C: This track is really big, and difficult, and shiny!

C: (singing) ... sleeping dog on his bed!
Me: Sleeping dog on his bed?
C: Don't say that! Only I can say that!

C: In the pizza, there's gonna be squetti!  (Play-doh)

C: Mom, I'm hot. I think I've been out in the rain too long.

C: I think Mom doesn't want to go to the 'crosse game!
(I was catching a snooze between Dora episodes.)

Bossy Buffers

Looking at "the news" (Thomas catalog) ~
C: Maybe you can pay me this Thomas. And this Thomas. I just need three sets!

C: Here Mom, you can eat the rest of my apple.
Me: Did you eat all the peanut butter off it?
C: Yeah.  Here Mom, here you go!
Me: Ew.

C: When we get home, you can start cooking dinner.
Excuse me?

And then after I made dinner ~
Me: Your burrito is ready.
C: No, I'm not quite ready to stop playing!

Colton Is Loud

C: Hey Mom, I'm making a wish. I'm gonna sit here and wish til you get done.

C: Hey Mom, I like cuddling with you.
Me: I like cuddling with you too.
C: I'm not settling down, I'm resting down.

Colton Has a Crush on Dora

C: Can I watch Dora when we get home?
Me: After dinner.

Me: Don't you want to talk to me while I'm cooking?
C: No!

C: I want to eat downstairs.
Me: Why don't we eat as a family?

C: When we get home, are you gonna take a nap?

Me: I might need one.  Are you gonna take one?

C: Nope!

Me: Figures.

C: Hey Mom, I wanna hear it some more!  (aka turn it up)

Counting Fast Cars

                                                     

Me: Could you close the door for me, please?
C: Sure! Thanks for asking me!

C: I don't wanna go to bed by 8! I want to go to bed at 12!
Me: I'm not staying up!

C: I have a really fast car!  It's faster than a jet engine!

Me: Are you sure you don't need to go potty?  I can pause Dora for you.
C: No! I'm not going potty today! On Tuesday, I'll go potty.
Me: It is Tuesday.
C: No, on Saturday, I'll go potty.

Colton Gets Rid of His Old Lady

Me: Not so loud, you're hurting my head!
C gets his laptop out and turns on the music...
C: Is this better for your head, Mom?

C: I want to go to that fry store!
Me: I refuse.  You'd have to take me home!
C: But, I wanna go there!  (more whining)
...
C: Where are we going?
Dad: To the meat store to pick up our order.
C: And we have to take Mom by home. 
Ha!

C: I'm gonna keep my eye on you! (wink)

C: Hey Mom, you're being a bummer.
Me: I am? Why?
C: Because I like you to.

C: I'm gonna send a hiking message to Dad.
Me: Where's your phone?
C: It's downstairs.
Me: Why?
C: Because I don't use it every time.  I like to play with other things else.  Okay?
Me: Okay.

C: It smells like train smoke!

C: I'm doing work stuff for work!

C: But when can I have more chocolate?
Me: Maybe tomorrow.

Colton on Where Babies Come From

C: When I was one, was I a baby?
Me: Yep.
C: Why was I a baby when I am one?
Me: Everybody is a baby when they're one.
C: Yeah, and when you were one, I was trying to pick you up when you came out of the ground.
Uh... so that's where babies come from.

Opa: ... gravity.

C: You said a bad word!

Me: Gravity isn't a bad word.

C: Don't hit your head, Fred!  My name is Fred! 

Me: Or your toe, bro. Or your chin, Lynn.  Or your nose, Rose.

C: You're funny!

C: I like my kitty when
I hold him like this!

Me: Oma & Opa have to go home tomorrow.
C: Why?
Me: Because they have kitties that miss them when they're not home.  Don't you miss your kitty when you're not at home?
C: No!  And I'm gonna build a gate and not let them leave!
Me: But they'll be back to see us soon.
C: Oh.  Okay. 

Colton Is Tired

C: Mom? Are you still tired?

Me: Yep.

C: I'm tired too.  I'm tired of you.  But I'm going to dream about you!  Are you going to dream about me?

Me: Probably.

C: You have to dream about me if I dream about you.

Me: Thanks for getting the sun out for me. I appreciate it!

C: No, I didn't.  I was inside.

Me: Where did our sun go now?

C: It was too tired, and had to go to bed. 

C: My mouse is sick.  I have to take its doctor.


C: I'm Buzz Lightyear's star-man-guy!

C: Is it okay if I hurt myself?
Me: No thank you! 

C: Hey Mom, do you know how to fly?

Me: No.

C: You have to put your hands out like this, and say "OH INFINITY AND BEYOND!" and then fly over the mountain!

C: What's that picture?

Me: It's you taking care of the mouse.
C: Yeah, he had a feeling!  And he ate too much popcorn and choked, and had to go to the hospital where they took his temperature!
