Zander-isms

Zander has been talking up a storm and cracking me up (well, mostly anyway).

He has been avoiding baths lately...(channeling his Matthew McConaughey I suppose). Anyway, I keep telling him he is stinky.....he's come up with some retorts for me:

Me: Zander, let's put you in the bath....you're stinky.

Z: I not stinky....I chubby.

the next time he answered with:

Z: I not stinky....I happy.

*********************

The other day when my mom was at our house Zander starting saying "Fire!" "Fire!". Ok, so after our fire this year, we always take him seriously. So we went running and he's pointing to the floor. He meant "spider".

*********************

Zander and I were getting ready to drive somewhere the other day. We got in the car and he says "You play my tape?". (He wants me to play this children's cd of his that really almost puts me to sleep when I'm driving.) I say "sure".....and I pop in Britney Spears' "Circus".

Z: "Is that my tape?".

Me: "Yes, doesn't it sound like it?".

Z: "Yes."

So, I'm driving and when I get to a stop sign I look back to see if he is totally bored or what. I had to sit there for a bit....because his head was going back and forth so quick and he had this really serious look on his face....I wasn't sure if he was dancing or having a seizure. He was head banging to Britney Spears! Whew....he was dancing like a little white boy. Since then, I've discovered he likes The Black Eyed Peas too. Yaay!!!

I was changing his diaper on my parent's recliner the other day. During the diaper change, he tooted.

Me: "Did you just let a stinky on me?"

Z: "No. I did it on the chair."

We've still been praying every night (well, every night he doesn't crash early....and believe me I love those nights...but I digress). I usually tell him what to say and he then goes off on a tangent. Here is how it went a couple of nights ago:

Me: I love you, Jesus.

Z: I love you, Jesus.

Me: Thank you for today.

Z: Thank....today.

Me: Thank you for my family.

Z: And for mawmaw and pawpaw.

Z: Oh! And Joey and Chuck (his cousin and my parent's neighbor).

Me: Ok, is there anyone else?

Z: No.

Me: Uh, Mommy!!!!

(crickets)

Z: That's all, Jesus. Goodnight, Jesus. I talk to you later.

Wow! When he's done...he's done!
