Words II

Here are a few more things I heard the past couple of weeks...
Eric To me: "I love you, Girl."
 (He often calls me "Girl")

Christian to Eric: "I like you."
Eric: "I like Mommy."

Reading his dinosaur encyclopedia: "Mom, can I have some square crackers while I look at my Dinosaur Bible?"

Coming out of his room at night: "Mom, I'm as scared as a little bug."

He noticed some cans on the side of the road while we were driving. I reminded him that was called littering and it was bad for the environment. He said, "Ya, and if you do it, you'll have to go to Jell-O".

Last weekend we were at my grandma's and Eric was playing with Eden and Will. Eden was being the "teacher" and showing the boys an ABC book. Just like a teacher, she was pausing to wait for their responses. She came to the letter V: "This is a vvv.... Volcano, that's right! And it's uuuuh.... (no response) uuuuh... Uuuuh-ruptin'!"

Eric 3 Year Check-Up

On Valentine's Day morning I took Eric to the doctor for his 3 year check-up. He is very healthy and he did a great job, even with the shots. They didn't give me a print-out of his stats, but I remember they said he was 38 pounds. I also remember he was 75-99% on everything. We had a fun outing just the two of us and afterwards we went and chose Valentines for him and Jake. (Eric chose a dinosaur and a caramel apple; we got Jake a Valentine's Mr. Potato Head). 

Words

Lately Eric has been cracking me up with the things he says. I have been writing them down when I remember. Here are a few gems...

 ~ "Get over here, Mommy! You wanna help me build the Cretaceous Era?"

~ "Hey Mom, can you get some juice for my little man, Jake?"

He has been trying hard to talk to us when he gets upset, instead of losing his temper and whopping his brother. Here are some of his efforts at self-control.

~ Mom, he won't stop. He's making me freak out!"

~ "Stop it!" (pausing to try and find the words that won't get him in trouble) "You... Huge... Baby!"


~ Snuggling into bed at night: "Come and lay by me Mommy. So I can pre-tect you."

~ Eating candy: "I love Kitty Cat Bars!"

~Me: "Peew! Did you toot?"
  E: "No. It was just air coming out of my bottom again."

~ And this one from my mom. He came out of the bathroom the other morning and said: "My wiener was going crazy in there!"

I really like this kid.
