Lucas Quotes

Lucas decided a couple of weeks ago that he has a baby in his tummy too!  It is actually a relief because he has pretty much refused to acknowledge that there is a baby joining our family soon.  If you bring up the baby he changes the subject, says no baby, or says "that a baby girl, I the baby boy."  If you talk about him being a big boy, he does not like it!  He says he's a baby too.  He has also started going around saying "goo goo, ga ga" especially if he wants you to pick him up or snuggle him!  I think this will be a tough transition for him.  Lately though he's been telling me about the baby boy in his tummy.  Conversations go something like this...

L:  My baby sleeping.  He a good baby.  He hungry.
Me:  What do you feed your baby?
L:  Chocolate milk!....and pretzels
Me:  Wow, you are nice to your baby.  Does your baby kick?
L:  No, my baby nice, he not kick people!  (He knows my baby kicks me inside my stomach!)

Each conversation about his baby is pretty adorable.  I wish I could catch one on camera!

While reading a book about police cars, fire trucks, and ambulances...

Me:  An ambulance helps people when they are sick or hurt.
L:  Why they not come when I had a tummy ache?!!!


Me:  Can you snuggle me?
L:  No, me tiny, and you huge!


Me:  What is your favorite color?
L:  tractor  (He really does like tractors, but it was a funny response.  His favorite color is usually orange!)


After an unusually pleasant dinner out with the kids by myself I said, "Everyone was so good, you must be growing up."
L:  You growin' up too Mommy!


While singing Wheels on the Bus in nursery at church, we got to the baby crying part.  The other teacher said, Oh no, the baby is crying while showing them the picture.  Lucas shouts out from across the room,  "Oh no, I not cryin', I fine!"  He's our little baby boy!!!


I half attempted potty training, but decided I just wasn't up for all the bending down and negotiations for now.  I hear most kids regress when a new baby comes anyway, so I don't think I have enough time to get him all the way done before she comes.  He loves wearing pull-ups, and was excited to pick out underwear, but I don't think he is quite ready.  I love his response when you ask him if he has to go potty though.  Almost every time he says, "No thanks, I fine!"


While driving in the car, Emilyn was crying and throwing one of her little tantrums.  The window was open and the wind was blowing loudly too.
Lucas:  Stop that noise!
Matisyn:  What noise buddy?  Do you want me to shut the window?
Lucas:  No, her mouth!!!
Matisyn: You want Emilyn to be quiet?
Lucas:  Yes, it so noisy, the dinosaurs are coming and they get us!


Bonus Emilyn Quote:

Emi:  I wonder why mosquitoes like you and Matisyn and don't like me and Daddy?
Me:  I don't know, you're lucky I guess.
Emi:  I think it's because sometimes Dad is stinky and he does stinky toots, and I don't brush my teeth!!!
