Skinny Arms

I took the boys to the splash pad one day and I was putting sunscreen on Connor's arms. I said something about his arms being so skinny. He asked what that meant and I explained that it was the same thing as thin and it means there isn't much fat on them. He looked at me and said "yours are kind of stout, aren't they?"

Chot Chot Milt

Zeke asked for a drink last night and I asked him what he wanted. He said Chot Chot Milt (chocolate milk, of course)

I told Brandon I thought it was so cute the way he says chot chot milt.

Zeke looked at me and very carefully, with a pause between each syllable said chot....chot....milt. He thought he was saying choc....late....milk and looked at me like "that's the way you say it...not the way you were saying it!"

Thithy Wa Wa

Zeke has REALLY started talking this past week. We were on vacation in Wisconsin.

Every day, he would get up, grab his fishing pole and find an adult. He would hold up his pole and say "Thithy Wa Wa" (Fish in the water)

Right, Efan?

One day, I picked Quentin up at a preschool that they had at the high school and since I was taking him back to Pam's, I also picked up another kid that attended the same preschool (Ethan).

We got in the car and I got them all strapped in and we took off. Ethan said something to Quentin, but he called him "twentin". Quentin asked me why he called him that. I explained that he was saying Quentin, but that it was hard for Ethan to say so he was saying it the best he could. Quentin acted a little insulted, but said "ok".

The next thing I heard, they were chatting about something and Quentin ended up telling Etan something then he said "Right, Efan?"

I Love Your Face

I was telling Connor good night last night and he said "I love to look at your face"

I said "Thanks. I love to look at your face, too."

He said "I really do. I smells like your house and reminds me of your house"

Like Your House

The boys were almost ready for bed and we were going to lay down on the floor and read a couple of books. I sat down and started to lay on my stomach and got close to Connor as he was doing the same thing. He said "Oh, you smell good"

I said "Thanks" He said "You smell like your house"

(I asked him if that was a good thing and he said it is)

Like My Own Sons

We were at the park the other day and Connor was helping Zeke get up the ladder to go down the slide. I told him what a great big brother he is and he said "I know"

He started talking about how much work it is to take care of Quentin and Zeke but he doesn't mind doing it because they are so cute. He said "It's like they are my own sons"
