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!

{12/03/2023 At Bathtime}
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...

{03/13/2022 at Planetarium - Gift Shop}
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}

{11/24/2021 Hayward, WI}
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=)

{11/22/2021 at Blackiron restaurant in Hayward, WI}
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 or 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!

{11/22/2021 at Blackiron restaurant in Hayward, WI}
Me: Look at all the stuff here. There's glasses and masks and seasoning and pickles
Rex: And look mommy! Coffee buckets!

{11/16/2020 upset that he can't come with me to take our dog Brusly to the vet}
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?

{11/15/2020}
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?

{11/15/2020 at the rainforest in galveston as we approached a white faced sake monkey}
Rex: What the heck?!

{10/3(ish)/2020 Rex singing}
Rex: Two little monkeys jumping on the bed. One fell off and bumped his head. Mommy called the doctor and the doctor said, "Hello?"

{9/6/2020 more counting}
Rex: ... ten eleven twelve fourteen eleventeen twelve eighteen twenty twenty-seven twenty-eight twenty-six twenty-seven...

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...

{Early 2020: While taking a bath and washing certain areas...}
Rex: No! Not wash penis!

{9/03/2020}
Rex: Run Mommy! It's a Meo-Meo Monster. Get on Gramma & Bobby's bed!

{8/25/2020 while launching moster trucks off a ramp}
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!

{8/1/20 at ice cream place; arms raised to the sky while spinning in circles in a cloud of nitrogen.}
Rex: Ny-dra-gen! It's ny-dra-gen!!

{8/1/20 in bookstore looking at football magazine}
Rex: I want to play with that football... I want to be [a] man.
Mom: You will be!
Rex: Okay!

{7/19/20 during bath time}
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.

{7/10/2020 at bed time}
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}
