Grant-isms II

Grant was coloring and just said, "Did you know that there's a zipper in your body? Its about this big (holds fingers about an inch apart) and its right by your tummy. That how the baby gets inside your tummy and then it has to rest and get bigger for when its time to come out." Grant's version of the birds and bees. I asked him where he heard that and he said he thought of it all on his own.


Grant just learned about Winnie the Pooh and is fascinated because he's allowed to say Pooh without getting in trouble for potty talk. Every once in a while he tries to sneak in a "Winnie the Pee" and gets a stern look from Mom. I asked him if he knew who the little boy is that hangs out with Winnie the Pooh and he said, "Yes, that Christer the Robin."

(This is Grant getting ready for a battle, he has his Bumbo helmet, kitchen shield and farm silo sword.)

There are somethings that Grant says. They make me smile and I can't bear to correct him. I know that he will eventually figure them out on his own and long gone will be the cute little sayings of his childhood replaced by a big boy with a big attitude. So here are a few of the mixed up sayings of Grant.

• Breafex - This is Grant's word for breakfast. He's been saying it for months now and I love it. It makes me smile every morning.

• Grant had his first exposure to a Star Wars movie the other day. It was the end of "The Empire Strikes Back" and we watched Luke and Darth Vader duel it out. Now all he wants to do is have "light saver" fights and he always gets to be "Sidewalker" and the rest of us, including Avery, get to take turns being Darth Vader.

• One of my favorite syndicated shows is King of Queens. Grant calls it King of McQueens. I wonder if he expects Lightning McQueen to show up sometime.

• Grant loves keeping track of what day it is. The other day he informed me that it was June Twenty-oneth. So cute!

• We have been listening to a Mickey Mouse CD in the car lately and Grant sings "Where oh where has my little dog gone." But he sings "...And his ears got short and his tail got long..."

I'm going to keep track of any wonderful new sayings and keep posting!
