Stuff B Says

"Felix is crying. He have crying things coming out of his eyes."

"No mommy. You tell me." Said whenever he doesn't want to make a decision or answer a question.

"Daddy can take care of me." or "Daddy takes care of me."

Beckett and Daddy have started telling really elaborate train stories in bed at night. Beckett is the engineer, Mommy is the conductor, Daddy is the fireman or the brakeman. Felix is in the caboose. Beckett does more everything. He won't let Daddy apply the brakes. Felix a boy wonder and fixes the train, builds the tunnels, and fixes the tracks. The passengers on Beckett railway aren't very happy. Stations are often passed by and sometimes the passengers get kicked out of the train.

One result of the train stories is that Beckett is really eager to go to bed. He starts asking if Daddy is coming home very early in the day, like on the way home from preschool. One day, the moment that daddy got home, Beckett told him he was ready to go to bed.

"Felix, you the cutest baby." "What's the matter Felix?"

Listening to the radio in the car: "Is this the move-it song?" (I've Got the Moves Like Jagger was playing) or "Oh, I like this song" (said to all sorts of random songs.)

Sticky

B (laughing): Felix's hands are sticky now.
Me: Well, stop letting him touch your sucker.
B: But he wants to touch my sucker.
Don't I know it.

Warm Pants

B: "Momma, you wash my warm pants? Thanks for washing my warm pants, Momma."

Pretend Phone Calls

Beckett on a pretend call on a toy phone:
"Hi Daddy. You're driving in the car? ... You're at work already? ... I'm at home. ... Playing patty cake. ... Mark it with a D and put it in the oven for Daddy and me. ... Okay. Thanks for talking to me. Talk to you later. Bye."

Laundry

Beckett is really into doing laundry right now. He will load the washing machine while I sort the clothes. He will take the wet clothes from the washing machine and put them in the dryer, and he will take the dry clothes from the dryer and put them in a basket. He sometimes will even go load or unload unbidden.

I not like it anymore.

Say this in a really sad, whiny voice to sound like Beckett. This phrase always makes me laugh.

Moaning

Felix has a moany cry, and Beckett, seeing how effective this cry is, has started moaning too. It's like I have two babies. It drives me crazy. We've had lots of talks about not moaning and talking instead. Maybe it's sinking in because the other day Beckett said, "Moaning is for Felix."
