Funny boy

I just wanted to list a few cute things that Clay has said in the past few weeks.

  • I made some hair bows and headbands for my niece and was commenting at dinner how I hoped to have a little girl of my own someday. Clay said "Hey Mom, maybe when I'm a daddy my woman will have a baby girl."
  • Clay was coloring and asked me "Mom, will you write 'burp' on this paper?" I thought that was a little weird, but typical of a little boy. I did as he requested, and then he asked "Mom, now can you write Ernie... you know like Burp and Ernie?"
  • He really has a hard time making the J sound and so he refers to Jack as Aackie Poo.
  • I was telling Clay how one day, when he is a daddy, he will have his own house without Mom and Dad or Jack. He got a really concerned and sad look on his face and then said,"But Mom, I won't know how to find my house".
  • Clay likes to watch American Idol with me. During the commercial breaks, he stands on the fireplace and pretends he is a contestant. He says, "The next person on AmericDal Ido is Dayton Micho Edwedge" and then he'll make up some silly song about what he did that day.
  • I found a timer in a box with all of my old cosmetology stuff. I thought that it would be a great thing to use for time-outs and to limit t.v. watching. So, yesterday I was working on a project and Clay kept asking me to get a toy down for him. I kept saying, "just a minute. Let me finish what I'm doing first." He ran and got the timer, set it on the table I was working at and said,"Mom, you've got ten minutes."

Ahhh! too cute! It's so good that you're writing this stuff down because he'll have a hilarious time reading about it when he's older. We had a great time yesterday, and I've decided you have to teach me how to make one of those "Be Grateful" things hanging in your hallway.

Those are hilarious! I love the way children think.
