ivar quotes

We had a sick little boy at the beginning of this week. Lots of clifford, carpet cleaner, crackers and cuddles. It's so hard to watch your little one feel so miserable. He didn't like it and neither did we.

(Side note: Rory saw the picture of him and the kids above and he said, "don't put that on your blog. people are going to think all I do is lay on the couch with broken legs.")

And now for a few favorite Ivar quotes:

Ivar is into dramatic moments lately. They're not actual tantrums, because I can tell he is sort of amused at his drama. For example, I was demonstrating how to put his dirty clothes into the new laundry basket I got for his room. I had just done the laundry, so there was only a pair of pants and a shirt to put in the basket. This disappointed Ivar. He started crying, "I need dirty clothes! I need more dirty clothes!"

Later, while buckling him into his car seat, I pointed out the belly button on the monkey he was holding. In the mess of his jacket and buckled car seat he was freaking out, trying to pull his clothes up, "I want my belly button, Mama! I want my belly button!!!"

And yesterday we were talking about the days of the week. I told him, "Today is Saturday, tomorrow is Sunday and then it is Monday." And he looked very concerned, "What's sad, mama?"

He thought it was Sad-urday.
