funny things he says!

so this kid of mine- he's so funny some days!
in recent weeks we have gotten to a wonderful point in childhood.
you know- there one where the the 3 3/4 yr. old can get up and get his breakfast out of the fridge (breakfast consists of cereal bar or two, nuts, cheese and juice). so once i give the okay for him to get out of bed...wait...FIRST every morning he wakes be saying "can i get up now?" 5 secs. later: "MOM!!!! CAN I GET UP NOOOOOOOW?" to which i reply "hummphashs"....so the he goes in gets the breakfast and presses the red smiley face (oh yes i thought this through) on the tv....and presto!! Noggin appears...AND more importantly- mommy (the night owl) gets to sleep until.....
so this has been going on for a few weeks....well of course he doesn't follow the "don't take food in the living room" or "your juice stays in the kitchen" rules. so this morning i actually got out of bed BEFORE he woke-up (a peaceful yoga time-YES!). so after he watches a couple of minutes of tv and i am about to get in the shower.....
he looks at me and says:
"mommy...can you go back to bed now?" as he looks back and forth between the "bars" and the door...
AC -"why?"
MAC- "you need to go take a rest"
AC- "what? why do i need to take a rest?"
MAC-" you just need to go take a rest so you will feel better."
AC- "ummm-hmm...so do i need to take a rest so that you can take your bar into the living room?"
MAC "yes m'am"
i couldn't believe the little RAT!!! of course he says things like this all the time....but he never ceases to amaze me!! ha!
so while i am in the shower i ask him to feed the dog- which he does (are those angels singing? i only had to ask once!!)
when i get out i go into the kitchen and find "baby tapir" ( go diego go!) sitting on the table with apple juice poured into his bowl i call MAC and ask
"what were wee doing here?"
MAC- "i feed him too! and he was thirsty so i gave him some apple juice to help him feel better!" he was so proud with himself and being so sweet about it that i just assked him to "clean" it up and try not to make such a mess the next time.
so we continue to get ready to leave the house. we were going to a play date with some friends.
it has been really cold here the last few days. so he says
"are you wearing your gloves, mommy?"
AC "yes i am"
MAC "not those gloves mommy!!! you need to get the ones that daddy bought you from lowes!"
the ones from lowes were a christmas present of gardening gloves!! hahahah!!! i suppose i will hav eot explian how the hubby got away with THAT gift in another post!
