"This is Silas. He's my friend. He's precious. He's a good boy. He eats baby food."
- Luke
"I miss my friend Daddy, and I'm sad."
- Luke, after Daddy left for work early this morning before he woke up
Daddy: "Who is Jesus's daddy?"
Luke: "God."
Daddy: "And what does Jesus say when you ask him to come into your heart?"
Luke: "Sure!" {pronounced 'show-ah'}
Daddy: "And where does God live?"
Luke: "Paris."
- Q&A with Luke
Paris has become a big topic of conversation lately. Aunt Tiffany lives there. Pansy and Poppy go visit Aunt Tiffany over there. Uncle Josh and Aunt Lauren just got back from there. And Uncle Josh and Aunt Leah will soon be going there. It cracks me up that Paris has become as accessible a place as the grocery store. But yes, Luke, God does live there, too. :)
Mommy: "Now Luke, when Silas starts crawling we're going to have to look out for him and make sure that he doesn't try to crawl down the stairs, okay? Because he could fall and hurt himself."
Luke: "He must be a boy."
- Luke
Luke: "Ew! What's that smell?"
Mommy: "I don't know. What does it smell like?"
Luke: "Smells like air. But I don't like it."
- Luke, smelling things I could never smell
Luke: "Oh! The bird flew away, Mommy! Did you see it?"
Mommy: "No, I didn't."
Luke: "Well...you'll have to see it soon, okay?"
- Luke
Luke: "Daddy, you're not wearing a lot of hair. You can see your ears. But Mommy's wearing a lot of hair. You can't see her ears. I have a little bit of hair. I can see my ears."
Mommy: "How about Silas?"
Luke: "He has plenty."
- Luke
A little more of the "hair" conversation...
Luke: "We have brains in our hair. And it hurts, too."
Mommy: "What hurts? Your brain? How?"
Luke: "You put your fingers down in your hair like this, and it hurts."
- Luke, digging his fingers into his scalp
"Oh, look! It's the number of the day!"
- Luke, after seeing the order number given to our restaurant table
"Mommy, you are so big! I wish I was bigger, and bigger, and bigger, and bigger, and bigger, and bigger so I could be as big as you!"
- Luke, encouraging me to lose some of my post-pregnancy weight
Luke: "I think Zoe talked to me!"
Mommy: "She did? What did she say?"
Luke: "She say, 'Hi, Luke! How are you?'"
- Luke
Daddy: "See you later, alligator...After a while, crocodile...Hit the road, horny toad..."
Luke: "See you soon, frog!"
- Luke and Daddy
Luke: "Oh, we're going this way! You go the wrong way, Daddy?"
Daddy: "No, this is just a different way."
Luke: "Oh! This is a different way, Mommy."
- Luke, responding from experience as if Mommy was driving
Luke: "Mommy, what's that sound?"
Mommy: "It's thunder."
Luke: "It sounds like an alligator walking...BOOM...BOOM...BOOM."
- Luke
Mommy: "Luke, go back to sleep. It's too early to wake up."
Luke: "I'm trying to be a chicken."
- Luke, after being caught singing/cluck-clucking at some ridiculously early hour of the morning
"Mommy, look! It's fruit salad!"
- Luke, pointing to a picture of Santa Claus on one of our Christmas cards...I have no idea.
Luke: "Jesus loves me!"
Mommy: "Yes, He does!"
Luke: "And He made the sun and moon..."
Mommy: "He sure did! Who told you that?"
Luke: "Jesus."
- Luke. Well okay, then.
Luke: "Mommy, you come play trains with me?"
Mommy: "Sure. After I finish feeding Silas."
Luke {in the process of running upstairs}: "Okay. You finish Silas. I go upstairs and wait for you."
Mommy: "What are you going to do while I feed Silas?"
Luke: "Yell for you."
{about 2 minutes later} "Mooooooommy! Come up! Mommy! Come up, Mommy!"
- Luke, a man of his word
"Zoe says: 'It's time to play now, Luke.'"
- Luke, after eating lunch and ready to get down from the table
Luke: "Mommy, can you jump on there?"
Mommy {taking the controller, and after a couple of minutes...}: "Luke, I just don't think I can get up there."
Luke: "Try, Mommy, try. Just try."
- Luke and Mommy playing Luke's first video game
Okay, so everyone has probably already seen the video on Luke's introduction to the wonderful world of video games. It has balls, jumping, etc. Perfect for him. And for those of you gamers out there, it's a lot like Marble Madness.
Well, he took to it like hot grease to a griddle. He messed around with it for an hour (an hour!) before we finally told him he had to go take a bath and go to bed. And in the process of being on the same level for an hour (an hour!), he happened to find one of the game's first easter eggs. So...the above quote was a result of him being unable to reach it, and subsequently, myself. The following conversation then ensued...
Mommy: "Luke, I really don't think I can get up there."
Luke: "Okay, Mommy. I'll go get Daddy."
I can see how things are going to go in our house.
