that's what he said

My Mom has been telling me how I need to write down the things Connor says, I usually call her with a few each week, because they just make me laugh. I keep meaning to get a journal to write them all down in, for him to keep one day. But I never have, and Shea was talking about how he'd love to have them online so he can share them with his friends and family from time to time. So I decided to start recording what Connor says in a monthly "that's what he said" set of posts. 

This is the first installment:

C: There is a giant spider attacking.
     Hello Hello?
(Picks up Bella's play phone.)
     Mom Bella's phone is broken, WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?

(He saw a man with a tattoo.)
C: Oh look that guy was just like me when I was little.
     I painted on myself too. So I could be a monster and run away.

M: You need to eat some dinner.
C: No Mom I am too fat.
M: What? Your not fat.
C: Yes I am I ate a whole pig yesterday.

C: Look Mommy you bought me a puppy.
(referring to Bella, as she sticks her tongue out, and pants)
    Lets put her in the closet?

Because Shea and I are lazy bums we love asking people to get stuff for us when they are there, it is an annoying habit and I hate it, but poor Connor is getting the gist it seems like. He now has picked up on our little comments we joke with one another about and during the day when I ask him to grab something from the fridge or something alike I get excuses like this:

"My legs are broken"
"Don't you need exesising?" (*exercising)
"But I am bizzie" (*busy)
"I am too tired" (Said sluggishly with his tongue hanging out and slunched over.) 

Connor talks about "tree monsters" a lot and "ghosts", tree monsters is from an episode of a lego cartoon and the ghosts are from playing and fighting ghosts with Grandpa Stanger. After he sleeps he tells us he had nightmares, about tree monsters. He does this constantly, I have no idea if he really does. Mostly I think its just having something to say, because after a bad spout of night terrors for days Daddy would always ask "Did you have nightmares?" and since then he ALWAYS says he does. Anyway were trying to talk more about good dreams but we will see.
One day after nap he told us:

"I had a nightmare ... it was a ghost and it chased me and attacked me and tickled me ... and the ghost laughed and made me laugh too" (All said with a big smirk.)

Lately he loves commenting on "our parents" Shea's and mine, with comments like:

"Are your parents home today?"
"Your Mommy is going to be so mad!" (After I spilled a whole bunch of soup on the floor.)
"Listen to your Dad."
"Is that your parents? They forgot us." (After someone knocked on the next door neighbors door.)

I sure love this growing talker.
