Clean Pajamas

It occurred to me after this that I might need to properly dress the kids more often, even if we have nowhere to go.

Me: "Come here, Nan.  Let's put on some clean pajamas."
Landon: "Where are we going?"

Insult

Landon, mad at AJ: "You are [looking around, searching for words]...you are a FARTER!!"

Pirate Booty

Landon: "These underwear are on backwards."
Me: "Let me see.  No, buddy, these are right.  The dinosaur goes on your butt."
Landon: "Not my butt.  My pirate."
Me: "Your what? Your pirate?"
Landon: "Yeah.  The dinosaur goes on my pirate. [Long pause, devilish grin] My booty!"

I Am Not Loving You

Me (singing): "We love Landon, yes we do, yes we do."
Landon: "NO!!!  I am NOT loving you today."
Me: "What!?  Why?"
Landon: "Because.  Not right now. But you can love Prophet, though."
Me: "But I want to love YOU!"
Landon: "Oh.  Sorry then."
Me: "..."

Tinkerbell is Touching the Cereal Box

Landon: "Dad!  AJ is touching my bowl and the cereal box."
AJ: "I'm not AJ.  I'm Tinkerbell."
Landon: "Dad!  Tinkerbell is touching my bowl and the cereal box!"
Dad: "Ok, son.  Duly noted."

Idea

Me: "What should we have for dinner?"
AJ: "Dinner?"
Me: "Yeah.  Do you have any ideas?"
AJ: "YES!  I have an idea!  I could put a bucket on my head!"

Donuts for Dinner

Starting in 2012 we've had an annual "Donuts for Dinner" tradition on January 1.  This year AJ was very confused and a little upset:

Him: "We can't have donuts for dinner."
Me: "Yes, we can."
Him: "No. We can't.  We can have donuts for breakfast.  But we do not eat donuts for dinner."

He certainly didn't mind too much, though!

Mighty D'Queen

Landon is finally losing his baby talk, but I never want to forget that Lightening McQueen from the Pixar Cars movies used to be "Mighty D'Queen at my house."

Clipper Finger

Landon's term for a fingernail that needs to be trimmed: "clipper finger"

Aidyn Eat My Finger

Landon, waking from a bad dream in the middle of the night, was crying in his room and in a little bit of a panicked state.  Donnie went to his side and knelt down, trying to comfort him.  He asked what was wrong and Landon gave us a glimpse into a 3-year-old's nightmares: "Aidyn eat my finger!!!"
