While changing his diaper and trying to get out the door and not be late for Mass...
C: "You are driving  me crazy."
I tried to figure out if I had said this recently and couldn't remember! And I really don't remember saying it to him, haha!


My sister S talking to C...
S: "C, are you Irish?"
C: "No, I'm C!!"


C: "You look very nice Mommy! You look really cool."
I had just perched my sunglasses on top of my head. My sis wondered what he wanted. Ha!


I went in to kiss C goodnight after DH had put him to bed. Unprompted by DH...
C: "Thank you for the really yummy dinner Mommy."
And my heart melted...
Friday Lenten meal of tomato soup and grilled cheese for the win!


DH and I went on Saturday to see Cinderella with my sister R and her fiance. It was SO GOOD! Read Haley's excellent review here. :) But there are some spoilers if you haven't seen it yet! Before we left (my mom and sis S came to watch the kids), C said "I don't want to you go. Please stay with me." And as we were walking out the door "I don't want you to go on an update!!!"

Conversations (2) Uncle D's abilities

Me: C, what color is Mommy's hair?
C: Black
Me: What color is C's hair?
C: Orange
Me: Your hair is not orange!
C: I need a mirror

Me: C, look at that tree! Isn't it pretty? Who makes the leaves change color?
C: Uncle D.

Apparently Uncle D has super powers!! :)

Apparently I am terrible at leaving drafts unpublished. I found this one from way back in the fall - hence the Jack-o-Lantern song!... it still makes me smile. :)

C during breakfast:
"I go for a walk.
I find a stick.
I play the cello."

Lately he's been pausing after he finds said stick to sit somewhere while I sing the Jack-o-Lantern song and he plays the air cello.

Yes, definitely the son of a musician! :)

Me to C while feeding G -
Me: C, will you go get G's blue chair for me downstairs?
(DH and I read in one of our books that kids need to take a moment to process things before they can respond, so I waited patiently until I saw his face light up that he understood.
C turned around to head downstairs then he turned back and said "Pleeeeease?" (as a reminder to me to say please!)
Me: Yes, sorry, please!!


C: Bong, bong, bong, bong
Me: Are you a clock?
C: Bong, bong, bong, bong.... good grief!! (And then I think he said something about "o'clock".)
I couldn't figure out for the life of me where he got that... until I was reading a Charlie Brown Thanksgiving and it's in part of the book. Oh, the things they focus on!


C: (looking at one of those black and white picture book for babies) Baby Hedgehog!
Me: What did you say?
C: Baby hedgehog!!
Me: thinking for a minute... oh my goodness! The velcro fastener! He has a touch-and-feel baby animal book and the last page is a baby hedgehog... you guessed it, it feels like a piece of velcro!

Conversation #1:

C was holding a little pocket mirror of mine that lately is his "phone." He holds it up to his ear and talks away. Today I heard him saying as he looked at it "checking email." He was moving his little thumb over the surface as if he was typing. I asked him to tell me what he was doing and clear as day he said "checking email."

Conversation #2 (a few minutes later)

C while looking at the "phone" and holding it to his mouth "Call. Call mobile." Apparently I use the voice dial feature more often than I thought! After a while he said "Call. Call. Grandma." And then - and at this point I died laughing - "Call. Call. Parrot." Yup. He wanted to call the Pirate Parrot, who is apparently his BFF since we met him at the ALS walk a few weeks ago.

I will add that he also met Iceburg last Saturday at the Pens practice that was open to the public. He didn't call Iceburg, but he does remember that he blew him a kiss.

2 year olds! They are too funny!
