travel

And yet another funny conversation with Drew:

Does it get darker in the airport?

Where'd the orange stroller go?

We should go to on an airplane today.

(Me: You'll go on an airplane with daddy soon, to visit uncle Shaun.)

You should go too, Mommy.

You should go on an airplane with me and Daddy.

Daddy is your brother.

Oh, Daddy is your husband?

I want to go on an airplane with you.

(Me: We'll go on an airplane together at Thanksgiving.)

No, I don't want to go WITH Thanksgiving!

(Me: Okay, we'll go someday then...)

You should put the orange stroller in the car.

I'll go check your car for the stroller.

He clearly tries just about every angle he can!

car talk

Drew is growing up so quickly! Most of the time he is a delightful little character, though he certainly lives up to the title of "Terrible-Twos." We're doing our best to remain patient with him and give him as much attention as we can with a new baby in the house. When we're in the car and Miriam is asleep, he takes all the attention he can get!

On our way home from daycare today he was chatting up a storm, I couldn't even respond to all of his comments, except to laugh. Here are the ones I remember:

we had 'pagetti and Miss 'Vangeline's (Evangeline's)
i didn't help pick up the Legos

David Scott has Legos

I have Legos at home, yep

we should have 'pagetti at home

i don't like 'pagetti, he didn't eat very much 'pagetti (he who?)

i didn't pick up the Legos at Miss 'Vangelines (telling on himself, again)

you like 'pagetti, Mommy?

hey, what's that song?

is it a guitar?

i need my pink guitar

we need a new blue guitar

does Santa play guitar?

we'll see Nana and Reagan at Christmas, when Santa comes

Santa's really, really big

Santa will come to Nana and Papi's, yep.

we need snow boots at Christmastime

he has a flag on a stick (pointing to a homeless man)

he has a hat, he's a cowboy!

hi cowboy!

The following day, he reminded me of this:
where's my water bottle daddy? (my reply: "am I daddy?")
no, you're jess.
doug is at home, yep.

male bonding

Our new baby girl has allowed for some male bonding time for the boys...With lots of wrestling and rocking out to loud music. The last two nights have included both - ending with Drew dancing around the living room with his guitar belting out lyrics to the White Stripes. He has also decided "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes" left out one very important body part...boys. Wow.
