Jesus the Alternator

I got a cookie and it's shaped like a ghost!" Mommy; Let me take a picture of you with it. He proceeds to bite one eye off before I do. The result is the photo above!

"Good Job Mommy! Good Catch Mommy! Awesome Catch Mommy!" Thank you. "Oh, you're welcome!"
I taught him to catch a ball today. He also learned how to spike it with two hands.

My son just said Jesus is the Alternator, pointing to our picture of Christ. He then stated; "Jesus is next to the Alternator." He has such an imagination!


My son has a scratch on his thigh. He said a kid bit me in class yesterday! Then he relented "A tiger bit me!" I said, "You're making up lies aren't you?" He shook his head yes! Haha!


My son went pee in his triceratops potty last night. It was only a few drops but it counts! Yay!

"I want to be a girl mommy! I wanted to be a girl last year!"
Mommy:Why would you want to be a girl? Then you have to wear make up, cook and do your hair! "Because I wanna be like Mommy!"
Mommy: Daddy always wanted a boy first he didn't want a girl. I'm glad you're a boy too.Daddy knew you were a boy before I did. You are special.

"I am so handsome!" He said as he's looking at himself brushing his hair.
Mommy: Yes, you are super handsome! I love you Christopher!

"I got a Dinosaur!"
"The Dinosaur doesn't sleep! The Dinosaur no wants to sleep!"
After I said he needs to have a nap. He didn't get a nap today.

"Mommy I'm coming in front of you to keep you warm!" We were walking to a store and were outside, I was bundling up and cold. He hugged me as he said this. I love my sweet son!

We tried on Utah and Y clothes today. He loves all of them, but most of all likes looking at his own face in the mirror! He can't  fit in his 2T winter hats from last year anymore. He loves the old Mohawk like hat he had last year but his head is too big!

Just for Kids!

Remember the old Trix Slogan- Trix are for Kids, not rabbits silly?
Guess what my son said today when I took away his play cars he was banging?

"Cars are not for you, these are toy cars.Cars are just for kids."
I replied; Oh really? I'm writing that down!

Wheels go round and round. (motioning around and around with his hand, not singing the song but saying this with excitement!)

"I win!" He said this after he snuck his toy cars back from me!

"I found the scoop to get that ice cream! Is that better? Is this the chair so me can eat? Can you get me some?!" Daddy: Yes. "Are you sharing with me? Oh thank you! Thank you!"

"2-4-6-8- who do we appreciate, Mommy!" Singing the chant with Daddy after I got him Hot and Sour Soup today.

"I love my Bubby I love my Daddy, I love my Bubby I love my Daddy too!" This is a song Robert made up and sings.

"You not sick anymore!" He said this to me after I told him not to kiss me on my mouth. But, I let him kiss my cheeks.

"Please give me the big Ipad? PWEEEEASE?" Daddy:No. Mommy: If you want nice things from Daddy you need to be nice to Daddy. He had just poked his eye with a toy.

"Dad I want some blue Kool-Aid Juice? PWEAAASE?" Dad: Okay.

"Daddy can have some of my Blue Kool-Aid Juice too?!"

Mommy;Yes, he can. " Do you want some mommy?"

Mommy;  No but thank you for sharing!

Crazy Wednesday!

Guess what happened today?! Well, I woke up around 6 am and couldn't get back to sleep.
It was really windy and I heard my lil guy a little after 7 am saying he was awake.
Anybody want to take a stab at what he did?
He had taken off all of his clothes and his diaper sometime last night or this morning!
I uncovered him and he was a naked J-bird who had peed all over his bed, under his bed and on his mattress and comforter! I was not happy!

I said, "Christopher, Why did you take your diaper and all your clothes off?!"
Christopher; "Because I was cold and Daddy said." Only Daddy never told him to pee in his bed or take his clothes off. He also said; "Because me wasn't wearing an overnight diaper." Which was true because I couldn't find them last night so I put some pampers daytime diaper on him instead. It is very absorbent.
Therefore, I had him take a shower and get cleaned up while I steamvacuumed his bedroom and moved his bed so I could clean under his bed too. Did I mention before I got him in the shower he peed on the hallway carpet? He says, "Me peed on the carpet." So, I had to steamvacuum that up too. And this was while I was asking him if he wanted to try to go potty in his new triceratops potty. He said yes and tried but, he didn't quite make it to the potty in time! Needless to say I'm thankful for the steam vacuum today!

Then, I decided to clean his playroom and take all of the empty wipe and diaper boxes out to the Recycle bin since it's garbage day. While, in this process I decided to use some wood glue to fix his chair. I was smart enough to use it in his carpeted playroom;(sarcasm intended). I inevitably dripped lots of wood glue on the carpet in his room and in the hallway. I cleaned that up with the Steam Vacuum and I am doing lots of laundry this morning from his mess in his bedroom and since I've been sick for 10 days but have been on antibiotics for 3 days now so I'm not contagious anymore.

Today has been my day to catch up for the week I've been sick, and then some! I finally got Netflix to work, for some reason it hasn't worked all morning. But, now it is! I am actually going to class today in a few hours!

And it's only 10:38 AM!

Square Surprise!

"Mommy I have a square surprise for you!" He picks up his blocks and hands me them. They go on top his train.
I love my little guy!

"Food goes in my mouth then out my bum!" "Food goes in your mouth and out your bum!" "And that's when we go poop in the potty like a big boy!" Yes you need to learn to use the big boy potty.  Apparently Daddy taught him what happens with food and his digestive system a few days ago! I said yep, that's right but we don't talk like that when we're eating. It's yucky. We need to say nice words while we are eating.

"Mommmmmmy! Get me out of my room! I no want to nap!" BANG BANG BANG KICK KICK KICK KICK ON HIS DOOR, THROWING THINGS. "No Christopher I'm sorry but you need to nap."
"Me no want to!" Ohhhhhhh :( pout and screaming and kicking and banging continues for a half hour. Then he falls asleep.

I'm sure he'll say more things today when he wakes up from his nap. I'll check back in later.

That sounds really fun!

Today's and October 1's Christopherism's

Oct 1, 2011: "That's President Monson!"

Oct. 1, 2011: "The bad guys are dead I beat them!" As he was playing with his cars and Batman and Joker toys.

Oct. 1, 2011: I can't sing sweetie Mommy's sick. "Please try?! Please try?!  Please, please Mommy try?" So I sang one song Called Never Smile at A Crocadile, well I attempted to sing it with a sore throat, congestion and a cough. It didn't sound very good. Then he asked me to sing Imagination and I said I couldn't sing anymore because my throat hurts and I'm sick. "Can Daddy sing Imagination?" I'll go ask him. "Daddy can you sing Imagination song?" Daddy: I don't know that song. "Mommy sings it!" Mommy: "I can teach you to sing it Daddy!" Daddy: (whispers to me softly) "I don't want to learn that song, I'll make one up." And he did. Silly boys and men.


Oct. 2, 2011; "How many crocidiles have teeth?" Mommy: I think they all do. "They don't all have teeth, they are just made of bone and I kind of can make it's mouth open like this with it's hand, and it eat's the other guy, my toy." "He's eating his wrist! Oh no an alligator eating me OOOOOOOHHHH!" "The Dinosaur is eating me AAAAAAGGGGGGHHH!" Boys are morbidly funny sometimes apparently.

Oct 2, 2011; "I'm hungry!" "I want a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for breakfast!" Okay, uh oh we don't have any bread. "We never get peanut butter and jelly sandwiches oh :(" Daddy: " I can make pancakes that can be used to make a pancake sandwich." " Okay, Daddy, Oh no what happened to the Red Juice? It spilled, I helped Daddy clean it up, now can me drink the rest of it? I drink the Red Kool-Aid  Juice so it won't spill. Ah it spilled again! " I shut it (garbage can) and you opened it right. I want peanut butter and jelly it's right here I want that Peanut Butter and Jelly first. There's a little bit more scotch left." Mommy:You don't even know what that means. "That's good Daddy, mmmmmm." Licks Fingers. Singing happy songs. "Dad can you get me a plate, mhmmm yes you can!" "You're going to let me borrow that one for a while from Brynlee, Brynlee gave it to me than we have to give it back to her?" Dad: No. Why? Mom: It was a present so it's yours.

"Look Mom I'm making a Handcake! A Handcake Mommy! I'm making Handcakes!" (as he smushes his hand into his pancake) Mommy; Look Daddy he's making Handcakes! Daddy; Very cool!

Mommy; If you eat your pancakes and eggs you can have some blue juice.
Christopher: "Why?" Mommy: "Because that's they way it is."
Christopher: "Why is that the way it is?"
Mommy: I don't know

Mommy; You need to drink your Juice on the floor. No crossing over the carpet with your juice.
Christopher; "Why can't I take it across the carpet?"
Mommy; Because it might spill and make a mess.
Christopher; "Why?"
Mommy: "I don't know."

The inevitable why questions begin! I'm going to have to come up with some awesome answers!


Christopher;"Thank you Kool-Aid man! His juice is going down because me's drinking it. His head gets poured in that side. (Pointing to the top) I spilled some a yittle bit." Mommy; Be careful.

Too see why I've not blogged for a few days please go here; http://www.merkleyadventures.blogspot.com/

Here are some cute things said in the past few days.

My son kicked my knee today and when i said that hurt he replies,"Jesus made me do it!" I say, "No, Jesus only has you do good things." Oh dear! I almost laughed. If he would have said, "The Devil made me do it," at least that has some merit- we have to work on the law of opposition and the difference between good and bad a bit more in our home apparently.


"I'm scared of the dark! Can you bring me my Winnie the Pooh light?" He said this a few nights ago before he was sick. He also said, "Can you bring me my fishy light?" He is afraid of the dark.


On Monday he was; He was watching the 80's Superman movie with Christopher Reeves; he switched to watch the 1941 Superman Cartoons on Netflix . The 80's villains were scaring him! He loves the old Superman Cartoons! And his board book about Superman!


Today he said,  "Mommy, do you want me to leave the light on in the hallway for you? It will help you not be scared!" Yes dear, thank you.


"Mommy I'm hungry, me want Mac and Cheese."


"Mommy come up here and play with me!"


"Mommy, my Garbage Truck will make you feel better." He was playing with his Garbage man and Garbage truck toy in my bedroom as I was trying to rest. It was so cute.


"Mommy, Do you like this Nacho?" Yes, Dear, thank you. "Okay, Goodbye!"


"You have 2 Mickey's on your cup!" Yes, I do. "Oh, this many!" Holds 3 fingers up. No dear this many, I hold 2 fingers up. "Okay this many!' Holds 2 fingers up. Yes, great job! "Me no like Mickey no more." Yes you do you are just saying that.


"I'm running, i'm running, I win!" As he throws his hands in the air- runs back and forth in our basement with a little red round ball. It must be football season!


"Ooooh I don't want the end of this book!" Talking about the book, The Monster at the end of this Book on Daddy's Ipad with Grover on it.


"Thank you, night night Daddy." "I want the door open, *whimper *whine NO! "
