3 year old logic

S has taken to using a spray bottle to clean parts of the house. Yesterday he sprayed down both bathrooms and was very proud of himself for helping out. We got home last night and I was sitting in my room.
*spraying sound from kitchen*
Me: what are you doing?
S: nothing!
Me: I don't believe that
S: me either!

I stopped yelling, I was laughing too hard.

Notes on a bike ride

• A 25 mile ride is much easier at the end of the season than the beginning.
• It's fascinating how a head-wind can be there in every. single. direction.
• You can swallow a bug quickly and tastelessly.
• Most drivers are very courteous.
• Radnor lake is no longer frozen over (it was last time I ran there).

Rooms

While visiting Ric's house the following exchange took place:

Nana: S, do you need to go to your room to calm down?

S looks around house.

S: But Nana, they all yous room. They not my rooms.

Nana: (Laughing) Okay, I guess not.

Eeny-Meeny

S's version:

Eenie meanie miney moe

Catch a tiger, bite his toe

when he hollers

Let me go!

Eenie meanie miney moe.

Logical Associations

It snowed here. I stayed home in the morning to miss most of the traffic, ice, whatever crazy drivers are out there. I went in that afternoon.

S: Where Mommy go?

Daddy: She went to work. I think she'll be home pretty soon, she wanted to get here before dark.

S: Okay. That way her not freeze

Why?

We have just started the dreaded why phase. Last night we went out and got a Christmas tree.

S: "Mommy, what that man doing my Christmas tree?"

Me: "Cutting off the bottom so it can get water."

S: "Why?"

Me: "So the needles don't fall off."

S: "Why?"

Me: "Because I don't want needles all over the floor."

S: "Why?"

Me: .....

Conversations with 2 year olds

"Mommy, I no like my diaper."

"Well, you need to be potty trained to not wear a diaper."

"I not potty trained."

"Yes, so, you wear a diaper."

"But Mommy, I no like my diaper."

Repeat.
