art lesson

Today we were watching an episode of "Little Einsteins". They feature an artist and a composer on each episode.

When they announced the artist of the day, Andy said excitedly, "Hey! That's my name! Except I'm Andy Roberts and he's Andy Warthog."

"Mommy, maybe Ben should go to juvie instead of preschool."

Andy ran his car across the basement floor and crashed, despite my warnings. He fell and split his lip open and it bled pretty heavily.

After the screaming and bleeding subsided, he came back to the basement and began to run his car again, at full speed.

I mumbled, "Guess you didn't learn your lesson, did you?"

He asked, "What lesson?"

Exactly.

Me, to Ben: You're such a manly little man.

Andy: Are you talking to me, Mommy?

Me: No, honey. I'm talking to Ben.

Andy: Am I a manly man?

Me: Yes, you are both my manly little men.

Andy: So...we're menly mens.

Andy: I'm going to marry my own butt.

echoes of me

Andy got into a verbal scuffle with an older kid today.

He told me he said, "I don't think you should have your words all up in my grill!"

attitude and wee

Andy's best friend Wesley was here for the day to play with him. Andy was thrilled. So thrilled, in fact, that he couldn't tear himself away from Wesley to go take a pee. But of course I knew he had to pee because he was doing the pee pee dance.

Me: Andy! Go pee!

Andy: I don't want to.

Me: Go pee!

Andy: I'm not going to!

Me: GO. PEE. NOW.

Andy: Alright!

He peed, but he was so unable to focus on the task at hand that he whizzed all over the bathroom floor. I was not happy. I made him clean it up.

Me: Andy, watch where you're peeing next time. That's disgusting.

Andy, defiantly: Well I'm not ashamed. And it's not my job to clean up everything.
