Where Dada?

Bubba loves to play "hiding" with his Daddy. One of them will hide under the blanket and the other one will ask whoever else is in the room where the one under the blanket is.

For example, if Jack is under the blanket, Jimmy will say to me, "Where's Bubba????" Then I'll say something like, "Is he on the deck?" Or, "Did he go in the laundry room?" And then Jack will come out from under the blanket and say, "I right here!"

So, I thought it was so funny when Jimmy was under the blanket and I asked, "Where's Daddy, Bubba?" And his response was, "Is he on the toilet?"

My Favorite Fruit

In Bubba's Sunday school class the kids were sharing what their favorite fruit was. Some said banana, some said apple, some said orange. Then the Sunday school teacher asked Bubba what his favorite fruit was.

It's amazing how our hearts can be revealed in two small words.

Bubba's response was, "fruit snacks".

I know what you're thinking, and yes, I do feed my son real fruit. He just loooooves his fruit snacks and those two small words run through his mind all day long.

Mr. Potato Head

Buba likes to imitate me too much. It's a bit scary when you realize what you say all the time, but hear it repeated in a toddler voice.

Things like:
"Yea, I fink it is!"
"Are you Tidding?"
"Otay"
"Do you underthtand?"

Anyways, the other day Bubba was playing with Mr. Potato Head and was seeming a bit disturbed.

So, his Auntie said, "Is Mr. Potato head okay?"

Jack replied with, "He's being demanding".

Let's Play Star Wars!

Bubba has learned to "play Star Wars" from his cousins and his big kid friends the Hevesy's. The other day he was holding Luke Skywalker (which was his daddy's when he was little) and was having his own conversation with him.

Then he said to me, "I Luke, Mama".

I was holding his baby sister and so I said, "Can baby Charli be Princess Leah?" I was trying to make the role playing connection that Luke and Leah were brother and sister in the movies. (For the uneducated)

Then I was hoping he would make the connection and ask me to be Queen Amidala who was their mom in the movie.

But of course he said, "Mom, you Yoda".

Lovely. Thanks a lot. I guess I should be glad that he didn't say Jaba the Hut.
