September Quotes

Lately, I haven't been good at remembering to write down my kids quotables.  There've been a lot of times when they say something that makes me laugh and I think--Oh, I've got to remember that one!  And by the end of the day I've forgotten it.  So hopefully I'll do better this next month.  But for now, here are the ones I wrote down before I forgot.

Hayden on Daphne's baptism day:  Daphne, you are jutht gonna look tho, tho cute in the water.

Hayden gave Sydney a really loud raspberry on her belly.  I said, "Hayden, that was a good one!  I can't even do one that loud."  Hayden replied, "I know.  I am jutht the goodetht guy."

Me: Hayden, will you be a good boy for Aunt Emma?

Hayden: I will be the goodetht boy ever!

Hayden:  Look Mom, Am I handthome?  

Mom: Oh yes you are!  

Hayden:  Yeah, I'm the handthometht boy ever.

Sean:  Dad stops carefully.  But when Mom comes to a red light, I go like this.  (he leans forward).  

I thought this was a funny observation because when it comes to driving, Arthur is DEFINITELY more aggressive than I am.  So Sean must have been referring a time when I was in a big rush.

After Daphne's science class at Explora, we ate lunch out at the picnic area.  There were some construction workers working on a building across the street, and we could hear them yelling all kinds of profanity.  I think the only non-swear words I heard were "it" and "screw-driver."  

Daphne said, "Those guys sure are yelling!  They sound funny.  

I think they are speaking in a different language."  
I decided to just let her think that until Hayden started to imitate the sounds they were making in their "different language." So then I said, "Okay, actually, they are speaking English, but they are using words that you haven't heard before because they are dirty swear words.  So let's hurry up and eat and get out of here, because their yelling is hurting my ears."

Dallin:  Bobby's life is way more exciting than mine.  He's already broken his arm!

Sydney is learning to say some words!  Here's what she can say so far:  

ba-ba (bottle)

uh-oh

mama

bye! 

(she yells "by----ye" and waves, but only after the person she's waving to has already gone.)

poo-poo.  

(She just said this one today--She grabbed her diaper and said "poo-poo."  She was telling me she had a messy diaper!  What a genius, she is.)

deedle deedle deedle
not a word, but she says it a lot, and I love it.

DAD-DY!! 

(This was her first word and she says this all the time.  When she sees a picture of Arthur, she says "Dad-dy," when it's almost dinner time and she hears the door alarm chime, like it does whenever he comes through the door she says "Dad-dy." And she says "Dad-dy" to get his attention so he'll play with her.  And sometimes she says it just because she's really good at saying it. Very endearing.)

After the BYU/Utah State game, we were discussing the Heaps vs. Nelson issue and someone (Dallin, I think?) made the comment that Heaps seems like he's scared of getting hit.  Sean made this helpful suggestion:  Maybe he needs to get some armor.  Like, some knight clothes.
