I Wish I Could Be You

On the way to school this morning, all of a sudden Zeke said "Gramma Coley, I wish I could be you" I said "Zeke, why would you want to be me?" Quentin said "I guess he wants to be a girl" Zeke: "No I don't! I just wish I could be Gramma Coley" I asked him why again. He said "Because I like you so much"

I'm Totally Mature

We took Mom to the doctor today and the boys got a little antsy waiting for her to come out so I told them we would just go out to the car a watch a movie while we waited for her.

On the way walking out, Connor asked why we were going to the car. He had mentioned a couple of weeks ago something about him being mature so I said "well, a couple of boys need to be a little more mature so we are just going out to the car instead of causing commotion in the doctor's office."

Connor said "I know Zeke is not mature, but he is only three. I think Quentin has become a lot more mature. And I am totally mature."

I said "You are pretty mature, but I wouldn't say totally because if you were totally mature, you wouldn't say stuff like 'why does Zeke get to stay home and I still have to go to school?' when he is sick."

Connor: "yeah, I'm working on that."

Initiative

I had all the boys today because Connor and Quentin were still sick. They were watching "Toy Story 3" in the afternoon and I happened to go in the bedroom when the big pink bear, Lotso, was talking. He said something about "initiative" and Connor said "I like initiative".

I said "do you know what initiative means?"

He said he did and I went on to say "it's like when you think of a good idea and you go ahead and do it without waiting for someone to tell you to do it"

He said "I know that. And it has a cuss word in the middle of it"
