Church

While at a Wedding this weekend I told Leo he need to close his eyes, pray & not to talk out loud until he hears Amen. To which in the middle of the prayer he said, Amen, Amen, Amen. Then when we all finally said Amen he says, “come in.”

“Mommy that’s my camera. I take photos, say smile!”

Not a Princess

Tonight I asked Leo if he liked my hair or should it be longer again. His response, “Mommy you need a hair cut?” Now playing with my hair “Mommy you need a hair cut?” What kind of haircut? “Princess” A Princess hair cut? Leo gives no answer just looks at me. Leo am I a princess? “NO you are not a Princess!”

Leoism

There have been many Leoism on the farm this week. Here are a few but I’m sure there will be many more…

“Mommy it smells like hay!”

“Let’s go find Grandma Truudys garden.”

“No ride lets go cook!” After hauling his harvest from the garden to the house.

“Oh look at that Tractor. That’s pretty cool.”

“Let’s go to a park and find kids!”

“Let’s go on the side by side.” & “I’m scared of the side by side.”

“Where did Grandma Truudy go?”

“It’s Uncle Kevie, it’s uncle Kevie!”

“Mommy lets go get my swim suit on!!” Sorry Leo maybe next time. we’re just here to eat.”

Leo are you having fun at Grandma & Papa’s? “Oh, Mommy I have sooooo much fun. It’s really cool.”

“Mommy follow that Grandma!”

Leoisms

Leo is a reasonably humorous little boy, and will hopefully eventually appreciate me capturing some of the funnier/sweeter/wackier bits he says here. If not, Paul and I will still be able to look back and smile.

Here are a bunch to start with:

6/11 — “That’s a mommy dinosaur. And that’s a Leo dinosaur.”

6/11 (playing with his farm set) — “Hi Daddy horse…I love you.” [*hugs*]

6/13 — “Mommy, garage sales are so much fun! But where did the trucks go?” Sorry, Leo, this one only had a puppy who gave kisses.

7/12 (after I dropped something in another room) — “Mommy, are you okay?” My heart melted.

7/12 (while making popcorn) — “Look at all these popcorns. It’s coming!”

7/13 (when asked to put on shorts after nap) — “How about leave that alone.” You need shorts on, Leo. “Leave that alone.”

7/13 — [cousin Lorelei:] “Leo’s my best friend! I’ll go play at his house.”

7/20 — [Paul:] “Leo, do you need to pee?”
[Leo:] “No.”
[Paul:] “Leo, do you need to pee standing up?”
[Leo:] “Yep.”

7/21 — “Mommy, we’re on the bed. Let’s jump like monkeys and eat cookies! Like Cookie Monster.”

7/24 — Leo couldn’t fall asleep tonight & wanted Mommy. I said we could rock-a-bye a little & he was my little chatterbox. Without prompting he told me “I love you. & Mommy rock-a-bye is so much fun” yes it is. :)

7/29 — “My Mommy & my Daddy. In Leo’s house. This is beautiful!”
