Dinner Conversation with a Toddler

Tonight, during dinner, I had the pleasure of hosting both my children for a tantalizing meal of spaghetti with zucchini, mixed berries, and garlic breadsticks. But it wasn't the food that made this meal memorable; it was the delicious conversation!

Now usually Hudson is my quiet child, while Ava is more of a talker like her dad. But not always. And certainly not tonight! A few events conspired to have Hudson unusually chatty at supper. (1) No nap today. (2) Erik decided to mow and didn't make it back inside until we'd all already eaten. (3) Ava was tired and quiet, not the norm.

All this = Hudson's time to shine. At one point, I literally stopped eating, turned on the laptop, and started recording his musings verbatim. Ok, let me just shut up and let my little man's voice do the talking. I hope you find it as amusing as Ava and I did; we were laughing in between every bite!


I need more cheese!

Are you happy?

I have no shoes on!

Sorry, Sissy!

No!

I have sticky hands!

Boo-yah!

More cheese, please!

Oooohhhh!

Sissy no shoes on!

Sorry!

Momma no shoes on!

Mwah! (blowing kisses)

Need a wipe!

Sissy, get my wipe!

I have cornies??

Ring around the rosie... (singing)

I like garlic bread sticks!

Look at me!

I shake my milk!

Sorry, Momma!

Are you mad?

See, Momma? I shake milk!

More cheese!

Zucchini? No!

Ew! I got sketties on my milk!

I take my bib off!

Clean up, clean up, everybody clean up! (singing)


While that might seem like a lot of exclamation marks for a single dinner (yeah, we thought so too), it sure was darn funny! Love my little man!
