Oh to Be Three

Just thought I'd write a blog about life with a 3 year old. I'm sure you could guess there is never a dull moment. Here are a few funny things he's said over the last week or two:

-He was playing out in the sprinkler and said that water was too cold and he wanted me to turn it warmer.


E: "The water's cold! Turn it warmer."

W: "I can't. The water outside is only cold today."

E: "Turn it warmer...you know...the knob (he pretends to turn one)...hot...warm...cold."

W: "The knob outside is only cold Ethan. I can't make it warmer."

E: "But my pee pee is warm." (he looks puzzled)

W: "Yes, that's true. But I still can't make the water warmer." What are you supposed to say
to that?!



-He was walking through the living room the other night and said "I'm distinguished." I asked
him where he got that and he said "Emily from Little Bear."


-He dropped the soap in the bathroom and said "What the hell!" Again, I asked him where he got that. He said "Marty." I asked him who Marty was and he said "You know, the zebra." (from Madagascar) I actually think he says what the heck but it's interesting that he got that from a kid movie. He also got some other choice words from The Sandlot and "Rookie of the Year". Who makes these kid movies???


-Every time he knocks on the door he says "It's the pizza man!" He said he got that from Alex. I said "Alex from school?" He said, "No, Alex the lion." (again, from Madagascar)



Here's the top 5 reasons not to leave a 3 year old alone:



#1. He might wake up his baby brother who had been fighting a nap. His excuse: "I just feel like bein' loud."

#2. He might sneak out in the back yard to pee.

#3. He might lock the dogs in a bedroom just to hear them bark while he laughs uncontrollably on the other side of the door.

#4. He might answer the phone and have a nice long conversation with whoever is calling.

#5. He might have been doing something but you will never know because you walk in just in time to ask "what are you doing?" His reply, "Nuttin" (nothing). That's the scariest one of all!

*And yes, all of those things listed above happened in one morning.
