"A Prize"

You crack me up kid! I think I've told this story to everyone:

I went out grocery shopping today and when I got back, Daddy had wrapped one of my Christmas presents and put it under the tree. When I came and sat down, you came up to me, with your hands behind your back and brought them out to show me a small box and you said "a prize" (surprise), after this, our conversation went as follows:

Moma: "You got me a present?"

Chase: "Des" (Yes)

Moma: "What is it?"

Chase: "A watch for you (your) arm"

Moma: "Really!"

Chase: "Des" (Yes)

Moma: "What color is it?"

Chase: "Princess Pink"

Chase and the big "Part"

You've made a couple "fiends" at preschool. Their names are Jake and Ace. Daddy works with Jake's Daddy and I went to school with Ace's Daddy. Anyway, I'm afraid after yesterday's event, you may only have one "fiend" left. On the way home from preschool, our conversation went as follows:

Me: "What did you do at school today Chase?"

You: " I parted on Ace!"

Me: I'm translating Chasese to English, knowing that the letter "P" is often used in place of the letter "F" and I said "What did you say?"

You: "I parted on Ace, I stink!"

What am I going to do with you?!

Christmas Tree!

Last night I was putting up the Christmas tree in our livingroom and you fell asleep while I was doing it. You must have forgotten about it, b/c the next morning when you got up, you went in the livingroom and ran back to the bathroom, where I was and was all amazed and bright eyed and said "Moma, deres a bi Kissmiss tree in dere!" (Moma, there's a big Christmas tree in there). I love the excitement in your voice and on your face when you discover new things! I can just imagine what it's going to be like the morning Santa leaves you presents under that "Kissmiss Tree"!

$7

For some reason, me and your Dad can't figure out, you have an obssession with "se-win dollars" (seven dollars). It started while we were in Disney World. I guess we told you something was $7 and it just stuck with you. Now, anytime we ask you how much something costs, you say "se-win dollars". You are forever telling me that you like this truck or that truck that we see in the parking lot. Now you say, "see dat truck, it se-win dollars, I have it?" (see that truck , it's $7, can I have it?) Never a dull moment with you buddy!

"My Girlfriend"

Lately you've been coming home from school talking about your "gurlpend" (girlfriend). When we went up to your school for a Harvest Carnival, you kept pointing at girls saying, "dats my gurlpend". Then last night when we went to Burger King, you saw a group of girls come in that were about Jr. High age and they were wearing uniforms, like volley ball uniforms or something. Well, you pointed to the group of girls and said "dats my gurlpend". Then when they sat down, they started smiling at you and you started smiling back and hiding your face and you had to show them all the stuff on the table, "my chicken, my apple, my piet (Sprite), my toy, etc". It was so cute to see you flirting with them. I guess I'm in for it when you get older!

Apple Spider!

Last night we bought some apple cider at Wal-Mart and of course you started in with your usual, "What dat?" I told you apple cider and you said, "oh, apple spider". I can't get you to say it right, you're still calling it "apple spider". So CUTE!

Moma's a BIG Boy!

Tonight when we were at a church Trunk or Treating, I took you to use the potty, I had to go too and when I finished, you clapped for me and said "Moma, you a BIG boy! You pee pee in da potty!" I'm just so thankful that we were the only ones in the bathroom!
