Cool Beans!
Peter & Andrew LOVE jelly beans - they are a very special treat. I, on the other hand, love chocolate... and believe jelly beans to be inferior to snacks of the chocolate variety.
You can imagine my dismay when Peter seeing some M&Ms on his dish excitedly yells out, "Beans!"
"Cool Beans!"
Okay - so the fact that 1) he used (appropriately) a slang term that's 10 years old (at 2 years old) and 2) MY kind of 'beans' are COOL redeemed him of his error.

Thoughts from Andrew
Mom! I got some pants on my chalk!
(he meant chalk on his pants)
Eyeing some new kitchen towels - "Hey Mom, who got these towels for you?"
Me: "Guess"
Andrew: "Um, Grandma?"
Me (shocked!): "Yes - you're right! How did you know?!"
Andrew: "I just knowed it because I know gramma a LOT!"
Mom - Peter can PUSH me now!!
Peter was pulling him in the wagon - Andrew's been waiting for this day for a LONG time..especially since we often enlisted Andrew to pull Peter.

The concept of time: not there yet
While discussing how I acquired a statue of the Holy Family from my grandpa:
Amy: "I got that from my grandpa before you were born."
Andrew: "Was I still in your tummy?"
Amy: "No, you weren't born yet."
Andrew: "I was just boring?!?"
(suppress laughter)
Andrew: "It was just boring in your tummy because there was no toys in there."
Amy: "I got that from my grandpa before you were born."
Andrew: "Was I still in your tummy?"
Amy: "No, you weren't born yet."
Andrew: "I was just boring?!?"

herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores
Andrew has been interested in a new show called 'Dinosaur Train' and has learned about herbivores, omnivores and carnivores and what those terms mean...and most of the time he uses them correctly.
Today, at grandma & grandpa's house, we saw a white-tail deer eating grass outside the kitchen window.
Me: Andrew, look at the deer!
Andrew: Wow! That's so....WEIRD!
Me: Hey, the deer is eating grass. If he's eating grass, what does that make him?
(yes, I was angling for 'herbivore')
Andrew: Um...Hungry?

Peter was just patting my head and 'petting' my hair and saying "Nice...head...nice...head".
I think the kid needs a pet...
