Connorisms

We all know that kids say the darnedest things, but a three year old will say some really funny stuff. Here are a few of my favorite Connorisms!

* At Disney World we kept telling Connor, "Maybe, If you are good, we will buy that for you." Well this stuck with him. When we got home around Easter the kept saying, "Maybe, if you are good, the Easter Bunny will buy me that." He now says this whenever he wants ANYTHING, but also adds in a few items for Jason and I. Some of the funnier ones involve our friends children. He as said to me, "Mommy. Maybe if you are good the Easter bunny will buy you Molly." (Our friends newborn baby) Also, "Mommy. Maybe if you are good, the Easter bunny will buy you Reese." (Our babysitters 9 month old.) He is so sweet when he says it, but we did have to explain that we can't buy Molly or Reese.

* Connor likes to know who bought him different items. The conversation always goes like this.
Connor - Mommy, who bought me this ___________. (Juice box, bed, bat, baby brother, etc.)
Me - I did, honey.
Connor - Thanks Mommy! (In the cutest voice ever!)

* He is obsessed with baseball, and he is getting pretty good at hitting the ball. After he hits the ball he asks us to say, "Good job, Connor!" or "Home Run!" He also calls foul balls, "bad balls."

* He also loves the movie Peter Pan. He likes to call me Wendy and Jason, John. We have to call him Peter Pan. One night before Jason put him to bed he looked at me and said, "Good night, Wendy. I love you." So sweet!

I am sure there are many more, but these are some of the cuter ones. He is definitely my hoot and a handful!

If My Walls Could Talk...

I gave this prompt for a 5 minute quick write to my 5th graders. Here is what I wrote during that time about the walls in my house.

If my walls could talk they would say, "Mommy, dance with me!"
If my walls could talk they would say, "You have to ask nicely the first time."
If my walls could talk they would say, "No more Michael Jackson for the Wii!!"
If my walls could talk they would scream, "Stop playing baseball in the house!"
If my walls could talk they would say, "Yes, Connor you can fly like Peter Pan!"
If my walls could talk they would say, "Slow down Bridget and enjoy the moment. The rest of this stuff can wait."
If my walls could talk they would say, "Slow down Garrett. You are growing up too fast!"
If my walls could talk they would say, "Your boys are the cutest things ever!" (They really are. The walls don't lie!)
If my walls could talk they would say, "Lower your voice! Your baby brother is sleeping!"
If my walls could talk they would say, "It is OK if Connor turns into a chicken nugget!"
If my walls could talk they would say, "You don't have time to watch all of the shows that you DVR."
If my walls could talk they would say, "Don't worry. Connor will eventually have a decent bedtime routine."
If my walls could talk they would say, "I like being covered with little finger prints."
If my walls could talk they would say, "Your mom is very proud of you."
