Maybe Jesus Has a Kitty Cat.....

Connor is seriously cracking me up these days...three is definitely a trying age. He's very emotional, and can be extremely moody--we're getting quite the glimpse of what the teenage years might be like--but man, some of the things that come out of three year old mouths! Ha! ;)

The other day he was begging me to take a bath. It was the middle of the day, and I wasn't ready to do baths at that moment, so, I told him that we'd do baths that night...he then proceeds to start "sniffing" the air.
Connor: "Do you smell some-fin mommy?"
Me: "Connor, ugh...don't tell me you poo-pooed in your pants...grrrr.."
Connor: "No Mommy, it's me...I'm stinky....I really, really need a bath!"
Needless to say, I gave in on that one! ;)

Earlier today he was tickling me and started to bite my stomach. This was an old habit of his that I thought he had kicked. I STERNLY told him NOT to bite, and moved him aside. He looked at me and said, "What, Mommy? I'm just gettin' to know your tummy better!" What?! I have noooo idea where he go this one!

Tonight he was playing with a tape measure of Tommy's. He was measuring various things around the house, (including me) to see how much they "weighed". ;) Then started telling me about the tape measure (did I mention he's also learned the art of fabrication....)
Connor: "Daddy gave this tape measure to me in heaven."
Me: "Really...hmmmm...I didn't know you'd been to heaven, what's it like?"
Connor: "It's an old house......with two roofs....and lots of old doors...."
Me: "Wow!" "Did you meet Jesus?"
Connor: (Stops and thinks) "Maybe Jesus has a kitty cat!"
Hum--I think we'd better spend more time with our Bible stories! :)

And so it goes, and so it goes....leaving me to wonder, what will come out of his mouth tomorrow! ;)

P.S. The song he made up tonight goes something like this....

"Burp....excuse me.....burp....excuse me.....burp....excuse me..." ;)

This totally made me laugh out loud! Especially the "getting to know your tummy better" part. This kid seriously is one of the best at getting his point across that I have ever been around. Even though he struggles to get the words out, the way he expresses himself is verbal genius (or comedian). :)
