Its been more than 2 years since my last “Conversations with a Toddler” post. Once upon a time they were a pretty popular read, and I still LOVE going back and looking at all the silly things that Bridget used to say.<\/p>\n

Well, now Spencer is staying all kinds of funny stuff… and I simply must record some of it!!<\/p>\n

Now… Spencer’s debut!<\/p>\n

Dad is my Boy<\/strong>
\nT: I love you! Thanks for being my boy!
\nS: Sorry mom. Dad is my boy.
\nT: But YOU can be my boy, right?
\nS: No. DAD is my boy
\nT: Right. Dad is your boy, and you are my boy!
\nS: No mom. Sorry mom.
\nT: Well, can I at least be your girl?
\nS: No. Girls can’t be boys.
\nT: Oh, So I can just be your mom then?
\nS: Yea. That’s it. You are my mom.
\nT: Thanks. I love you! Sleep good.
\nS: Am love you too!<\/p>\n

The drain in my mouth<\/strong>
\nS: Mom! My cough drop is gone.
\nT: Uh-oh. Did you lose it? Swallow it? Where did it go?
\nS: It go-ed down the drain in my mouth.
\nT: Ah. So you swallowed it?
\nS: Yea. Am swallowed it, down, down in the drain in my mouth.<\/p>\n

The rock in my nose<\/strong>
\nT: Spencer, you need to get a tissue. You have a big ‘ol snot bug.
\nS: No mom. Him lives there!
\nT: Who lives there? In your nose?
\nS: That snot bug. Him lives on the rock in my nose.<\/p>\n

Boys Pee outside<\/strong>
\nS: Me and Dad are boys. Means we can pee outside.
\nT: Yep. That’s true.
\nS: You are a girl. You can’t pee outside.
\nT: Aww! Really? (acting terribly disappointed)
\nS: Really mom, only boys can.
\nT: What if I am camping then can I pee outside?
\nS: No. Can’t.
\nT: Well, what if I’m camping and I need to go potty?
\nS: You not a boy mom!
\n\u00a0 Dave whispering “Tell her she can squat by a tree. That’s different than peeing outside.”<\/em>
\nS: You can squat by tree mom. That different. Its different.
\nT: Oh. I see. Are you sure I can’t pee outside?
\nS: Yea. …long pause…<\/em> Sorry Mom. Sorry.<\/p>\n

What means words?<\/strong>
\nT: Man, you sure are getting big. Who said you could get bigger?
\nS: Dad did.
\nT: Dad said you could get bigger? I’m gonna have to have some words with him.
\nS: What means words?
\nT: It means I need to talk to him about letting you get bigger, because I think you should stay little.
\nS: Am 3. On my next birthday am will be 4, and am will go to school like Bridget.
\nT: You are just going to keep growing aren’t you?
\nS: Yep. Am are.<\/p>\n

Other\/Misc…\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dave teaches the 11-year old scouts at Church so when you ask Spencer what he wants to be when he grows up he responds as follows:
\nD: Spencer, what do you want to be when you grow up?
\nS: A Scout!<\/p>\n

He tends to say “am” when referring to himself. Some examples of things he says:
\nS: “Am done did it”
\nS: “Am are big”
\nS: “Am just… ”<\/p>\n
