I'm Only Guessing it Will Be a Girl

Connor was excited about the prospect of a new baby in the family. He decided he would guess at whether it will be a boy or a girl.

He told us all that he thinks it is a girl, but made sure we knew that he was only guessing...he didn't know for sure.

We asked why he thinks it will be a girl and he said "I think my dad got all the wieners that were available"

Short Hair Long Hair

I am going to have another grandchild in about 7 1/2 to 8 months. This time it will be my daughter's child. She was telling my 5-year-old grandson about it and he seemed excited, but didn't want to talk much so he handed the phone over to his 6-year-old brother.

While Connor was talking to his aunt (Butbo) about the new baby, the subject of boy or girl came up and Quentin overheard Connor ask about boy or girl. Quentin looked at me and said "so is it a boy or a girl?" I said "We won't know until it is born."

Quentin said "Well, you won't know then either"

I asked why we wouldn't know when it is born. He said "Well, everyone has short hair when they are born. You have to wait till they grow a little and see if their hair gets long or stays short."

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"
