TED(DY) TALKS

I love a good TED talk but today I wanted to share a few recent gems from our two-year-old son Teddy. He is talking nonstop these days and cracks us all up on the daily, so I started jotting down some of his one-liners for my own memory and thought I’d share a few with all of you because they’re so sweet! I hope it brings a little smile to your face. 🙂

I went to Teddy’s classroom to be the “mystery reader” in December and read a book about the North Pole. Teddy pointed to one of Santa’s elves and burst out, “Who’s that little fellow?!”

He’s pretty cooperative about wearing whatever I pick out for him, except when it comes to his shoes — he often wants to wear rain boots when it’s not raining, etc. The past two months have been full of “no, Mommy, need my cozy boots!” referring to this pair that I’m pretty sure he would sleep in if we let him.

One day when I asked if he wanted help getting into his kitchen stand, he told me, “I do it all by yourself.”

“Baby crying! Baby need a Cheez-It!” (He would subsist entirely on these white cheddar Cheez-Its if given the choice.)

The bedtime routine has gotten longer by the day and now involves lots of singing after reading and cuddling: “Mama, sing me a song. No, not that one!”

The other day we were reading a book about a fireman and I asked, “Teddy, what do you think you want to be when you grow up?” And he responded confidently, “A watering can.”

Before bed one night: “Mama, Dada, come cuddle.” Once we’re all squeezed into one of the twin beds in his room: “Ahhh. I’m all together now.”

This week he came home from school with new art projects and I held one up and asked, “Wow, Teddy, who made this?” and he told me, “Jackson, maybe.”

Two nights ago, we were cuddled up in his bed before I put him in his crib and all of a sudden he said, “Mommy, get your hair off my giant head!” No idea where he got that but I’ve been laughing about it ever since.

Have your kids said anything funny recently? I’d love to hear in the comments! ?
