Chase:
- "Aren’t I a genius?!”
- (I like to put gel in his hair, but he opposes.) Once, when he was headed to preschool he said, “I want to keep it flat, so the girls will like it.”
- Then another time, I told him we needed to at least put water on his hair before school, because it was really messy after waking up. I was surprised when he consented, saying, “Oh yeah. I noticed it was sticking up earlier. The girls wouldn’t like it like that.”
– (he saw a cool toy in a catalog & suddenly burst out: “I want that so bad, I can’t even go anywhere! I just have to stand here until I buy it!” (Needless to say, he did not get to order the toy.)
Charlotte:
- “Of course, Mom!”
- Chase hides & tells her to come find him, and she hollers back to him, “No. I’m too busy.”
- She also thinks that “busy” is what you say for “dizzy.” So she’ll spin around and say, “Whoa! Busy!”
- “Oopsies Daisies.”
– (upset & frowning): “Chase hit me ONE TIME!”
- “Oh. Yes.” (says it all the time, very cheerfully/matter-of-factly)
