bounce house

We were at a birthday party yesterday which had a bounce house. The way this one was set up, Brodie needed a little help into it. Once he was in I stuck around because I knew I'd need to help him out of it too. I stood on the side to watch so I could enjoy him having fun. To my surprise he bounced right over to me and said, "I love you Mommy." Then he wrapped his fingers through the netting, puckered up his lips and fit them through the netting so he could kiss me.

spelling lesson

While grocery shopping Brodie whispered VERY quietly and seriously into my ear, "What does poop start with?" I answered, "P." Then he whispered VERY quietly and seriously into my ear, "What does pee start with?" I answered, "P, it starts with the letter P." Then he whispered VERY quietly and seriously into my ear, "What does toot start with?" I answered, "T." He seemed satisfied with his new level of knowledge and began talking about something else.

milk moustache

Brodie had a milk moustache so I asked him to use his napkin to wipe his face. Instead he tried to lick the milk away like he was cleaning a windshield and said, "My tongue is a good wiper, huh?"

shaken, not stirred please

While waiting in 101 degree heat for Katherine to get out of school, Brodie says, "Everyone loves cocktails." (We got interrupted so I couldn't ask him what he really meant.)

Yoo Wha Wha

Brodie was watching TV. He came running into my bedroom and said, "Mommy! There was a guy who said 'Yoo Wha Wha.' I can't say the Spanish. You should have seen it!"

time to pick up

Brodie's bedroom floor was covered in toys. I told him it was time to pick up and that I would help him. Brodie said, "You should pick it up yourself." I laughed and told him I would help him, but he was going to pick up too. I got down on the floor and started. He just watched me so I added a whiney, "Don't you love me?" Brodie came over, gave me a hug, and patted my back gently. He told me in his most soothing, loving, and comforting voice, "It's okay mommy. You can pick it up yourself."

no fish?

While in the waiting room at the dentist's office Brodie was playing happily with the toys provided. After being there about 10 minutes he asks, "Why are there no fish here?" This made no sense to me so I repeated it back to him to make sure I had understood what he said. Then it came to my mind he meant fish in an aquarium. I said, "Oh, you mean like in Finding Nemo?" Brodie said, "Ya." I explained everyone decorated differently. He responded, "Oh."
