Nolan just licked my face, looked at it carefully, then gave a satisfied nod and said "There!" Not sure what that was about ...

As we were pulling up to church, I asked Nolie if he was excited for primary. His answer was "No, I don't want to go play in primary. I'm just frustrated, and I only need to play with frustrated people!"

Ok

"Mom, my tongue just jumped outta my mouf, and turned into a crab! It made me sad!"

I started singing "flower gleam and glow ..." when Nolie says to me "Stop singin that song mom! Yer only allowed to sing that song if yer hair glows, and yours DOES NOT!!"

N: Are these my green jams?
M: Yeah, they're your camo jams!
N: Do dey have camels on em?
M: No, camo.
N: No dey don't, dey have grass and green water on em!

Nolan just pretended to take a bite out of my arm. Then he says "mmm, tastes wike fish an cimmamon!"

That's a new one!

After trying to kick me on the couch:
M: We DO NOT kick! One day this will get through to your brain!
N: But I don't have a brain!
M: What happened to it??
N: Gramma took it, it's at her house.
M: Why does Gramma have it?
N: She's just pwayin wif it. Ok?

N: Do you wanna taste of dat honey on yer head mommy?
M: Of course!
N: Then take yer tongue out from yer mouf, an wick it on yer head!
M: *laughing*
N: Now say "Dat's a genius, Nowie!"

Nolie just turns to me and says "Kiss me, Oh king of a monsters!" Then he closes his eyes and puckers up!

(After a GINORMOUS sneeze) I need a kweenex mommy! Hurry, before it melts!!

After we salted the sidewalk outside:

"Wook mommy, snow crumbs!"

I love this kid =)

Mommy, I hurt my bum! I want you a kiss it better!

Awkward ...

When I were in diapers, I lived in a baby!

M: Nolie, let's go put on your church clothes.
N: Cuz we're goin a church?
M: Yeah!
N: Woohoo! I wuv church! It's so e'citing at church, cuz we're goin a see Jesus! Now shake yer booty mommy! Shake it shake it!

I was kind of in a grumpy mood a few minutes ago and Nolie was crawlin all over me, so I told him to stop it! He shakes his finger at me and says "Don't be so gwumpy! Now stop gwumpin wight now!" Yes sir!

N: Mommy, what's dis?
M: A wise man
N: Mommy, what's dis one?
M: Another wise man
N: Two wises mans?? Oh wow, dat's awesome!

Me an you, we're so happy a'gedder (together)!

Aw! Yeah we are :)

Mommy, I'm a cutest big mussows widdow cute'ser EBBER!

For those who need a translation: I'm the cutest big muscles little cutester EVER!

I told Nolie I burned my arm at work today, and he gets the saddest little puppy dog eyes, and with all the sadness he can muster for me, says "Oh no oh no! That's terribow!"

After crawling up to my foot and examining it for a minute, Nolie says "Excuse me big giant toe, I need dis spot! Pwease Pwease!" At least he said please ...

Slightly more graphic than the usual ...

While potty training today:

"Wook mommy! It's a pickow (pickle) poo!"

Indeed ...

Mommy, I'm yer Nowie boy! An yer my mommy girow (girl)!

Mommy, I need some hewp. The toof brushin room is dark!

Mommy, I CRAZY! I had a hard day.

Mommy, you big! And heeeeaby!


I think I mentioned once how good he is
for my self esteem ...

Mommy, I WUF your big arms, dey're boo'fow!

M: (being the cool mom that I am) Nolan, come here, yo!
N: (perplexed look on his face) Mommy, I'm not a yo-yo! I'm Nolie!

Mommy, I need your leg, I'm pwayin "Yeehaw! Howdy Howdy!"

Nolie was just looking at the sun through the clouds and he says "Mommy, there's a moon! The moon is sunny!"

N: Mommy, my hair is maaaad.
M: How come it's mad?
N: It needs some milk. (takes a drink) There! It's happy now!

Milk. It does a body good. And hair.

I just told Nolan that we're getting a new house, and he says "Oh good mommy, this house is wrecked. There's water on a fwoor."

Twinka twinka, widdow 'tar
How a wunner whutchew are
Buppa buppa wereld so high
Wike a dine-in in a 'ky
Twinka twinka widdow 'tar
How a wunner whutchew AAARRRREEEE!!!

Nolan just made this up, out of his own head:

A goat train, a goat train!
Hurry up, a goat train!
Oh boy, oh boy! A goat train!
All aboard!
A GOAT CHOO CHOO TRAAAAIIINNN!!!

I just told Nolie he's gonna be 3 in 3 months, and he says "Yeah! An' 3 Nolie's!"

Oh.

So, just as a little follow up to the last prayer, Nolie threw this lil tidbit into the middle tonight. He was going along as usual, then suddenly he stops, opens one eye, and sneaks a sideways glance at me. Then, REALLY FAST, he yells "AN A CHOO CHOO TRAIN THOMAS!" and then looks back at me to see if I would do anything. I just helped him finish his prayer ... as I'm trying desperately to smother my laughter ... it was awesome.

(worried look on his face) Mommy, my car needs a mommy car!

Grateful ...

Preface: "budyear" = Buzz Lightyear; "Hen Fa'der" = Heavenly Father; and also, Nolan went to Toy Story 3 today. It clearly had an impact on him ...

Nolie's prayer tonight:
Hen Fa'der, 'ankyoo bessings, an budyear, an fam'ee, an budyear, had fun a'day (today), an budyear, seep good, an budyear, good dreams, and budyear, Jesus Christ, AMEN!

It's the little things =)

(In his Buzz Lightyear voice) Hewo mommy, I'm here a re'cue you! Now c'mon, I need a Chris'as tree!

Mommy, my foot a stuck in a mud! Oh no oh no! Oh boy oh boy!

(side note, he stood with his foot stuck in the same spot on the floor for LITERALLY almost 5 minutes! That is a long time for a 2 year old)

(Pushing on my clavicle) Excuse me, I need you to move. MOOOOOVE! (worried look on his face) Mommy, i's not workin!

Mommy, wook at your ears! Dey're bee-oo-tifow!

N: Mommy, I have somepin for you
M: Oh yeah? What's that?
N: Oh, jist a 'nugow wit mommy (snuggle with mommy =)

As I'm walking downstairs: "No mommy, GO 'WAY!" So after I give him "the look", he gets this angelic look on his face and adds "Pweeeeese?"

N: Hey mommy, you wanna pay trains on a fwoor wif me? It'll be fuuuuun!
M: You promise?
N: Of course! Check it out!

Nolan just pulled the plug in his bath. Now he's singing to his bathwater "go away, go away, go away ..."

me: Nolan, you're SO CUTE and I love you to PIECES!
Nolan: I know.

Curb your enthusiasm ...

"Mommy! Thomas (the train) a crashed into your eyes! Sorry Thomas!"

To random guy at the UPS store: "Hey, wanna ride in Nolie's car? Tink about it!"

BEST. JOKE. EVER.

Nolan: knock knock
Me: who's there?
Nolan: banana
Me: banana who?
Nolan: knock knock
Me: who's there?
Nolan: orange
Me: orange who?
Nolan: knock knock (grin slowly spreading across his face)
Me: who's there? (curiouser and curiouser)
Nolan: lion
Me: lion who?
Nolan: AHAhahahahaha (bent over double while slapping his knee repeatedly)

What a crack-up =)

Just listening to Nolan sing "Popcorn Popping" to himself in his bed right now, Steppenwolf style. The hiccups definitely add an interesting twist to the song. I think they're throwing him off as to when the song is actually over, he keeps singing the same lines over and over. Kind of like a record. That's broken.
