two-year-old talk

So Miles says some of the cutest things. At least as his mom I think he's pretty dang cute. Here are just two examples to share.

One morning a while back I gave Miles a bagel with jam for breakfast. He ate his bagel then came to me and pointed to his knees which had smears of jam on them. He said, "Miles have jam owies."

Yesterday we started talking about flat tires for some reason. I told him that sometimes nails get stuck in tires and make them flat. Miles thoughtfully looked at his fingernails and repeated what I said with one minor difference, "Fingernails stuck in tires make them flat."

Silly kid. I love talking with him. It's a glimpse into a two-year-old's view of the world.

The Boring Family said...: Morgan's latest...it just made Brian and I laugh. We were getting ready for bed on Tuesday night and Brian shut the light off in the family room. We hear from the other side of the door, "Light on, Please." So, Brian turned the light switch back on. We then hear, "Thank you." Of course, Morgan didn't win in the end and the light went off and we went to bed, but, hey, at least she used her manners!; July 31, 2008 at 12:07 PM

Quotes 2016

Clay was jumping from tile to tile in our kitchen, then kind of spinning on each tile, careful to stay within the square shape of each tile. I asked, "What are you doing?" and Clay responded, "I'm square dancing!"

Clay, said every time he prays: "Help us to be like the Gospel."

Clay, said another time he prayed for each person in our family that they could "do good" in either school or work when he got to me he said: "...Please bless mom that she can go to the gym." I guess that sticks out to him!

We were walking into Wells Fargo when Paige saw a man with shoulder length hair and a beard getting into his car. I was holding Paige and she grabbed my face and turns my head toward the man. Then she says, "Mom, there's Jesus!" (November 2016)

Paige: "I look like nursery!" She said this as she looked at herself in the mirror after I got her dressed for church and had just finished doing her hair. (March 2017)

"remembery" -Clay (Memory) October 2017

Joey, asking Paige: "Should I grow a prickly beard or shave and have soft cheeks?"

Paige, jumping up and down answers: "A sparkly beard!" (September 2017)

In school Miles was learning about the Great Depression. He was talking on and on about it to me and started talking about Herbert Hoover and Franklin Roosevelt. He was trying to tell me about the president known as FDR (Roosevelt) but instead he kept saying, "KFC" I couldn't figure out what he meant until he said, "You know, he was president after Hoover, everybody called him KFC". I had to explain he was actually known as FDR! (October 2017)
