In the car the other day, Adam noticed some construction. He said, "Maybe that's going to be a church, except they need to put one of those plus signs on it."
May 15, 2010
Adam was admiring the tulips in our backyard and said, "Mommy, look at our beautiful tooplits!"
Direct quote from Adam... "Girls have boobs. Actually, Mommy girls have boobs, and kid girls have boobies."
March 5, 2010
Adam informed us today that Sophie kissed Diego on the lips (two kids in his class), but they got in trouble because that's not allowed at school. Why we ask? Because they might get germs, he replied. When I asked him why he thinks Sophie kissed Diego, he replied, "Because they're falling in love, but that's not allowed at school either."
March 3, 2010
We got Adam into the elementary school we wanted for next year. He'll attend Woodrow Wilson Charter Academy. Yay!
Emily is doing the army crawl - she's excited she can move around!
February 15, 2010
Emily thinks is hilarious to take her socks off at the first opportunity. Then she looks at us like, "hehehehe... I got it!"
This morning Adam said the music lady is coming to school this week. Mommy said, "Really?" Adam replied, "Really, Mommy, seriously. For real life."

Recent converation between Adam and Molly:
Adam: I'm excited to tell Diego (friend from school) about California.
Molly: Yeah, and you can ask how his Christmas was.
Adam: Yeah, cause he's a Christian people, and I'm the only Chanukkah person at my school.

November 4, 2009
Adam wrote his name for the first time yesterday. He was so proud of himself! And we were proud too.

Emily is eating real food! She has tried carrots, peas, squash, pears, and some different cereals. She seems to like peas the best.
July 17, 2009
Tonight in the bath I played "Starbucks," and offered my Mom a "jabba fraccachino." Maybe my Mommy goes to Starbucks a bit too often!
July 6, 2009
My Bubie was babysitting me and Emily, and she said she had to go and feed the baby. I said, "You don't have breasts!"
I try to stall at bedtime as much as possible. I tell Mommy and Daddy REALLY important things just to keep them in my room longer, like, "Some yellow chips are made from potatoes," and "Remember that part in Wall-e, when those big machines waved goodbye to Eve and Wall-e? Member that?"
Last night Mommy asked me if I thought I needed a bath. I said, "Yes, I do, because I'm filthy!"
June 8, 2009
Yesterday I was playing a game called "good guy, bad guy," and I shot the bad guy with my bone and arrow.
June 1, 2009
I was eating a bagel with cream cheese, and for some unknown reason, my tongue started to hurt. I told my Daddy, and he said it was because I was eating a spicy green chili bagel.
May 22, 2009
I really want to go to the Boulder Creek Festival this weekend. I've been asking Mommy and Daddy all day, "Can we go to the festibal tomorrow?"

Every time I see a motorcycle on the road, I have to yell it out (very loudly), and announce whether or not the driver is wearing a helmet.

I like to say the word, "super."
Example: "This pizza is super good," or, "Preschool today was really super fun."

December 19, 2008
When we pass our neighbor's Christmas sign every day, I say, "Hey Mommy, that says Fairy Christmas!"
When I get to school, I like helping Mommy put my things in my cuvvy. Mommy keeps telling me that it's called, "cubby," but I don't believe her.
November 16, 2008
Recently I said "Dad, you're just, like, freakin' me out."

October 19, 2008
Here's one of my favorite new things to say. "When I was a little boy, I liked carrots," or, "When I was a little boy, I played with baby toys." When Mom or Dad try and tell me that I am still a little boy, I tell them, "No, I'm a big boy!"
October 16, 2008
When Daddy kisses me and his beard is scratchy, I say, "Oooh Daddy, that's spicy!"
October 4, 2008
I was cuddling with Mommy the other day, and I was looking at her eyes. I said, "I like your eyeballs Mommy."
September 26, 2008
I love vegetarian tacos. I like the shell, cheese, and "hot part." Mommy and Daddy keep telling me it's "taco meat," but I like saying, "hot part!"

Mommy: Yes honey?
Adam: I have to tell you a question.
Mommy: Yes?

September 1, 2008
When I come home from school, I tell Mommy and Daddy about all the kids and girls. They try to tell me that girls are kids too, but I think kids are boys, and girls are girls.
August 29, 2008
I love playing hide and seek, but I don't really get the hiding part - as soon as the other person comes to look for me, I'll shout their name or say "PSSSST" really loudly!

I'm wearing underwear!
August 3, 2008
When I need to protect or take care of something, I put it in a "safety" place.
July 31, 2008
I really like jelly beans!
July 20, 2008
When Daddy asked me how old I am, I said "I'm twelve!"
"School" is where I used to go for daycare. "Preschool" is where I go now, even though it's at the same place, only downstairs. Whenever anyone refers to "school" I have to correct them. It's preschool!
July 17, 2008
I made up a word: foo choo pider. I say it all the time - Mommy and Daddy have been trying to get me to tell them what it means, but to be honest, I really have no idea! It's just fun to say - "Where's my foo choo pider?" Or, "Let's play foo choo pider!"
June 30, 2008
I say to Mommy or Daddy at least once per day, "So Mommy (or Daddy), what should we do today?" Even if it's 6:30 p.m. and we're getting ready for bed, I still ask, "So Mommy, what should we do today?"
May 31, 2008
I really like Curious George. I read his books and watch his videos. I call him "Cure-us".
I like starting sentences with "before", for example, "Mommy, before you give me a bath I want to read my Clifford book."
May 24, 2008
Tonight I asked for "shoulders" mac and cheese. I meant to say "elbows." At least I remembered it was a body part!
May 3, 2008
I like to pretend I'm playing baseball. I say "You fro the pit, I hit the bat!" Translation: "You throw the pitch, I'll swing the bat"
April 29, 2008
The other day, I wanted to watch a movie and Mommy said maybe later. I stomped my foot and said, "I'm tired of this!" Funny, I sounded just like Mommy when she says that!
April 22, 2008
I'm very excited about my upcoming trip to Minnesota in May. I keep getting confused though, and instead of saying, "Minnesota," I call it, "Cinamayta."
April 11, 2008
When Mommy or Daddy comes home I'm very insistent that they take their jacket off. I'll even offer to help.
April 8, 2008
I like to try to make my Mommy laugh when she's reading to me or singing me a song. I'm usually successful and she cracks up!

I like to trade one thing for another. I say "I want to switch with you."
March 30, 2008
One of my favorite foods is a "square cheese sandwich" which is a slice of American cheese folded into quarters. One slice makes two "sandwiches".

My new favorite food is yogurt in a squeeze tube.
When I'm sucking my thumb, I usually have my hand in my shirt playing with my belly button.

Sometimes when my parents ask me a question, I say "Hmmm...let me fink."
Almost every morning I ask for a pumpernickel bagel for breakfast.
January 23, 2008
I disagree with my parents a lot. When I don't want to do something or go somewhere, I'll say "nooooo, it's not!"
Example: "Adam, it's time to go to school."
"Noooo, it's not!"
Another example: "Adam, let's get dressed."
"Noooo, it's not!"
When I'm going up or down the stairs, I want to go by myself. To tell Mommy or Daddy, I'll say either "You finish my done" or "You wait first."
I love to jump on Mommy and Daddy's bed. I look at myself in the mirror and fall into the pillows and giggle.
When I can't reach something, I say "it's too higher!"
January 3, 2008
I saw a license plate the other day and I read it; "CTV245." Then I said, "That spells car!"

November 23, 2007
When Mom or Dad asks if I want to do something, sometimes I'll say, "Sure, I can do that."
I can say the word, "chip," and I can say the word "monk," but when Mommy and Daddy ask me to say "chipmonk," I say, "chickmilk!"
November 18, 2007
I like the movie "A Jungle Book"
Adam: "Where's Mommy?"
Daddy: "She's at Yoga."

November 2, 2007
My longest sentence so far is: "Oh Adam-bo-badam, you dropped a pea on the floor."
October 19, 2007
I now call my parents "Mom" and "Dad". No more "Mommy" and "Daddy" for me!
October 18, 2007
I'm fascinated with the dark. When I'm in a dark room, I say "it's dark in here"
I constantly ask my Mommy and Daddy (or anyone else) "Waddya doin'?"
September 30, 2007
I like to give Mommy and Daddy kisses on the lips.
I love the name game song, since Mommy sings it to me a lot. I will randomly say words like that, such as "Mommy Bo-Bommy" or "Daddy Bo-Baddy".
I can sing "Bah Bah Black Sheep"
I say "ummm" a lot.

I like pretzels. I call them "prestles"
I'm becoming much more comfortable with my dog, Hershel. Now I go up to him and pet him and say "Hershey, good boy!"
I really like pretending. I like to play with my toy house and make the Mommy and Daddy do all sorts of things, like go potty, do laundry, etc. I also like to pretend that whatever object I'm holding is an airplane, and I make an airplane noise.
August 31, 2007
Sometimes, I call my Mom and Dad, "Mol" and "Jer."
August 15, 2007

When I want to say that something in particular was very good, I say, "That was very, very banana," or, "That was very, very hug!"

July 22, 2007

I'll take a bucket of toys, or a scoop full of sand, or a half-eaten sandwich and present it to my Mommy or Daddy and say "I made this!"
I put on sunglasses, and say, "cool dude."
I love the movie 101 Dalmations. I want to watch it everyday (but my Mommy doesn't let me). I run around the house yelling for Pongo and Perdita (the two main characters).
I like to say, "I got somefing!" Then Mommy and Daddy say, "What do you have?" I reply, "Ice cream and cake, and mowk (milk)." Then they say, "Oh, can we have some?" Then I pretend-feed them, and the game continues with hot-dogs, pizza or grilled cheese.
