On our way to soccer today Aaron was asking about how to drive a car...
Me: Then you push the pedals on the floor down to either stop or go.
Aaron: So...you kind of have to be tall enough to reach them.
Me: Yup, that's why you have to be 16 to drive.
(Aaron was quiet for a minute thinking...)
Aaron: Well Daddy is a lot taller than you...so that must be why he drives too fast. Because you are only supposed to go 65, NO FASTER.
Me: Yup. Good point.

We had just finished making Isaac's Valentine's Day present from the kids.

Aaron: "I love this present more than anything.  Even more than Jesus."

It was a coffee mug we wrote on with Sharpie.  So...we will work on his theology.

I was trying to open the wrapper of a cheese stick.
Me:  Ooh, this cheese stick wrapper is stuck.
Sam:  Oh, get Daddy.
Me: No, I think I can do it.
Sam:  Daddy at home.  I get him.
Me:  I got it!
Sam:  Great job, Mommy!

So glad he has so much confidence in me.

We were on FaceTime with Tutu and Phoebe, and I looked over to see Sam on the phone with his shirt off.
Me: Sam, why is your shirt off?
Sam: I showing them my nibbles. 

Okay...

A few minutes later,
Me: Sam, let's put your shirt back on.
Sam: No, I been wearin it ALL day.

So instead, he sat and watched Dora while playing with his nibbles...

Aaron: I don't want to be called Aaron anymore.
Me: So what should we call you instead?
Aaron:  I can't tell you.  It's a secret.
Me:  I have to have something to call you.
Aaron:  Well...okay.  My favorite name is Braaron.  Can you call me Braaron?

Sam and I were cleaning up the pieces from his Busytown board game.  I was counting the pieces as he put them in the bag...
Me:  One, two, three, four...
(Sam finds the fifth and sixth piece and puts them in)
Sam:  Cinco, seis...

This morning Sam walked into the kitchen, climbed up at the table, and said:
"I need my coffee."
I said, "Sammy, you don't drink coffee. Coffee is for grown ups."
He stopped, thought for a minute, and said:
"Then I need a parrot."
Oh, okay then.

Sam : "I need an iPad....how about that one?"  And points at Tutu's iPad, which she was using at that moment.  "Tutu, you want two dollars?"
Tutu : "No, do you have like 500 dollars?"
Sam : "Uh, let me check..."  And proceeded to lift up his shirt, checked in his belly button... "No, not in there!"  Shoves a hand in his diaper... "Not in there!"  Turns to Tutu, "How about three tickles?"
