Grahamisms

Graham's vocabulary never ceases to amaze me.  He is growing in leaps and bounds in the thoughts he puts together and the sentences that come out of him.  A few of my recent favorites:

Graham:  "Mommy, I just don't like sleeping!"
Me:  "Honey, I know...the whole neighborhood knows!"

Graham:  "Will you please look at my beautiful, twirly princess dress?  Mommy, you dance with me.  I am Belle, and you can be the beast!"  (NO comments, Uncle Brian)

After spending half of an evening pretending that an empty laundry basket and foam clock were a race car, he awoke the next morning to find the basket no longer empty and in the same place.  He asked Chris, "Daddy, where's my dinghy?  I was going to go for a ride in my dinghy!"  (Thank you Jake, Peter Pan, and Captain Hook for that piece of nautical vocabulary!)

In keeping with the Disney theme, he is fascinated/borderline obsessed with the movie Frozen and the soundtrack.  He goes around singing and asking Elliot, "Do you want to build a snowman?"  He also asks repeatedly for the "Crazy" song (Love is an Open Door), and wants me to channel my inner Idina Menzel to sing "Let It Go".  I am actually more than happy to oblige on that one (See previous post about my thoughts on Superheroes).

One of my all time favorites:

Me:  "Graham, when we get home, do you think Elliot will say, 'Oh Graham, I have been missing you so much today'?"
Graham:  "No."
Me:  "Why not?"
Graham:  "He doesn't have any teeth.  He can't talk without teeth!"
A little later in the conversation...
Me:  "I know Elliot can't talk, but you know that he loves you, right?"
Graham:  "Yes."
Me:  "How do you know?"
Graham:  "Because he smiles at my face!" (cue teary Mommy!)
