From the Mouth of a 3-Year Old

Having a three year old is fun and challenging at times. One thing I love is some of the things Everett says. Here are a few examples:

After dressing himself: "Mommy I am beautiful!"
While outside in the 90 degree weather: "Mommy, it is too hot outside. The sun is burning my eyes."
On (pretend) sickness: "I am sick. My belly is sore. I may have a fever."
On Hampton: "He is my baby. He is mine. I love him." (Needless to say, 2 seconds later he swipes the toy he is playing with and runs off.) He also says Hampton is his best friend.
On Mommy: "Mama you're pretty. I like your neck-a-lace."
On Eleanor: "Eleanor lives in Mama's belly. She is a ballerina."
On helping: "I am a helper boy!"
On chocolate: "I love chocolate. It's my favorite."
When he is worried: "It'll be fine. It'll be okay. There is no reason to cry. I not scared."

We got Everett and Hampton a play house recently. It is so funny to sit back and listen to the dialogue that Everett provides for the daddy, mommy, and baby. Somehow the mommy and daddy end up in time-out a lot!
