Overheard conversations with my 4-year-old:
[Self-portrait]
Son 1 (laughing): Dude, you are such a goofball! You make me laugh!!
Son 2 (age 4): Please. PLEASE. Don't mock my pain.
****************
Family Friend: Wow! I can't believe you cleaned up this messy room all by yourself!
Son 2: I know! Can you believe my life?? G-L-A-M...
*****************
Son 2: Mommy, can Phoebe and I go ride bikes?
Phoebe: Actually [Littlest Eclectic], I wanna stay and do puzzles.
Mom: What do you think about staying and doing puzzles with Phoebe?
Son 2: I think it sounds like a whole lotta NOT RIDING BIKES.
******************
Pre-school Teacher (to another student): Your mom is here and I think you need to put your toys away now.
Son 2 (to same student): Oh man... welcome to my world.

Bwahahahaha! Good GRIEF! Tell you what, let's put my 5 year old and your 4 year old in a room and just sit back and *listen*... well, and take notes so we can blog it all. :)
Ohmygoodness. What a little character!
Gawd, I LOVE four year olds! My most favorite age, for real!
His self portrait is priceless!
HA! "Welcome to my world". I love this kid!
are you kidding me? he started singing fergie ferg? i must meet this magnificent boy!
oh man, i love other people's kids.
They can make witty commentary by 4? Man, I've got a lot to learn.
That little guy is so cute!
Priceless. You had me at "don't mock my pain."
CK: OOoooooh, that sounds PERFECT! My house or yours? Better yet: McDonald's!!!
Sooze: Yeah, and Syd is right on his heels in that department, I'm betting!
Traci: Four beats the heck outta three, for certain. And yeah, my husband wanted to delete the photo, but I said no way -- think of the blackmail potential later!!
Nilbo: He is a mess. Welcome to MY world. :)
Jenny: It's the older sibs keeping him current with pop culture. Personally, I was just grateful he didn't burst out with Fergilicious.
Kat!: Enough to take one of mine? KIDDING!! (maybe...)
Zuhn: Seriously! The Sweet Pea will be very educational for you, I think.
Packof2: Thanks! I think so, but then... I'm his mom. :)
Dustin: I know, right??
back in my day, kids didn't reach puberty til 12 or 13. they grow up so much faster nowadays. i blame the internet.
Oh my goodness! That's the best laugh I've had all week!
All of your kids are so precocious. He is a little trip. :-)
/\: Ooooh, can I blame the internet for why they drink, too? Wait. That's not funny.
HTGT: Glad to help! He really does keep us all laughing, except for when we remember that we'll be AARP-aged before he graduates.
Squirl: He'd love to see his Auntie Squirl and Uncle Ichabod again. (hint, hint)
McD's! Excellent! Um... which one?
CK: You mean, there's more than one?
I love it! What I love most is that he's not making this stuff up out of the blue. HE'S REPEATING EVERY UTTERANCE THAT COMES FROM YOUR MOUTH.
So far the bast part of having a 3 year old: he is a constant source of entertainment. The things they say is of the chart funny. As you know.
Don't mock my pain...hysterical!
I love it. And I love you, Shari.
Someday I'm going to have to meet this kid. He's awesome.
Does he get the sracasm from his mom or Dad?
Who are you laughing at?
Peefer: You've been spying again, haven't you?
Mad William: Isn't it fun?! I'm telling you, every stage just gets better.
Matt: Back atcha. :) Seven Devils, Summer '08. You in?
William: Hmmmm... I'm sure I have no idea what you're talking about.
William: You. To be specific, those sunglasses ON you. Hilarious!
Oh I so love that age! Can I be their auntie? "Welcome to my life" is going to be cracking me up for a long time to come.
Littlest Eclectic is my role model. I know he may only be four years old, but I want to be just like him when I grow up.
Kids say the darndest things! I especially like the "whole lotta not bike riding" !!
Ha - hilarious!
I love love love it! Kids say the cutest and funniest things.
Oh dear...you are in the presence of A CHARACTER right there! Wow!
"Don't mock my pain." = classic
Yep. Write ‘em down and remember them now, ‘cause when the little Electics become teens you’ll need something to remember why you love the things they say (and do).
I hope you're writing some of this stuff down, it will make for good blackmail material later in life.
Watch! He'll be a comedian. Quick wit that that is too awesome to go to waste.
Nina: Honey, you've been their Auntie Nina for a long time, now. They know they're going to get to visit you the next time we go to Colorado to see family, so it's a done deal. You're stuck! :)
Vahid: You're not going to grow up are you? Crap! Who will play pinball with me??
Ortizzle: Honestly? That one was my favorite too, just because of the delivery. He was so perfectly deadpan... hysterical!
Kalki: He's a crack up!
Lawbrat: Aren't they goofy?! How are you, kiddo? I miss you.
Mo/Dis: One liners delivered almost as well as when you give 'em. :)
Nick: That's why I put it on here -- so if I forget, all of you guys can remind me!
TysGirl: Write? Like, on paper?? HAHA! Girl, this blog is as close to a baby book as any of these poor kids will ever have. Sadly, I will never be scrapbook mother of the year. *sigh*
Krank: He really does keep us laughing, but sometimes I think it's just us... we're easily amused. :)
We miss you SO much!!!! We need a weekend with the girls and since you're one of the two of them....when can we make this happen??? We miss you two so, SO much!
I was already having an asthsmatic attack when I stopped in. Should have waited.
:)
