My little peach has been on a tear lately. Thankfully, some of the craziness that comes out of his mouth is funny because some of it? Not so funny. He is so darn defiant lately. And, being that he is now 3 and fiercely independent it will come as no shock to hear that the phrase he now says most frequently is, “I can do it all by myself.” But, actually, it usually goes more like this, “Noooooo. I can do dit all by myzelllllffff!!”
Here are some other great things my little man has said recently.
Drink Away the Blues
We were packing and preparing to leave my mom’s house after spending a week with her for the holidays. My mom cuddled with Preschool Boy and talked about how she was going to miss him.
My mom: I’m really going to be sad when you leave and I’m going to miss you. My house is going to be really quiet tomorrow, and I don’t know what I’m going to do.
Preschool Boy: Have a drink.
My mom: What?
Preschool Boy: When yer sad tomorrow has a drink of juiz or somezing.
It didn’t end there. The next morning Preschool Boy mentioned that his “Sasa” was going to drink some juice to feel better. And then a day or two later on the telephone he asked my mom if she had a drink to feel better.
Um, where in the word did he learn that the way to drown sorrows is to HAVE A DRINK? I assure you he did not learn that from me. And frankly, if he did, I’d be drowning in something a little stiffer than juice. Just sayin’. Caffeine at a minimum.
Potty Talk
As if the little subject line just up there wasn’t obvious enough, consider yourself warned there’s some bathroom talk coming up.
When Preschool Boy first started going on the potty he was obsessed with staring in the toilet when he was finished to, um, check out all he’d accomplished. The following conversation occurred after going poop on the potty.
Preschool Boy: Look, I made a family!
Me: Huh?
Preschool Boy: Zer’s two in der.
Me: Huh?
Preschool Boy: A big one and a wittle won. A mama and a baby. I made a family!
I’m so proud.
And, his interest with bodily functions continues. Last night, we were hanging out and playing. He passed some gas. I don’t remember my exact words, but I asked him what the sound was.
Me: What was that?
Preschool Boy: I farted. **lots of giggles**
Me: Say, “Excuse me.” And, holy cow, that stinks!
Preschool Boy: **more giggles** I like farts. Fart is my favorite.
Me: Oh, dear.

January 7, 2010I’ve been getting a LOT of “myself” comments. However, my preschooler almost stutters the first part, “Don, don, don hewp me! I can do it mysssself!” She’s in there now putting on her pajamas under a princess dress and got really upset when I reminded her “tag to the tooshie” (our catch phrase for putting pants on correctly).

January 8, 2010I thought I was the only one whos son said he made a family in the toilet. He called me to the bathroom when he was 2 or 3 to see mommy poop and her pooplets, as he called them.

January 9, 2010LOL kids really say the sillies and funniest things. I teach 3-5 year olds and they always have interesting things to say.

January 9, 2010Only a cute little kid can make poop talk kinda sweet and endearing. I wonder why it is that both of our kids compare poops to moms/families… Hmmmm.

January 10, 2010That’s hilarious. I hate to break the news to you, but I live with 3 boys, and the oldest one is 38 (hubby). Farts are STILL hilarious to all three of them. We just try to at least teach our boys some decorum when we’re out in public. At home is another story though.

It’s good you’re blogging and writing these down I did this when my kids were little (wrote down my favorites) and put them in my memory box. One of my favorites was when my youngest used to sing Panacake Panacake Bakers da Man (for Patty cakes!)
