scene: Milo and I, walking down the snowy sidewalk last night to go order some takeout for dinner.
Milo: What kind of restaurant are we going to?
Me: A Thai food restaurant.
pause…
Milo: Like a tying your shoes restaurant?
Before going to bed tonight Milo said to me, “Mo, you’re a nincompoop.”
Honk out
Morgan (speaking to Rachel): “Maybe we should leave around noon and hopefully he’ll conk out in the car”
Milo (the peanut gallery): “No, I’m going to honk out in the car”
surprise
Scenario: walking down the sidewalk with Milo on our way to his friend Lollie’s 3rd birthday party (holding a present)
Milo: What’s in there (pointing to the present)
Me: It’s a surprise
Milo: No daddy, that’s not a surprise, that’s a birthday present
“Daddy, I love you.”
Milo and I had just had a nice bath and were drying off when he said this to me.
I was about to feel all warm and fuzzy inside when he looked up at me and qualified his remark by saying, “but I didn’t love you yesterday”.
hmpfff.
Hasta Banana
…this is what happens when a 3-year old who loves to eat starts learning Spanish
Heaven holds a place for those who play
Overheard Rachel and Milo signing the other morning…
And here’s to you, Mrs. Robinson
Jesus loves you more than you will know (Wo, wo, wo)
God bless you please, Mrs. Robinson
Heaven holds a place for those who play
(Hey, hey, hey…hey, hey, hey)
