Cute Sayings of the Week

Santa Related:

Brady knows various holiday songs and his favorite is Santa Claus is Coming to Town. He said to me the other night "I was on the naughty list, but now I am on the nice list and I will try to stay there until Christmas. No emails from my teacher like my friend's mom will be getting (and like the one I saw a couple weeks ago)." Too bad he is only promising until Christmas!

According to Connor "If Santa can't find a toy in the store, it's no big deal because he can go back to his workshop and build it." Oh great - now what is Santa supposed to do?? I personally think that Santa needs an upgrade to the times. I mean, Santa is far more efficient these days with stock piling the good deals through the year and taking advantage of online shopping deals. Also, according to a friend of mine, Santa is not immune to the recession and may have needed to downsize his workforce.

Baby Related:

Brady lifts up my shirt and tells me that when my belly button is all the way out, that is when baby Claire is ready to come out. (Great - now I'm a turkey! He also thinks that is where she comes out...but we won't go there.)

Connor comments that he really loves me a lot since I am his mommy and I make babies. (Glad to know I am good for something)

Connor is practicing for his role as the biggest brother (or fatherhood) these days. Brady has earned the spot of guinea pig. Lately, we will hear Connor talking to Brady like he is the parent.

• "Brady, there is no reason to get upset if I beat you at getting dressed, because I didn't get upset when you beat me. That is no reason to get upset."
• "Brady, if you eat one more bite of your sandwich, it's okay if you don't eat your other items. Just take one more bite - that's all I ask"
• "Brady, I don't want to see you smile. Don't let me see that smile. I am starting to see a smile under there." (Brady stops whining and starts laughing at Connor instead with this one)
