Xander Week 104 – A few entertaining quotes
February 9, 2009
Xander has been spending more time on his own lately (a side effect of having an extra baby in the house). He’s been doing really well with this new independence, but sometimes seeks some reassurance from his parents. A few entertaining examples:
About an hour after Zach put him to bed, we could hear Xander crying. Zach went upstairs to check on him – Xander had his blanket and all of his “guys” (a story for another post) gathered and was standing on the bed. When Zach asked him what he was doing, Xander said “I woke up” and he was clearly ready to get out of bed. It was clear that Xander had fallen asleep, and now that he had woken up, he assumed it was the next day, and it was time to get going. Xander looked at his dad like he had three heads when he told him to go back to sleep – “but, I woke up!”
I was home alone with both boys, and in desperate need of a shower. Xander was playing quietly with his toys, and Toy Story was playing quietly in the background. Parker was sitting contentedly in his car seat, so I brought him into the bathroom with me, and told Xander he could come get me if he needed me. About 2 minutes into my shower, Xander ran in. “Mama, I can play with toys?” I poked my head out and said “Yes Xander, you can play with toys.” Xander ran back to the living room. Several minutes later, he runs back,
“Mama, Mama!”
“What’s up Xander?”
“You have shampoo in your hair!”
“Yep, I do.”
“Get it out!”
“I’m working on it…”
That’s my son, master of the obvious… but he’s always good for a smile!
Lately Xander has turned into a very fresh little toddler. One of his favorite sentences is “I need it” or “I need it now”. Not to mention the directives “Sit Mom”, “Eat Dad”, “Mom, drink”, etc. My least favorite is “Stop Mom” and he covers my mouth with his hand when he wants me to stop talking. Unfortunately, this usually catches me off guard, so I’m rendered speechless for a few seconds, which of course means he’s achieved his goal.
I’m just not sure how to teach this little guy about manners… Anyone have any suggestions?
