Blake and Campbell -isms

Some things that Blake has said lately:

• Blake wanted Gabe to go get his blankie & paci for him and Gabe said 'No'. So Blake (learning from Granty Baby) tried his hand at reverse psychology by saying, 'Don't get my blankie & paci!'

• He's so considerate, which I just love! 
• Me: How's the pizza, Blake? Good? Blake: How's sandwich, Mama? Good?
• Blake kind of got his thumb stuck in the door and I was trying afterward to close the door & Blake said: Be careful, Mama! You no get thumb stuck door, Mama!

• Putting the kids to bed & Blake said: Big day! Go concert, Go park! Big day!

• Gabe was doing This Little Piggy Went to Market with Blake and Blake interrupted and said: This little piggy leave me alone!

• Often says: 'No, do it mine self!' Or "Me do it can't" or "No me can!" when he really means he 'can't do it'. Love how the language develops - so interesting!

• I was driving fine and Blake all of a sudden told me: Mama, you not great driver. Me: Who is a great driver (totally setting myself up). Blake: Daddy is.

• Driving home from ECFE, I was signing the goodbye song. Blake: No! We say goodbye at school!

• 'Here my tiger, I lookin' for this.'

• Blake was hammering and asked Campbell, 'That look like good?'

• Before bed, Blake was being Mr. Contrary. Me: Time to take a bath. Blake: No bath. Me: Time to get out of the bath. Blake: No out bath. Me: Time to get on your diaper. Blake: No diaper. Me: Time to get on your PJ's. Blake: No PJ's. Then we get into his room and he says in his sweetest voice, 'Rock me, Mama. I love you, Mama.' 

• Campbell said that she wanted a My Little Pony bed when she gets a big girl bed. Blake said, 'No, I want big pony bed.'

• I doin' great job. 

• About to leave Blake with a babysitter. Blake: I not like it you leave. You stay here a while, Mama?

•  After GG left for college Blake really missed him and kept asking questions about it like: Where GG go? What college?

• Blake playing with Superman and talking to himself: "Bad guy. Scraped house! Sword him! Is Superman helping you? Go get hero to help!"

• I put on a bathrobe before I went to get Blake in his crib, which I hadn't done in a long time. Walked into Blake's room & he said: I don't like you in that. I don't like it!

Some things that Campbell has said lately: 

• Taking to Campbell about what outfit to wear to school and after we figured it out she said, "That's school-rific!"

• Gabe and I were talking about building a house on a lake. Campbell chimes in, "We are not building a house on a lake!" Us: Why not? Campbell in all seriousness: 'Cuz it wouldn't float!

• Campbell out of the blue: After Blake is done with diapers, let's get another baby.

• Campbell: Why can God see us, but we can't see him?

• Campbell: Mama, do dreams come true? Me: Yes, they can. Campbell gets upset and asks, "Even bad ones?"

• Kids were rolling down a hill at a park & Campbell said: I'll show you the true spirit of rolling!

A mom (of 5!) who I've been in several ECFE classes with told me this one today: "You make kids with big personalities." I hadn't thought of it in that way. But interesting.
