The past few weeks have been full of Cole quotes and I wish I could remember them all...before I forget more, I will record a few tonight:
1. "Mama, what else is made of sugar?" After listing what felt like a gazillion things he says to me, "And what else?" I said, "I can't think of anything else, Cole." His response: "Sure you can, mama - you're big. Come on, tell me!"
2. One of my favorites: We were playing in the park and he just stopped, looked up at me and said, "Mama, I am having such a good time with you." My heart melted.
3. I said, "Cole, have you seen the top to my water bottle?" And he said, "No, mama, is it lost?" I said, "I guess so." And he said, "It's a mystery! Let's solve it!" (He picked up the word "mystery" from Curious George and has been using it almost every day in some context - what's amazing is that he is using it correctly!
4. "Mama, can I have three cookies?" No, you can have one. "But I want three." Well, I said one. "Why not three?" How about 2? His response, "Ok, it's a deal!" (He's quite the negotiator!)
5. Dave says to me, "are you going to call your parents?" And Cole says - "do you mean Nana and Grandpa?" It is amazing how perceptive he is and how he picks up on things like nana and grandpa are my parents- he just turned three! I have told him that in the past, but I didn't realize how much he truly understands and remembers!
6. Dave was in the kitchen cooking when something happened and he yelled "What the?!" (Not finishing the phrase) and Cole yells "What the what?!" The tone he used had Dave and I rolling!
7. We were taking a walk outside and saw a huge cricket hop by and Cole turns and goes, "Wow, did you see that sucker?!"
8. Last weekend we went to the zoo with Aunt Michelle and Cole was wondering why her belly was so big. So we explained to him that she had two babies in her belly. So the next night I'm getting Cole out of the bathtub and he goes: "Mama, is there a baby in your belly?" I nearly died. "What? Why?" I said. He goes, "Your belly just looks big tonight. Probably because you ate so much mac n 'cheese with dinner." Nice...my three year old is calling me a fat pig. That's bad.
9. Today we were driving to the mall and he wanted us to point out Mama and Daddy's work buildings. So when I pointed out mine he said, "Oh, so that's where Tom is?" (Tom is my boss who calls me all the time when I'm working from home - again, I'm so impressed with his cognitive ability!)
10. Whenever he asks me a question and I explain it to him he says, "Ohhhhhhh, I get it." and nods his head up and down. I have no idea where he picked up that phrase, but it cracks me up every time.
11. At the preschool open house yesterday they were handing out bags to all the students at the end of the class and there was a little girl named Jessica whose parents had left early with her. So the teacher is calling "Jessica, Jessica?" And Cole points over at me on the side of the room and says, "right there!" It was too cute!
