Things They Say II

Our first quote is from our littlest one
(He first started talking about this one day when he was over at Sam's house)

C: You have a baby in your belwy.

Mommy: Yes I do

C: It's getting big, you have a big belwy like this! 

(Putting his hands together over his head in a circle)

Mommy: I guess I do because the baby is growing.

Do you know where babies come from? 

C: Yup your belwy!

Mommy: You're right but do you know how the baby got there?

(Now enticing him to repeat what he told M at Sam's house.)

C: Yup! If you're good and eat all your food you get a special surprise!! 

Mommy: A special surprise??

C: Um yeah a special surprise for all of your food! 

Mommy: What special surprise is that? 

C: Um a baby! 

Mommy: A baby? 

C: Yup a baby in your belwy!! 

He then went on to tell me stories about 

"The three little piggies and the Dragon!"

(We got it on video)

He is so sweet and precious. 

Somehow he connected us telling the boys 

that if they eat all their food they get a special 

treat/surprise after dinner to mommy having a baby! 

After a trip to the Hospital  G said this:

G: I'm looking for the words.
Daddy: Looking for what words?
G: The words that mean "Hostipal"
Daddy: You mean Hospital?
G: Yeah I don't know how to say that
so I just want to say Urgent Care because "Hostipal"
is a hard word to say!
Daddy: Just practice say "HOS-PI-TAL"
G: I CAN'T it's just the place you go see doctors okay!?!?
I can't find the place where my doctors is so I'm just going to call it
Urgent care okay?
Daddy: Okay bud, Okay.

After Mommy fell and hurt her ankle C said:

Daddy: What happened? Do you know what happened?
C: Um yeah mommy fell coming to help me swing!
Daddy: She did?
C: Um yeah You gotta practice Mommy!!
Mommy: I need to practice?
C: Yeah you got ta practice so you don't fall down
and get hurt!  You gotta put your arms out like this
(he put his arms straight out to the side)
it helps you not fall over!!
Mommy: Okay I'll practice and be more careful.
C: YEAH MOMMY YOU GOT TO BE MORE  CAREFUL!!!

Nothing like being lectured by a 3 year old on how
NOT to fall down at the playground!

On a different night the boys had us both cracking up!!
Daddy had started a little bit of a bad habit with the boys.
If the boys were hungry he would give them snacks in bed!!
Mommy found out about this and was okay with it but
she asked him to not give them apple slices because she didn't want
them to choke while eating them in bed.
(Now you have some background to the conversation.)

C: DADDY!!! I WANT A COLD COCOA!!
(yelling from their room to ours)
Daddy: NOT IN BED BUD!
G: (quietly) Daddy, I"m hungry can I have a snack?
Daddy: (didn't hear him)......
G: Daddy? Are you there?
C: G you don't do it like that you say it like 'dis:
DADDY!!!!!!!
G IS HUNGRY!!!!!
CAN WE HAVE A SNACK!?!?!
Daddy: WHAT!?!?!
C: G IS HUUUNGRAAAAY!!
G: CCCCC!! Let me do it!!
(louder but not as loud as C)
Daddy I'm hungry can we have snack!?
Mommy and Daddy: CRACKING UP at the yelling back and forth.
Daddy: WHAT DO YOU WANT?!?!
G: Um apple slices?
Daddy: WHAT YOU WANT APPLE SLICES!?!?
G: Um yeah.
Daddy: OKAY I"LL GO GET YOU SOME APPLE SLICES!!
Mommy: Ummm noooo not in bed!
Daddy: Oh you're right.
WHAT ABOUT GRAPES BOYS!?!?
Boys: YEAH!!
(goes and get grapes, gives them to the boys and goes back to bed)
C: DAAADAAAAY!!!! THESE ARE NOT APPLE SLICES!!
Daddy: MOMMY DOESN"T WANT YOU TO HAVE APPLE SLICES
IN BED BECAUSE YOU MIGHT CHOKE!!
C: I WON"T CHOKE!!
Daddy: EAT YOUR GRAPES BUD!!
C: YOU DIDN"T CUT THEM!!!
Daddy: What? Have you started slicing their grapes?
Mommy: No, but they do in Nursery.
Daddy: Oh geeze.
(Gets up to go to the boys' room)
Mommy: Don't just tell him to eat them!
Daddy: I'll be back...
What's the matter?!?
C: You didn't cut them up.
Daddy: How am I supposed to cut them up?
C: You're supposed to slice them.
Daddy: Okay but with what?
C: A SLICER!!
Daddy: A slicer? Where do I get a slicer!?!
C: A GRAPE SLICER IN OHIO!!!
Daddy: A grape slicer in OHIO!?!
C: YES YOU USE IT TO SLICE THE GRAPES!
Daddy: (laughing) Okay bud!
(Goes down stairs to slice the grapes, drops off the now sliced grapes and goes back to bed)
Mommy: What happened?
Daddy: I went downstairs and sliced the grapes with our "grape slicer from Ohio"
Mommy: Our WHAT!?! (laughing)
Daddy: Our "Grape slicer from Ohio!!"
Mommy: BAHAHA where does he get these things from!?!
I didn't expect you to go all the way downstairs!!
I thought you'd just bite them all in half and put them back in the bowl!!
Daddy: But I had to use the special Ohio grape slicer!!
Mommy: Okay good night!
......
.....
.....
 C: DADDAAAAAY!!! YOU MISSED ONE!!
Mommy: They aren't asleep yet!?!?
Daddy: I guess not and I guess I missed one!
Mommy: Just go bite it in half and tell them to GO TO SLEEP!!

(Ohio family and friends is he talking about something we aren't aware of??
A special grape slicer only made in/from Ohio!?!?)
Silly little boys!
(They have a really good, patient, understanding, and attentive daddy!!)
