Many of my posts these days have been birthed from things the Redhead has said or done. After all, I do spend most of my waking hours with him. The latest things he has done and said have sent me into hysterics - who knew 2 1/2 could be so incredibly funny!
It's hard to say who he gets his sense of humor from. The other evening while Mr. Baseball was flipping channels we came across Grease. Great movie...but not one of Mr. Baseball's faves. He said (and I quote), "I don't know why you like movies like this. Ones like Grease and Lipstick..." I shot him this weird look and started laughing hysterically once I realized he had meant "Hairspray". Oh well, to a man I guess cosmetics are all the same. But I digress...
The other day I sent Mr. Baseball to Wal-Mart to pick up some items and as he was leaving I leaned out the storm door and shouted..."Adam, get some bread please." Then the next day as Mr. Baseball was leaving to take something back to a neighbor, Redhead leaned out the storm door and shouted..."Hey Adam, get some bread please!" I thought I would literally wet my pants laughing.
Other cute redheaded moments have included words ending in "-ing". This is what I shall refer to as the "-ing" factor. Many times I have said things to Redhead like..."when you're done napping..." or "when you finish eating...". He has taken this to a more creative level, adding "ing" to words as he deems it necessary. For instance...
1) We were at church dropping something off and had to wait a few minutes. As I am strapping him back into his carseat when we're done he says..."Mommy...all done churching?"
2) Playing at the park is one of his favorite things to do. Recently we visited a park we'd never been to before and after he'd had his fill he sweetly told me..."Mommy, all done parking."
3) My favorite happened the other day when I was making coffee and he wanted me to play cars with him. I told him that I was making coffee and I would be there in a minute. His response was..."Mommy, all done coffee-ing pway cars?". Priceless.
How could a mom not love this?

9 coins in my pocket:
I love to recall the things my kids have said, too.
I spent last Saturday watching old home movies of Michael when he was Redhead's age. I didn't spend near as much time watching Lauren's or Emily's. Why? You ask? Because I only have 2 tapes of Lauren and 1/2 of a tape for Emily. First child.....They get all the attention. I have like 8-9 full video tapes of Michael as a baby. I had to fast forward through most of the first 8 months because he just lays there. The cutest are when he can walk and talk. I really need to start videoing again.....sigh.....
Do you know for sure it it's a girl???
That is hilarious- I love my nephew and can't wait to see him!
I hope he is NEVER "all done parking." Because that would mean he was parking. Ahem. A no-no.
I love that Adam called Hairspray "lipstick."
There really are SO many nouns that would make fabulous verbs! He's got a good jump on that! ;-)
Aw, I love those! He is so cute!
that is hilarious! I laughed out loud especially with the bread shout out! Too sweet!
any divulging of whether homer is a homer or a homerette, as the case may be?
just curious. saw that the 29th was to be a big day for you...
karin
They grow up so fast, but they still say the funniest things...
I sure hope that things are going great for you, any word on the little homer?
Oh yes. 2 1/2 is a delicious age!
