We still don't have a bike for Porter who is 5 now. Last year we found a girls bike on the side of the road that someone was getting rid of and we swiped it, but the chain was rusted and didn't work so he pushed it around until he realized it was a girl's bike and then never touched it since.
Jack: Mom - would you be really mad if someone put paint on your house? Charlie: or ketchup?
I had asked Jack several times to do something and he kept not doing it. I was frustrated and started yelling at him. He yelled back at me, "I THOUGHT CHURCH PEOPLE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE NICE!"
Jack: Why do I have to take piano?
me: Because you have musical talents and you need to develop them.
Sam: yeah, and you're also talented at popping.
Charlie: yeah, and locking.
The other day while in the car Dan was calling everyone "Cookie-Head Jenkins" (if you know what movie this is from you are a long lost sibling of Dan's). The kids thought it was hilarious and were getting giggly. Sam - sitting in the way back - says (laughing), "it just keeps getting funnier and funnier every time you say it!"
The other day after my grandma's funeral Jack turns to Dan and says, "Dad, when you pass away I want to inherit Guitar Hero so I can play it and then I can give it to my kids." What a wonderful family heirloom.
Sam and Charlie have been singing this little tune all day, "Mary had a little lamb, lost her sheep at home."
Charlie loves to ask us all this: 'member on Elf? sumanutcracker? (son-of-an-nutcracker). After which he laughs and laughs. (They all love Elf)
Charlie calls it a "louder" rather than a "ladder". He also calls his cousin Alex "Owlex".
A few months ago Jack asked me: who are those guys called who say ottergyle? me: I'm not sure who you mean. Jack: You know, the ones who play the pipe cleaner? me: oh - Scottish people, who play the bagpipes and wear argyle?
Sam: Today can we go to Little Tweezers for some pizza?
Sam's eating an apple slice, except for the skin.
Me: you know that skin's good for you, right?
Sam: yeah, it helps you grow skin.

go charlie!
I'm completely impressed!! We tend do that about age 5 around here.
Oh and also your neighborhood street looks so nice!
Charlie's a stud. I really liked him a lot - BOTH times I met him, lol. No, but really, he was really fun to tease :)
I say get him in a training group and see what happens. Do they have triathlons for 3 year olds?
That's cool. I think most people do that at age 5. I agree with Jamie!

that's amazing!
he's always struck me as a mature 3 year old though.
