Party in my tummy!

Recently we told Calvin that when he ate the food had a party in his tummy (Yo Gabba Gabba anyone?) He thought that was great, but then he looked at us and said something like, "My food has a party in my tummy, and then my food has a party in my poop!"

Basic biology from the mouth of a three-year-old.

Keep it up kid! I'm cracking up just remembering.

Calvin's famous (infamous?) sayings ...

So, I keep hearing things from Calvin that I want to post, but I have been terrible about posting. I also have pictures and stories to tell, but it just hasn't happened. Sorry my handful of readers! So, here is a bit from the mouth of Calvin:

Me: Calvin, how can you tell that Maddie is a girl?
Calvin: Because she has a big tummy.
Me: Is Mommy a girl?
Calvin: Yes.
Me: Does Mommy have a big tummy too?
Calvin: No, your tummy is getting smaller - you need to eat more breakfast.

I will consider that!

Uncle Rick: See Calvin, there is a Magic Wall and Scout (their big german shepherd that Calvin was afraid of) can't go past it.
Calvin: Mommy, I want that Magic Wall to kill that doggy.

Violent tendencies!

Calvin: My knees are getting huge, gigantic.
Me: Your knees?
Calvin: Yes, I is growing big, big like Daddy.

You would notice knee growth.

That is all that is coming to me tonight, but I will try to get some more of these out.

Yummy Food

Recently Calvin came to me and said something like, "I don't like it when you make yucky food for dinner, I like yummy food for dinner."

Well well!

So, I asked him what yummy food he liked for dinner. His answer - "CANDY!!"

Right, we'll see what we can do about that.

Lyrics

The other day I asked Calvin to sing to Maddie. He started by singing that he didn't want to sing, but he was soon into his song and he really got into it. Chris and I busted up when we realized that what he was crooning (with a lot of passion) was, "game ooooooverrrrrrr!" - over and over = ). Time to cut back on the video games.

Creative Wordplay

Last Friday Kyra made us some tasty turkey and dumpling soup before we left on our way back to Utah. We asked Calvin if the soup was good and he immediately answered, "its 'licious!" Then he thought about it and said, "its nummy - its nummilicious!" Pretty expressive - I love it! And, just for the record - Kyra, it WAS nummilicious = )

And Calvin said ...

Calvin likes to say the Darndest Things and I thought I had better start sharing some of them. We'll start with today. I was singing along to the The Lion King and Calvin covered his ears and said, "hurts ears mommy!" Am I really that bad?! I'll try to remember to keep updating this = ).
