Milo was playing with a little Lego guy and talking to it. I could hear him ask, "are you a bad duy (guy)? Are you a feetie (sweetie) pie? Are you a little feetie pie?"

We found a small spider in the bottom of our laundry basket. Milo was in awe. He admired it for a moment then turned his eyes up toward me and asked, "are we smash him?" Then, after I turned my back to do more laundry, he walked to the pantry and returned with a roll of parchment paper, saying, "now we can smash him?" I ended up dumping the spider outside to which he began to cry. "Him's a Mino pider (Milo spider) him needs his mommy!" I finally consoled his little broken heart by convincing him the baby spider had found his mommy spider. It was a topic of discussion for days.

Milo: "what's that?" Pointing to a scratch on the wall.
Me: "it's a scratch."
Milo: "otay (okay)." Looks thoughtful for moment, " should we put a Bam-baid (band-aid) on it?"

Zoe: "I always remember my birthday."
Me: "oh yea? When is it?"
Zoe: "May 3rd."
Me: "what year?"
Zoe: "um...I have it every year."

Milo woke up chipper & decided he wanted to wake up the kids ("the guys" as he calls them). I opened the bedroom door for him, he entered the room with a happy little skip to his step and pronounced loudly, "Hi duys (guys), I'm tute (cute)!!!"

Milo was rolling around on our bed one morning and suddenly buried his face and started saying a prayer. It went like this..."Heavny Fader, tank you for a good day. For mommy, and daddy, and tids (kids) and mommy, and Mino (Milo), and mommy is tockate (chocolate), and Mino is a dude. In the name, Desus Tryst (Jesus Christ) amen."
Chris and I are suppressing giggles. Then he looks up and says, " I said, Desus Tryst amen."

The kids have randomly been singing the song, "sunshine, lollipops & rainbows everywhere..." Milo picks up on everything so he's been singing it a lot too. This morning he was talking away and rather randomly said, "I love you Modder (mother)." Giggling, I replied, "I love you too Son." He paused, cocked his head to the side and said, "I'n not sunsine, yollypops and yainbows eveywear..."

Sometimes I forget how different my kids are. My mom was preparing some Rhodes bake & serve bread, Zoe walked up & peeked in the pan. The following conversation ensued....
Z: "What is THAT?!!"
Grandma replied, "bread."
Z: "why is it WHITE?!!"
G: "cause some bread is white."
Z: Pause.... "Weird!"

The kids were talking to milo about what if the new baby is a boy/girl.
J: "what if the baby is a girl? What would you do with her?"
M: "play reen-aroun-na-wosies and go shopping."
J: "what if it's a baby boy?"
M: "& teach baby boy ABCs and do rock-n-roll yike dis, be-ner-ner-ner (dancing around)"

Milo saw a man coming out of a National Guard recruitment office in camos when we were out & about. "Mom," he said, "dat duy's wearing a dinosaur shirt!!"

I don't remember what Chris & I were watching, but Milo was in the room kind of just playing and doing his own thing. After the show was over, Milo started telling me about the show....
"Dat guy was dead & the bad duy was changing his britches & he's had poopy pants."

I was trying to put Milo down for a nap....yeah, wasn't working. It especially came to a halt when Zoe entered the room fussing about eating her broccoli. I told Milo, "let's go out" (of the room). To which he replied,
"Otay, Yet me put dis toy back an we go out and see Zoe frowing a fit about broccy (broccoli) is nasty."

Chris was watching Milo build with duplo bricks and observed, "He has my chin. I just noticed that." Then he playfully pinched Milo's chin and declared, "give me back my chin, that's my chin!" To which Milo replied, "dis is not your tin (chin), dis (poking Chris's chin) is your tin." Then he returned his attention back to his block building, quietly tossing in, "Duh."
