Davis's first bidet (aka the bathtub faucet)

So apparently antibiotics can give babies unreal bad diaper rash...the kind where you have to soak them in a baking soda/water mixture three times a day and if you even point a wet wipe in their direction they start screaming. It made for some cute pictures though...

Today I was trying to get the batteries out of D's little music push car...
Me: "I just can't get this off. I don't know what's wrong with it."
D: "It was probably made in China."
Me: "It actually was!"

Paul and D were going for a walk around the block. D saw a tree with a yellow ribbon tied around it...
"Why does that tree have a tie on? Is it going to church??"

5/18/09
Paul: "You need to walk like this, like Saturday Night Fever."
D (in a whiny voice): "No. I don't have a fever."

5/14/09
Today D and I were discussing how he used to live in heaven before he lived here. (He asked me how old he was when he lived in heaven. I told him I didn't know.)
D: "Did I like it there?"
Me: "Yes you did because you lived with Heavenly Father and Jesus."
D: "Did Jesus smile at me?"

5/9/09
Me: "Come on. We're going to the bathroom to finish brushing your teeth."
D: "How come??"
Me: "Because you just spit toothpaste all over my pants."
D: "Was it Crest?"

5/7/09
D: "Show me a game on your phone."
Me: "I don't have my phone and the only games I have anyway are Scrabble and Tetris."
D: "You should upload some more games."
Me: "I'm not going to download any games because it costs money. But if I did what games would you want me to get?"
D: "Provo College, Scrabble, and shower. You should upload a game."
Me: "No because it costs money and I don't have any money."
D: "You should just get some money."
Me: "Where am I going to get money?"
D: "At the money store."

Papa gave D a cool visual dictionary. D's favorite part is the Human Body. He wants to read it all the time. One day we were looking at the page that shows a baby developing. I showed D the pictures of the baby at different stages and when I got to the 9-month-old baby...
D: "And then they cut the baby out?"
Me: "That's sometimes how it happens. That's how you and Snacks both came out."
D: "And when I came out was I super cute??"

4/30/09
"Am I cracking you up???"
----
D: "I need my own computer."
Papa: "What are you going to do with your own computer?"
D: "Just play games...do business..."
Papa: "What kind of business?"
D: "EOS business."
----
On a regular driving route...
Me: "D look at all the sheep in the field."
D: "How come there are no sheep in that field?"
Me: "I don't know."
D: "Guess they got blowed away on the mountain."
Me: "Guess so."

4/18/09
Tonight D and Snacks are sharing a room. I told D to sing some songs to Snacks so that he wouldn't cry. The lullabies began with some cute primary songs and ended with about five rounds of...
"Jingle bells, Batman smells, Robin laid an egg; Batmobile lost its wheel and the Joker got away, hey!"

4/13/09
Today D and I were coloring...
D: "Why are you coloring his hair yellow?"
Me: "People have all different colors of hair. What color is your hair?"
D: "Brown."
Me: "What color is my hair?"
D: "Brown."
Me: "What color is Nana's hair?"
D: "Blond. We should get daddy some hair."

4/5/09
Before D went to bed he requested a snuggle from Uncle Jeff...and then...
D: "Go sleep downstairs."
Jeff: "What?"
D: " This is my room. You need to sleep downstairs."
----
"I just peed in the bathtub."

4/4/09
Jeff: "Take a chill pill Bill."
D: "Take a pill Bill dill."

3/29/09
"Canada is my favorite state."
----
"Remember that one time we went to my preschool...like a long time ago...like 30 miles ago?"

3/26/09
Paul: "I can't wait until Snacks is a little older so he can play with you. He can play cars, run around..."
D: "eat macaroni and cheese..."

3/25/09
Somebody put together some nuts and bolts in D's toolbox.
D: "Who did that?"
Me: "I don't know. Did Uncle Jon do it?"
D: "Ya! Uh, actually it was probably daddy. He does cool stuff like that."

3/20/09
While perusing the Toys 'R' Us catalog...
D: "A cup of bike."
Paul: "What?"
D: "Just put the bike in a cup, squish it down, and pour some juice on it. Then when you ride it, it will be really juicy."

3/17/09
Today I was putting the clean silverware away.
D: "Snacks' spoon is in the wrong place!"
Me: "No, that's where all of his spoons go, see?"
D: "In case of an emergency?"

3/16/09
Tonight for family night we watched a slideshow/movie of Uncle Jeff's mission.
Jeff: "D, are you excited to watch the movie of when I went on a mission?"
D: "Ya. Did Nana and Papa go too?"
Jeff: "No, just me."
D: "Did I go too?"
Jeff: "No."
D: "Why?"
Jeff: "Because you were too little."
D (looking up): "And was I looking up like this?? Was I looking at a beetle??"

3/12/09
Today D was outside playing in his sandbox. Me and Snacks were going to walk around the block. Halfway down the street I heard D crying and screaming so I hurried back to the house. He was totally freaking out. Because there was a bug in his sandbox (a wasp). Later I asked him why he was so upset about a bug in his sandbox and he told me that he was crying because he didn't want the bug to get dirty.

3/11/09
D: "Can you find out what is wrong with the computer?"
Me (after some internet troubleshooting): "I don't know what's wrong with it, buddy. I can't figure it out. It's just not working."
D: "It probably can't breathe good."

3/6/09
Paul (trying to talk D into going to the bathroom): "Do you want to go pee in the sink?" (Don't worry, we would never let him go pee in the sink.)
D: "Ya! So I can put the fire out?"
(Yesterday he saw a picture of an un-named uncle extinguishing a campfire in an, er, unconventional way.)

2/23/09
D: "I have to poop!"
Me: "Okay, let's go!"
D: "Stores make me have to poop."
Me: "Oh ya? Like what store?"
D: "Like Michaels."

2/22/09
After I got D out of his bath tonight...
D: "Carry me!"
Me: "You carry ME!"
D: "I can't!"
Me: "Why?"
D: "Because you're too large and in charge."
----
Whenever brother tries to chew on one of D's toy animals: "Don't chew on that, Snacks! It's made in China!"

2/16/09
This will be funny if you are reading it out loud to someone else with no explanation before...
D went with Jeff to Redbox tonight to return a movie. While they were in line...
D: "When I came with Daddy we saw lots of Noddy pictures on the Redbox."
Jeff (scared): "What do you mean, buddy? Why?"
D: "Because kids really like Noddy."
(Noddy is some lame kids cartoon on TV that now has movies too. Unless you know that [which why would Uncle Jeff know that??], "Noddy" just sounds like "naughty".)

2/14/09
Today Uncle Jeff was blowing his nose. He could tell that D was sort of startled by the noise...
Jeff: "What did that sound like, D?"
D: "Smelled like nose beef."

2/11/09
"I want some of those noodles for dinner because they are so freaky."

2/8/09
"My stomach's real full, can you see my muscles?"

2/7/09
"This yogurt tastes like poop salsa."

1/30/09
D: "Mmmm...that smells good."
Me: "Do you like that? It's called rubbing alcohol. It kills buggies."
D: "And then they stop dancin'??"

1/27/09
"My stomach feels like it wants to go to bed."

1/25/09
Me and D were eating Jelly Bellies the other day. I could smell one that he was chewing on and it smelled good. I told him that it smelled good and asked him what it tasted like. He said it tasted like Kitten Grey (the color of one of his markers).
----
The other day I was blessing the food...
Me: "Please bless Uncle Jeff to have a safe trip..."
D (interrupting): "Please bless Uncle Jon"
Me: "Please bless Uncle Jon..."
D: "Please bless Uncle Jon...grateful that he toots...and make it smells."

1/24/09
The other day I was putting brother down for a nap and D was "helping" me. Well, he ended up falling asleep on brother's floor. So after brother woke up from his nap I was trying to wake D up and he wasn't budging. Finally he woke up. I asked him if he took a little nap and he groggily said, "I just passed out."

1/7/09
Me: "D, when did you get to be such a big boy?"
D: "Like January or something."

12/22/08
We got some Christmas cards in the mail today. D opened up the first one, studied the manger scene on the card for a minute, and then said, "It's from Jesus!"

12/21/08
I took D with me to the dentist to get my teeth cleaned. While we were there, the hygienist was trying to chat with D a little...

Hygienist: Are you excited for Christmas?
D: Uh-huh.
Hygienist: Are you excited to see Santa?
D: No. I don't like Santa.
Hygienist: Don't you want him to bring you presents?
D: No. We'll just wrap our own presents.

12/13/08
Paul: "Why do you like Christmas?"
D: "Because it's cute."

12/11/08
Me: "D, Ryan wants to know what you want for Christmas."
D: "A big walking yogurt."

One morning at 6:00 am: "Dad, I'm starving my brains out."

D: "What is that?"
Me: "Soup"
D: "What's in it?"
Me: "Noodles... carrots... celery... chicken..."
D: "...mice..."

12/7/08
D held up two tortilla chips and said, "This one is like a Twinkie weiner sandwich and this one is like Batman."

12/6/08
"We should figure out how we could put him back in your tummy." (in reference to brother)
----
"What kind of Christmas tree should we get? We should get a horse one! No!!! They probably don't have any horse ones..."
----
D: "Where's KOZY 106.5 on your computer?"
Me: "I don't have it on my computer. It's only on the radio."
D: "We should download it on your computer."

----
Me: I just had to clean out brother's nose with the boogie getter.

----
"Trick-or-Treaters are coming. Maybe it's Sarah Palin!"

10/29/08
D sings "I've Been Workin' on the Railroad" all the time. Today, instead of singing the normal lyrics, he was just singing the words "Made in China" over and over.

10/24/08
D was looking through a magazine today and saw a picture of Santa Claus. He said, "What's Jesus doin'?"
----
D was washing some lettuce for dinner and he said, "This lettuce isn't good. It has dog poop on it."
----
D heard a car door shut outside tonight. He asked who was knocking on the door. I told him that it was just a car door outside. He said, "Was it a ghost? Was it the Holy Ghost?" He keeps asking Paul if Paul is going to be the Holy Ghost for Halloween.

10/22/08
We are grudgingly transitioning from nap time to quiet time. Today I went to check on D in quiet time and I found him asleep in his doorway, facing his window. When I woke him up (it was after 4:00) I asked him if he took a nap after all. He said, "No, I was just looking at that yellow tree out my window."

10/17/08
D to Paul: "Can I get a big pumpkin like yours 'cause I'm growing."

10/14/08
"Think I have to poop again 'cause I had two toots. Can you say two toots??"

10/12/08
Early one morning (like 5:00 a.m.) D was sleeping in our bed. (If he times it just right, he actually can come climb in our bed and we are too comatose to notice.) Well, he was taking up half of the bed, kicking Paul in the back, and mumbling something. I asked him what was wrong and he said, "Daddy's touching me."

10/5/08
"Did you hear my quiet toot?"

9/26/08
Yesterday D told our friend Ryan that he had a meeting at 7:00 at the church today for baseball stuff.

Paul and D were playing in D's room today and they were listening to the radio. I overheard this conversation:

Paul: Do you need to go potty?
D: No.
Paul: Looks like you're doing the pee dance.
D: No, I'm just dancing to your tunes.

He uses this excuse a lot - it's a classic.

9/20/08
Last night when D was "going to bed" he said his tummy hurt. I asked him why and he said that he thought he needed some food in it. After I informed him that he JUST ate a peach and a yogurt, he continued on to say that it hurt because it had a pine needle in it.
