So William said something particularly funny this evening and Mike said, "we'd better start writing these things down before we forget them" and I realized I keep a list of these things to put in this blog. However... it has been a while since I've blogged. Luckily my list is still up and I've been keeping track... so here are a few of William's latest gems:
1. Breatist - this is how he currently pronounces breakfast unless I make him slow down and say it properly.
2. Renember - his current pronunciation of remember
3. Magnec - this is how he says Magnet
4. "But the doctor said I didn't have to nap... just have quiet time" - his response to my telling him to lie down and try to nap. Why on earth did I inform him that his pediatrician said that even if he doesn't nap, he needs to be laying down quietly for at least an hour each day?
5. "I think you should get me that for my birthday" - said about nearly every toy he sees, now that he has clued in that there's something BESIDES Christmas where he gets presents.
6. "Hallie's coming over? I'm glad... she's beautiful and wears beautiful clothes" - his response to my telling him we're having a playdate with his friend Hallie. Good lord, it starts early doesn't it?
7. "Don't bother me... I'm pooping" - shouted through the door to his little sister as she tried to break into the bathroom.
8. "Wait, wait, wait, mom... let's try this again." - said to me after I told him that he lost his Star Wars ship for the day for not saying "yes mommy" and instead screaming "NO! I don't want to!" when I told him to use the potty before lunch.
9. "Next time we have to tell the doctor, 'no pokes' mommy... because I don't want to throw up again" - said after he heard me pondering out loud to Mike that perhaps his vomiting was a reaction to his Swine Flu vaccination.
10. "Are you just joking" - now said whenever he has caught on to my sarcasm when I say things like, "okay, let's not use the potty and just poop our pants today".
11. "But I didn't say ha-HA! I wasn't brave" - said tearfully when I told him we were going to get a strawberry shake at McDonald's after receiving a double injection (one regular flu, one swine flu) at the doctor. Mike had told him to just say "ha-HA" at the nurse after she pokes him, which he successfully did after the first shot, but not after the second.
12. "Wanna get that for me?" - his way of asking for a toy, making it seem like it's something I WANT to do rather than something he wants.
13. And the one Mike didn't want to forget... tonight, when he asked William what he wanted to get Elizabeth for her birthday he responded, "How about a Clone Trooper with a helmet that doesn't come off?" (because I always tell him to keep his Clone Troopers that have removable helmets out of her reach so she won't choke on the small pieces, but of course, she ALWAYS wants to play with what her brother is playing with).
Can't beat the kid's logic right? Makes me look forward (usually) to what will come out of his little head and mouth next.
