Things My Kids Say
Right now, Rex is the only one who can talk, but I want to capture some of the things he says, because they are just so funny & nonsensical & just so darn cute!
2022 - Leo now says stuff too!
2023 - Leo says A LOT now!
Rex & Leo {singing in unison} It's raining Tacooooos! They're falling from the skyyyyy!
Rex {in speaking tone}: Ok! Now let's play 'Does Leo Bend That Way?'
Keith: Uh, yeah... No, we're not playing that game...
Clerk: What's your favorite planet?
Leo: Uh... Moon!
Clerk: Dude, that's not a planet!
Leo: Uh... Penis!
Clerk: {blushes} Um... okay...
Mom: {giggles}
Rex: Mommy! Watch me! You can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man!
Leo: Mommy! Watch me! eee-eee oooo aah eee eeee eeeee eeeee inner man!
Me: Oh! Are you the gingerbread man?
Leo: Yiomp (which is how he says yes)
I gave both boys a dollar to put in the jukebox to pick a song to play. Leo impatiently and eager to put his dollar in the machine stood there crying and protesting that it was his turn while Keith was holding Rex to help him select a song. The waitress then brings the parm & crushed red pepper for the pizza to the table. I showed the parm shaker to Leo and said: Leo look! Parmesan!
Leo {threw his dollar on the floor as if he no longer needed money and ran to the table}: Parmesan! My parm! Nummy!
Me: Look at all the stuff here. There's glasses and masks and seasoning and pickles
Rex: And look mommy! Coffee buckets!
Rex: aww. I just want to be doctor.
Mom: You want to be a doctor?
Rex: Yes-thsh. Then I will give Brusly medicine and she won't have owie any more?
Rex: We will write to Santa. And then put it in the mailbox? Then I will get a present, and I will open it, and it will be a Dinotruck, and I will play with it and smash?
Rex: What the heck?!
Rex: Two little monkeys jumping on the bed. One fell off and bumped his head. Mommy called the doctor and the doctor said, "Hello?"
Rex: ... ten eleven twelve fourteen eleventeen twelve eighteen twenty twenty-seven twenty-eight twenty-six twenty-seven...
{deep breath}
Yay! I said all of the numbers!
This is one of my favorites that I've hesitated to post, as I don't want to embarrass the kid, but it's so worthy.
Rex could name all 8 planets plus the dwarf before he could count, but he didn't say them all right...
Rex: No! Not wash penis!
{A sudden look of epiphany overcomes his 2 year-old, little face}
Mercahrie. Peenis. Eerph. Mahwrs. JUpi-er. Sah-urn. Urrrrranus! Neptune. and Poo-to.
Rex: Run Mommy! It's a Meo-Meo Monster. Get on Gramma & Bobby's bed!
Rex: Look Up Duh Low!!!! Mommy, monster truck is sad.
Mom: Why is he sad?
Rex: He has owie. I need my doctor bag and my scepa-sope [stethoscope]. Go find it mommy!
Rex: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, fourteen, eleventeen, twelve, fourteen, eleventeen, twelve, fourteen, eleventeen, twenty!
Rex: Ny-dra-gen! It's ny-dra-gen!!
Rex: I want to play with that football... I want to be [a] man.
Mom: You will be!
Rex: Okay!
Rex: {pointing at nipple} "What's that?"
Mom: That's your nipple. You have 2 nipples.
Rex: No. I don't. A dinosaur ate my nipples.
Dad: Good Night Rex.
Rex: Umm... Wait. I need a man, a cone, and a truck!
Dad: {obliges and gets a man, a cone, and a truck}
Rex: Not this truck!! A different truck!
Mom: Good Night Rex.
Rex: Mom! I need a transfer truck and a green flatbed truck!
Mom: {obliges and meets his request}
Rex: Not this truck!! A different truck!
Mom: Rex What do you want for dinner?
Rex: Umm... Trucks!
Rex: {picking up a tree star} Look Mom! A Star Fish!
Rex: Mom, I need a donut! And I need cake.
