a boat. Right. Now." Liam's version is the best. I shall post video soon enough.

Liam says "Go AWAY, Sun!" And then squeezes his eyes shut.

The grandpa-wheelbarrow comment is just TOO preshus.

So cute. We have a whole Word document full of sayings that my son said when he was that age. They're little characters for sure.

And yes, I think it's a self-preservation mechanism that has been built in to combat the "other" traits that emerge at this age. :)

He is the sweetest thing ever.

Oh no, Humpty Dumpty did it again? Priceless!

[Wendy]

Cute. Who doesn't want gravy?

[Kelley @ Magnetoboldtoo]

you know it is a cunning plan on our childrens part to make us die from the cuteness so they can eat all the icecream they want.

True story.

I've been away from blogland for a bit, so I have some catching up to do - but GIRL, he is talking a BLUE STREAK compared to my kid! We're still stuck in random word land over here...and usually only I can understand him :)
He's so stinking adorable, I just want to mash his cheeks together and stare into this big eyes!

"Theo: "Mommy has boobies!!"

Oh man, I think I love this kid. My favorites?

"He drinks from the 'water mountain' at my office and puts his dishes in the 'sink washer' when he's done. People ride on 'motorbikles' and when he wants to say 'everyone' it's 'every people.'

He's awesome.
