Chase is our fiery boy. I used to write his funny quotes down all the time, but it seems as though lately there aren’t as many, because everything he says now is logical! But he still amuses us from time to time.
I think every kid says funny things in their prayers. Day before yesterday, Chase was blessing our food and he poured out his soul, saying among other things, “Please help the husbands to find wives, and the wives to find husbands.” He often prays that none of us will get sick ever again.
He doesn’t remember his dreams much, but when he does, they’re intense. He told me recently that he had a nightmare in which we were going into Shredder’s round attack ball and there were lasers and a tv that had us on camera. He accidentally walked into the laser, and the tv started yelling, “Chase! Chase! Chase!” He said it was really scary.
I love it when he plays “dogs” with Charlotte, and they both scamper around on all fours, whimpering and barking.
He sometimes comes up to Charlotte and exclaims in a high-pitched voice, “Hi, Charlotte! It’s me, Brother!” and he hugs her, then she screams and pushes him away. I’m so glad he’s good to his little sister. He likes to call Charlotte nicknames like “Tiny”, “Jelly Bean”, “Baby”, and refers to her as “my sister.”
He has definite style opinions, as you can see in the way he dresses. I wish I could dress him like a sweet little boy doll, but it just doesn’t work that way! He likes to help Charlotte and me pick out our clothes. Yesterday he said, “You should wear the other flip flops, Mom. They’re prettier.”
He misses Disneyworld a lot. He was looking at our photos and kept saying, “I wish I was still there.” Also, when I was in the bathroom yesterday, he came in holding a wallet and pretended to hand me something, saying, “Here’s my Fast Pass for the bathroom.” I guess he got used to the idea of Fast Passes to get to the front of the line!
