wilderisms.

wilder is becoming SUCH a big boy. i am so loathe to let his babyhood go, but i also love all the adorable things coming out of his mouth these days:


"...Ti, a drink with jam and bread! That will bring a snack to Do-oh-oh-oh." (singing Do-Re-Mi)
"Hawk-a-marine" (aquamarine)
"Wow, it's nighttime out here. I wonder how far it will be night." (As he's tiptoeing down the driveway.)
"Evie is on the table. I can't believe it." (me: "Me neither.") "Who can believe it?"
"C-A-T-E-R-P-I-L-L-A-R-S. Caterpillars. Caterpil-LARS!" (spelling out caterpillars, realizing they are kin to Lars, haha!;)
"She tried to push the chair. It was not too perfect." (about evie, as usual;)
"I want to ride a motorcycle." (um no. never.)
"Papa, i'm three years old, and this is my friend Big Teddy, and he's three, too."
"Mommy, I changed my mind."
"Papa-the-hut."
(THUMP) (me: "Are you getting on Evie?")  "No, Evie is just having some trouble."
"I'm going to work! Bye Mommy!" (coming back to me) "I'm just joking! I'm not going to leave you!"
"We are in a band." (me: "What's the name of your band?") "Our name is Jack and Jill. I'm Jack and Evie is Jill. And you're Princess Leia."
(me: "Night, night Jack.") "No, I've been Jack. Now I'm Wilder."
"I want someone to play with me!" (me: "Evie can play with you.") "No! I want a person like a mommy with black hair to play with me!"
"Are you (fill in the blank), Evie, yes or no?" (Evie: (invariably) "no.") <---- this makes us all die laughing, every time.

wilderisms.

a few more little sayings from my wileybear that i find so funny:

"i don't like pad thai." (silence) "bad thai." (a few weeks ago when i was trying to convince him to eat his dinner. i can't even think of puns as quick as he can, you guys.)

"i really don't want you to give me something i don't like." (preempting whatever i was going to serve for dinner. it sounds so logical, but basically rules out all food groups except sugar.;)

w: "what are you doing?"
me: "i'm putting on makeup."
w (excitedly): "are you going to be a tiger?"

"you're my sweetheart." (yes, my heart completely melted out of my body.)

"i'm a storm trooper pirate. this is my costume to make my head feel awesome and my hands feel good." (about a basket "helmet" and something he was wearing on his arms like armor?)

w's teddy to w's truck: "are you a bad guy?"
w's truck to w's teddy: "yes, i'm a bad guy." (so obsessed with bad guys and good guys. normal?)

"first, you have to eat your avocado, evie. then you can have a treat." (to evie while they were playing. i love the way he is constantly trying to play with her and help her and teach her.)

"what should i do about this?" (i can never really tell what "this" problem is haha.)

"i'm going to wipe the floor because of the sprinkles." (non-existent sprinkles.)

"i'm a wilder-gator! i'm going to eat you!"

"i don't know about this..." (with a worried look, when i'm trying to get him to eat something he doesn't like...which is just about anything.)

"you're going to miss your family." (sung) (a month ago, when j and i were getting ready to go on our date to the high.)

w: "let's play the foot game!"
me: "okay, how do you play?"
w: "you throw it and toss it and break it and smash it!"
me: (confused.)

"thank you for your smile." (to evie. heart melt again.)


i kind of often wish i could keep him this age forever. sigh.
