friday phone-dump (on monday)

quick story: 

coen has been into the song "down by the bay" so every night at dinner he is trying to make up his own quirky rhymes/sayings. except he doesn't quite get the rhyming thing so he just says things that are silly and make no sense and then laughs at himself. a couple nights ago, we were doing this around the table (yes, wes and i can rhyme) and he announced that he needed to go to the bathroom. he hopped down and headed towards the bathroom, then he turned around and said, "have you ever seen a guy, pooping outside?" 

we laughed. a lot. then coen pointed both fingers at us and said, "i will be back to say funny things and make you laugh, after i poop." 

the end. 

have a happy happy happy week. we are counting down the days till mainland tour summer 2012! 

coenisms

here are some more coenisms from the past couple weeks. happy friday! 

one night wes wrapped coen up in his bath towel and said, 
"i wrapped you up like a tuna!" 
every night since coen asks him, 
"will you wrap me up like a petunia?"

while wrapped up "like a petunia", coen 
shuffled himself across the hallway to his room. 
wes says, "your a little penguin!" 
coen replies, "yep, i am a little penguin. cock-a-doodle-doo!"

coen loves singing along to his praise cd. especially to this song,

actual lyrics:"everything that, everything that, 
everything that has been praise the Lord."

coen's version: "everything's bad, everything's bad, 
everything's bad praise the Lord."

me: coen will you love me forever?

coen: i'll love you for always.


at each and every meal, coen looks at his plate and says, 
"i just eat this all the time!"

some new catch phrases:

"that's dangerous!"

"whoa, that's amazing!"

"are you kidding me?"

"that's my favorite."

"i'm too tired!?
"um, because..."

currently little mr man is obsessed with; 

airplanes, frogs, jet boat, big engines and halloween. 

the darnedest things...

this child kills me. i wish i could record him all day long and post a live web stream of the things he come up with. or better yet, bottle a teeny tiny bit of him up and tuck it away for future days, when i long for these moments again. for now, i will just share a few of them and you will have to imagine it coming from his cute little self.

after picking out a new airplane toy at target he says,

"i am going to take this home and show it to my friend, daddy!"

while staring at a bottle of water that had a flower on the label he says,

"IF the flower is in the lady's hair, then it means that it is a

big airplane with big engines and it goes really fast."

(referring to the hawaiin airlines logo)

while we were dropping wes off at his car he says,

"thanks for driving, daddy."

(um, you mean thanks for riding?)

when someone asked him where he was when he bumped his head he replied,

"oh, in the national park"

when he asks us where a certain toy or object is,

and we replied that we don't know he says,

"well, just keep looking."

(thanks for the encouragement)

this morning he was yelling for me from upstairs, "mama! mama! mama!"

i came running to the balcony, he looked down at me and says,

"i just want to snuuuuuuuggle you!"

every time we pull up to our house he yells,

"look! coen's new house!

i ask, "coen are you going to go play with daddy?" he answers,

"yes, daddy is a great daddy."

when we walk into a group of people and they say,

"hi coen!" he replies very quickly,

"i'm just doing pretty good."

(in case they were wondering.)

some of his current catch phrases that we hear all day long in various situations:

"that is unacceptable!"

"it's okay if i poop."

"hello, customer!"

"i've got a great idea."

"i want to be a sweet boy."

"i just want to relax"

"i want to do like mama dos"
