Since Phi's finally taken to talking he has been surprising me with the words he has in his vocabulary and the concepts of things he comes up with.
One day after we had been at Grandpa Dave and Grandma Jo's house we had the following conversation in the van on the way home:
Phi: "Bumpa loves Gramma?/."
Mommy: " Yes"
Phi: "All the peoples love da' ladies."
Mommy: "What do you mean?"
Phi: "The mans love the ladies."
I think he must have observed Dad giving Mom a kiss goodbye before heading off somewhere.
Recently Aunt TeTe was riding along somewhere and she and Phi were discussing the fact that Aunt Ruth would come live with Uncle AJ once they were married. Upon hearing this Phi popped out with "Will you, marry me?" anything to get Aunt TeTe to come stay at his house.
One day I found him reading this Pat the Bunny book peering into the round mirror on one of the pages. Finally he states, "Momma Phi's in dat' hole."
At Thanksgiving we saw a large herd of Elk grazing in a pasture near Grampa Allen and Grandma Dee's house. Later in discussing them I said something about their horns meaning antlers, Phi immediately asked, "do da' elks honk dair' horns".
At Thanksgiving we also got to spend a night near the beach. As we were getting out of the van I mentioned how loud the Ocean was roaring. Later Phi wanted to know if there were lions in the ocean.
Leroy, following his brothers lead will come in to find me looking at blogs or pictures and demand, "who dat," it sounds quite comical coming in his little accent.
Phi, being the first child, often, when we are driving wants to know where we are going and when turning if we are making a Left or a Right. He has also been known to try and tell Daddy which way to go on occasion.
We've begun the 1001 questions stage but so far it's been fun to hear what these little minds have to say.

Adorable! Love their little minds! Honk the horns!! Cute! To this day, my kids like to know right/left... and, when I'm trying to tell them right/left around the house and they're not getting it, if I say drivers side or passengers side, they always get it immediately. :-)
What cute little thoughts and sayings! I am so glad you are recording them here. Adorable.
Driver side or Passenger LOL that's awesome, a visual always helps me too.
Well, well...Phi wants to marry Aunt Tete, huh? :)
It must be how kids' minds work...
Jacob, the little boy we babysit, heard from his mom that I was getting married. He stopped to think for a bit, and then demanded that HE wanted to marry "Roopie!"
