Squirrelly boy

Anthony said today, “If you think you’re holding still and you’re not, you’re wrong. Like squirrels are sometimes.”

You scratch my foot …

Anthony said to Mindy yesterday, out of the blue, “If some part of my body feels funny, I just itch it. Except my foot. If my foot feels funny I have to lick my finger and then itch it. If I didn’t lick my finger then itch it, it would just wrinkle up like when I’m in the bathtub - that’s why I have to lick my finger, then scratch it.”

Story from Mindy

Joey said yesterday that he saw a locust playing with a bunny in the river water.

We talked about the difference between pretending we saw something and really seeing it. I said, “That’s a fun thing to pretend you saw, isn’t it?” He smiled and said, “Yeah.”

Baby steps, untie your knots.

Another great conversation between Mindy and Anthony (Age 4).

Mindy: Someone tied knots in this.
Anthony: Me - it was me.
Mindy: I don’t think that was a very good idea.
Anthony: I don’t think it was, either. But it was fun.
Mindy: Well, if you tie knots in things you should untie them.
Anthony: But I don’t know how to untie knots.

Christmas quotes from the boys

Lately they have been playing “Tim and Kristen” since we just recently went to vegas for their wedding.

Anthony: Are you Kristen?
Joey: No - I’m Tim.
Anthony: Are we married yet?
Joey: No
Anthony: We’re having fun fishing.
Joey: We’re getting married today.
A little while later they went to see some sharks on their honeymoon.

Here is a nice christmas quote:
Joey: My boots smell like chocolate.

Bar at the bowling alley?

Mindy told me a story about Anthony that was really funny. It went like this:

Anthony has been bowling this morning.

He said, “Do the restaurants that they have at the places where they have bowling - do they have drinks for if the bowlers get thirsty while they’re bowling?”

I said, “Yes, they certainly do.”

“Then I’m thirsty for some milk,” he said.
