Haydenisms

"I like to read Brown Bear Brown Bear at you."

When I pick Sean up from preschool, I always ask him about his day.  Well, one day, I must have been preoccupied, and neglected to grill Sean on his preschool activities.  So Hayden helped me out.  He said with his most grown-up voice inflections, 
"So, Sean, did you color a picture today?"

"Mom! Cindy jutht rolled over!  Cindy, you're jutht a great, great girl!"

We've been enjoying lots of Christmas music every since Halloween passed.  One of my favorites is Linda Eder's arrangement of "Do You Hear What I Hear?"  One day I heard Hayden singing: 

"Do you see what I see?  A car, a car, broken in the night . . "  

At bedtime:  "I like a thong (song), Mom.  I like "Charles" prayer.  Because we go to Charles' house and he will take a bath and brush his teeth and get in bed and say his prayers."  (he meant "A Child's Prayer.")

"I shake my bum-bum," "Mr. Poopth alot," and other potty talk. 

These next two made me smile because a few weeks prior, we'd had a Family Home Evening lesson about Lehi's Dream and talked about the iron rod and mists of darkness.  Hayden really got into the mists of darkness and talks about it quite frequently.

"I turned on the light and now the "mitht of darkneth" is all gone!  I love the mist of darkness.  Because we can hold on to the rod!"

Dallin:  Hey!  Turn that light back on.
Hayden:  It's mists of darkness!!
Sean and Hayden chanting:  Mists of darkness! Mists of Darkness! etc.

One day when Sydney was crying Hayden found her pacifier and put it in her mouth.  He said, "I saved her!" After a second she spit it out and he promptly replaced it crying, "I saved her again!"

"Mom, you thilly (silly) girl!"
