You say...., I say...

Or "how to trick your brother with synonyms"

Andrew: "Peter, you want to play police?"
Peter: "NO!!"
Andrew: "Okay, then do you want to play cop?"
Peter: "OKAY!"
Andrew: "cuz cop is another word for police."

Rolling, rolling, rolling

Clara rolled over today for the first time (front to back)!!

Peter-isms

Us: "Peter, come give us a hug!"
Peter: "No! I have to go talk to Clara so she doesn't get all 'slushy'!"

(we think he meant fussy)

what big brothers are for....

Clara was crying while I was holding her.
Peter stopped playing and came from the playroom to check on her.

P: "Maybe she's hungry."
Me: "Nope, I just fed her."
P: "Well, maybe she needs a diaper change."
Me: "No, I just did that, too."
P: "Well, maybe she needs a big brudder."

Awww....

(and he was right...she stopped crying when he came out!)

Peter-isms

"I fa-membered"
(to forget and then remember again)

"What color are boogers? I think boogers are blue!"

Andrew, on Abraham's journey

We were discussing the (Bible) story of Abraham and the long journey he took to the 'promised land'.
I asked Andrew, "How did Abraham know which way to go? Did he have directions?"

Andrew replied, "Well, I know he didn't have a GPS...only WE have that!"

LOL!

(Later, Jim said Abraham DID have GPS: a "God Positioning System"...probably much more reliable than the TomTom we have...).

tis the season?

It snowed today!
Clara's very first snow!

Peter exclaimed, "It's SNOWING! That means it's Christmas!!"

Dr. Peter

Peter was playing with the toy dr. kit today.
He came over to take my temperature.
(I wouldn't let him put it in my mouth, but he managed anyways.)

He turned the little dial on the thermometer, and told me, "Oh...you're sad." in a very sad voice.
This was quickly followed by an authoritative, "You're sick b/c you ate a puzzle piece!"

(apparently I am being confused w/ Curious George)
