Overheard Conversation

"Daddy, Ive heard you and Mommy having lots of conversations lately about the Greek yogurt.  Mommy was saying that it was kind of runny, and I dont remember what you said, Daddy. Actually, Daddy...you know what?  I think I had a dream last night that the Greek yogurt was runny, and Mommy thought it was icky.  I still dont remember what you had to say about it though"

Birthday Chatter

Beans: "Hey, Daddy guess what?  Did you know Im six today?"
Daddy:  " I know, buddy!  Thats very exciting, what would you like for breakfast?  Maybe some Dinosaur Egg Oatmeal???"
Beans:  "Ummm, actually daddy the oatmeal kinda takes a long time for you to make and I have to sit and wait along time not eating it.  Maybe we could have it tomorrow, when its not my birthday."
Daddy:  "Okay, buddy.  How about some Honey Nut Cheerios?"
Beans: "YES!!!"


Daddy:  "Is there anything you would like to tell me about, buddy?"
Beans: "That I love you very much.  Oh, and that the next time Im sick I hope I dont throw up.  I hope that I only have a fever"

(While looking at a picture)

"Hey, Daddy?  Do you know what the red eye thing is called when you look at the camera and it turns your eyes red?  Its called RED-EYE!  My friend Harrison told me that happens sometimes"

...Zooey-Mama!

Random morning utterings

"My favorite part of diary of a whimpy kid was when Greg was in his book, you know in his own journal and it was a picture of a house and Greg was there, then his friend, you know the boy that starts with an R, do you know his name Daddy?  You know who Im talking about?  Gregs friend?  He pops through the door in suprisement and he says Zooey- Mama!  Ya thats my favorite part...is that your favorite part too, Daddy?"

"This is what I want you to say in my journal, daddy.  You know in my own blog, Daddy.  I want you to say everything we talk about, then at the end I want you to say Zooey-Mama. HeHeHe"

"Last night we went to Party City, and we bought that ball, you know what I mean...that ball that I dont know what its called, but no dont say that I dont know what its called; you know the squishy ball that you can turn inside out and wear it on your head and it has tenticles on it and you can throw it around and catch it, ya say that we did that"

Zooey-Mama!

An Idea!!!

Good Morning, Buddy.  Did you have a good sleep?  Did you have any dreams?
These are the first words I say to my little boy every morning when I wake him up.  He is almost 6 and recently started his formal education in kindergarten. 
     He has been in daycare for the past 4 1/2 years, but he would usually eat breakfast there.  Now we eat breakfast together, and we talk about whatever he wants to.  He is a very smart child with a distinctive outlook on the world, and I thought it would be cool to share some of our breakfast conversations with the blogosphere.
    From this post on, I will be narrating for him, as if he is blogging himself.  I will post verbatim what he says, and he will even sign it himself.  Everything I post will have his approval.

I hope you enjoy!
