Too much TV?

Today I told Xan thank you for helping me and he said "it was my pleasure!" Then later I put his stool up to the counter so he could see what I was doing, and he said "That's too close for comfort!" and he moved it away a little. When I asked him where he learned those phrases, he gave me his usual answer anytime I ask him where he learns things. He said "I learned it from school that's by the Daybreak gym, but we haven't learned about airplanes yet."

Funny Xan

A few days ago Xander handed me his big Lightning McQueen and asked me to dry it. I asked him how it got so wet and he said "I bless-you'd all over it!"

Lydia, too

When I was at Steinbergs' a few days ago, Lydia and I had this conversation:
Lydia: Our house is too old.
Me: Are you too old?
Lydia: No.
Me: Are you too young?
Lydia: No. I'm two and a half.

She seems to be a punster already!

Deep thought from Max

A few weeks ago, Max asked me, "Mommy, are you happy and you don't know it?"

Funny day

Today, Xander was having me sing him lullabies while he was pretending to sleep, then he would sing them back to me so I could sleep. When he was singing "Rock-a-bye Baby", at the end he said "and down will come Mommy, into my heart." (I usually sing "into my arms" instead of "cradle and all", I think it sounds much nicer and less violent :) )

Then later, while I was going to the bathroom, Xander walked by and saw me and said "you need a magazine, I'll go get you one." He learned that from Jeff, I've seen Xander a few times sitting on the toilet reading one of those inserts that come in the inside of his DVD's, and Jeff told me that's what Xan went downstairs to find for me to read.

Cailia, Xander, and I were sitting on the back porch watching Jeff mow the lawn today, and Cailia kept pointing at our neighbor's dog really excitedly and saying "tchee", and then growling. I wasn't sure what she was pointing at, so I asked her where Honey was (that's the dog's name), and she'd point right at her. Then I'd say "what does the doggy say?" and she'd growl every time! I think she thinks all animals growl, cuz she was doing that with every animal we saw at the zoo too.
