that's what he said

Some moments are peaceful and still...

... And some are full of chatter. From quick rushed prayers to playing dollhouse with his sister, hearing his little voice is one of my favorite blessings. -Mommy

The End

M: Wow. Let's stop that your going to get hurt.
C: But I'm a ninja. And and and my father's in prison and he's my duty.
M: Oh really!
C: Yes. And we have to attack all that city. But there's bombs all over. Like firework bombs. And it's creepy really creepy but not too creepy. But it is!

M: Don't throw the Lego's Connor!
C: These aren't Lego's there blocks.
M: Well we don't throw blocks.
C: But I'm a monster. So it's my job.

On the way to preschool one day...
C: Caterpillars come from toothpicks.
M: Caterpillars make themselves into cocoons.
C: Oh. But where? I don't see them.
M: They are in the trees. And then they become butterflies after they sleep in their cocoons.
C: Okay so I eat butterflies with marshmallows?
M: No. You eat marshmallows with toothpicks. Cocoons and toothpicks aren't the same thing.
C: That's embarrassing.

While we were in Boise Aunt Ellie told me this conversation she had with Connor:
CJ and her were driving in the car with Connor after dinner at Goodwood BBQ.
Ellie being her teasing self, provoked Connor and said "Connor you know CJ is my brother not your brother."
C: "No, Uncle CJ is my brother."
E: "No, CJ is your uncle not your brother."
C: "No he isn't"
E: "Well how is he your uncle and your brother?"
C: "CJ used to be my uncle when he was little.  Ryan and CJ were the same person when they were little like      me and now they aren't."
E: "So Ryan and CJ were the same person?"
C: "Yes, and I was the same person with them when I was a baby."
E: "Okay, that makes sense."

(After a rough dinner meal, where Connor refused to try everything on his plate -meaning he didn't get his after dinner treat.) In his most defiant voice said...
C: I am not going to eat my treat! And my only friends are going to be Lego Batman and Heavenly Father!

(While playing dollhouse with sister...)
C: What do you want at the store, egggggggggs?
B: kiki
C: Okay I'll try.
(Connor pushes the doorbell on the dollhouse.)
C: The garbage man is here! Get the trash.
B: no.
C: Okay then eat it.
B: Okay.


C: We have to get him ... Dr. Caruso destroyed my family. He wrecked my beds. Turned people into ghosteds.
D: Who's Dr Caruso?
C: uhhh I just told you!
