When you've waited so long and worked so hard for a child to learn to talk/converse, those cute little things that kids say/come up with are just that much more priceless. Today is Sunday, and my mission today is record all those funny outbursts to share. We'll see how long my resolve for documentation lasts. You will likely note that most of these tidbits will come from Tanner, who is more chatty than Alex. What Alex lacks in conversation, he makes up for in personality and sweetness for sure, so I'll do a picture documentation of his day later this month.
6am
Mom: It's too early. I'm going to crawl back in my warm bed for a few minutes.
Tanner: I need my best adult to stay up with me, please?
(Yes - mom has been replaced by calling me his best 'dult'). Not sure where that came from.
7am
Tanner: The potty seat is broken. Mommy, we need to go to the potty store so Daddy can fix it.
(Home Depot will have to do...not familiar at all with the potty store)
7:20am
Tanner: Oh no! I got my foot cramp! Daddy needs his tools so he can fix it. I think he needs a hammer and screwdriver, and then he can fix my foot cramp.
7:30am
Tanner: Look at me Mommy! I'm snug as a bug in a rug! (A literal exclamation, cried out as he lay entirely under the rug in our family room)
7:50am
Tanner: That's the size shoe we can wear on both feet. Wow, look at me! I look so silly! (Announced with both feet stuffed into and stretching out my black high heels...hopping across the carpet.)
9:45am
Alex: (While getting a hug from Mommy and with a big sweet smile) Snug is a bug in a hug.
10:00am
Tanner: (Whining) Not again Mommy! Daddy is being a bosser! (Meaning Jim caught him being naughty and told him to stop. They've been a bit at odds this weekend and 'bosser' is a new word thats been thrown out in vain fairly frequently:)
12pm
Tanner (exiting the bathroom announces excitedly): I love sugar! Sugar is my best dessert. But I don't like flour. (Obviously recalling a taste test we did a few weekends ago while making a pie...I guess the throne does give us time to reflect on the important things in life!)
5pm
Alex (listening to a Disney Heroes CD): Oh, it's Percules!
Tanner: No, no, no Alex! It doesn't start with the letter P - it starts with the letter H! (Yes...Percules should be Hercules...thank you Tanner the speech pathologist...talk about the pot calling the kettle black!)

This is so cute!! Keep 'em coming.
I love it! I always thought Jimmy was a "bosser" too. I'm sure he, and the rest of my family, would say that I am the "bosser."
Jimmy definately know how to get his own way. Sounds like Tanner's a chip off the old block.
Yep, these are darling. Keep 'em coming.
Those are the cutest, sweetest, funniest comments I have heard in a long while...I can't wait for Em to get old and eloquent enough to have those type things come out of her mouth. Priceless!
Loved the update on the family. Santa is waiting next to the fireplace for some really good pics and comments with the "boyz" next weekend. They are getting so big!
Linda
No no Heather was the "bosser"
They are growing fast and turning into little men too quick says Nick
that was hilarious!
I read these over and over. I can imagine their faces when they say these things. Heather was "bosser" but it didn't have that much affect on Jim. He did his "thang" regardless
Please keep us updated!
