Kaden'isms and Dalton'isms That Make Me Laugh

** Kaden had a very difficult time saying the word pillow. Until recently, it came out as pwiddle or pliddle. The other day, I was a little sleepy and I was joking with Kaden that I needed a pwiddle to lay my head on. He got huffy with me and said, "Mom, it's piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii-llow. Not pwiddle or pliddle!" *sigh* His pre-k teachers teach too well.

** Dalton loves the movie Finding Nemo. He especially loves Bruce the Shark. "Fish are friends, not food!" Knowing about his love for sharks, I've recently checked out a few shark books from the library for him, and also just got him a National Geographic children's book on sharks. He calls them "shark fish". Just like there are clown fish, there are "shark fish" in the sea too!

** Both boys, like so many other children, like the Toy Story movie. Dalton has a pair of Toy Story pajamas with Buzz Lightyear on them. One night, while getting them all jammied up, I asked Dalton who was on his jammies: "BUZZ LIGHTBEER!!!", he replied. Kaden, the all-knowing big brother said, "it's not Buzz Light Beer, it's Buzz Light YEAR!"

** We recently acquired a landline telephone after nearly 9 years without one. We didn't miss it, but figured that with the kids getting older, we should have a landline phone. We've been working on phone etiquette with Kaden. Often, I will call from work to relay information to my husband since we work opposite shifts. Kaden usually beats Paul to the phone, and when I ask to speak with Daddy, will always say, "OK, Mom...but when you're done talking at Dad, can you talk back to me?" I wonder if he realizes that there will come a day when he doesn't want to be "talked back at" by his Mom?

There are so many more 'isms', but it's been a long day. More to come! My kids are as full of it as I am!
