He Said. She Said.

He said:  "Mom, we need to go to the store and get me a Buzz Lightyear with wings that go up and down, a toy house, and shirts that are small like me." 

He asked me every day for three days for this same list.

In case anyone is wondering...HIS Christmas list is the following - in order of priority:
Buzz Lightyear wings (or sometimes he calls in a jetpack)
Buzz Lightyear like Benjamin has
Buzz Lightyear rocketship like Benjamin got for his birthday
Lantern from R.E.I
Green thing that plugs into the wall that you walk around with
(we are not sure but we think this is a Lego solar powered torch, also at REI)

He can repeat it for you on demand if asked.

 

She said:  "Go, go, go"

anytime she wants to go outside or in the basement to play.  She will also bring you her shoes when it's time to go, or just when she wants to wear them.

He said:  "Mom, remember when baby sister was in your tummy?  And she was just a sandwich."

When really excited about something

He said:  "I never seen this before!"


When asked why he was putting grapes in my tall rainboots

He said:  "I just putting them in here for safe keeping so Baby Sister doesn't get them with her tiny arms."

 

When the dogs barked

She said:  "Dog" 

And then immediately after

  

She said:  "Stop!" (which sounds more like top),
and "wuff, wuff, wuff."

 

She said:  "Up/gup/cup"

which can mean any of the following:

Pick it up

Pick me up

Sippy cup

Help

She said: Beh (Book), shoes, and juice.

 

She said:  "Row, row, row" 

As in Row, row, row, you're boat.

He said:  "...Life's a pot of stream"

And he won't let you sing it any other way.

He said:  "Hide and sink"

He said:  "Mom, remember when there were fireworks outside and I was scared of the loud noise and you were making salsa?"

Now this wouldn't be remarkable in the least except that he said it out of the blue in NOVEMBER and he was talking about something that happened in JULY.  His ability to remember mundane details amazes me :)

These pictures were taken during our annual apple-picking pilgrimage to North Carolina in September.  So yes, they are outdated, but cute nonetheless.
