Andrew Running the 100m

Andrew was inspired by watching Usain Bolt break the world record in the 100m and wanted to trty it himself! He did it 3 times, adding a lap each time and made me record it every time!

Time To Go Bowling

Andrew: "It's time to go bowling."
Me: "What?"
Andrew: "Mommy, it's time to go bowling. My watch (pointing to the Buzz Lightyear compass he's wearing on his wrist) says it's time to go bowling."
Me: "Okay."
Andrew: "Phillip, we got to go bowling."
Phillip: "In just a minute, okay?" (Wonder where he got that line from??)
Andrew: "Okay."

Then on to the next thing as the attention span on the bowling thing comes to an end (until big brother reminds him that it's time to go bowling!).

Andrew: (5 minutes later) Mommy, I thought you were going bowling with us!"

These two boys are crazy! See ya later alligator...

Big Brother vs. Little Brother

We were hanging out this morning and Phillip asked if we could play Cootie. The last time we tried to play with Andrew, he got upset when he didn't roll the numbers he needed and he quit halfway through the game, so I told Phillip that Andrew wasn't quite old enough to play with us yet and if we started playing, he would definitely want to join us, so we would play it later when we were by ourselves. Phillip walks over to Andrew and says,

"Andrew, do you want to go sleep more?"

HA! Nice try big brother, but the offer of sleep is not going to entice your little brother to leave you alone to play a game with mom!

Uh-Oh, We're in Trouble

We're all in the car one day with the radio on and a Michael Buble song comes on and Chris turns it up...

Chris: Phillip, you hear this singer? You need to sing like him when you grow up.
Phillip: What?!?
Chris: He sounds good, you need to learn to sing like this.
Phillip: Sing like this?? No Way!! I'm gonna be a rock star and ROCK OUT (while strumming his air guitar)!

Oh, boy...see ya later alligator.

Christmas in July

Fun in the tub...

Andrew as Santa Claus or Kenny Rogers or Colonel Sanders!

It's even funnier when he's talking because you just can't capture his inflections in print.

Gee, Thanks Phillip

Phillip and I were walking hand in hand into Sam's Club the other night. He then wrapped his hand and arms around my arm and leaned his head on my arm as we walked. Then, he started rubbing my arm, looked up at me, smiled, and said,

"I like your fur mommy, it's soft."

I said, "Gee, thanks Phillip" and then started laughing hysterically. See ya later alligator...

Hold Your Horses!

Andrew was eating breakfast this morning and, after just a few bites, decided he was done and wanted to get down. I was sitting next to him doing something else...

Andrew: I'm done, I want to go play. I'm done Mommy, I want to go play! Mommy, I'm done!

Me: Hold your horses Andrew.

Andrew: (very indignant) I'm not a horsee Mommy, I'm Andrew. Silly Mommy! (shakes his head smiling)

Thanks for clearing that up for me Andrew! See ya later alligator...
