Quotes from Anthony:

After his haircut "like Grandpas"... "Mom, when's all my hair gonna go to my chin like Grandpas?"
When Mitch was leaving one day and said he wasn't going to see him for a long time... as we walked in the house he said, "Man, I'm gonna miss him.... I sure have fun with him."
Not my favorite: "Mom, you're a FREAK! Don't put all that stuff in my lunch box!"
On our early Florida Christmas: "Oh man! I'm such a lucky boy!" "My train set is sooo beautiful!"
"You get what you get, and you don't get upset!" This is something brilliant he picked up at school. Unfortunately he usually uses it when he is trying to get away with someing like treats for dinner of wearing the same filthy "new jersey" AGAIN!
"Mom, I want you to have another baby so i can see milk come out of your boobies.... How do you make milk?"
When looking at blogs and pictures on the computer... "Mom, I want to see some pictures of when I came out of your tummy."
Now that he is so into his reward chart and stickers, everything I say is responded to with "Will I get a sticker?" He can't even wash his hands or pass the ketchup without requesting a sticker. What a little wheeler -n-dealer! He wanted a sticker for playing at Logan and Liam's house today. Please, they ran aroud throwing coconuts and eating ice cream!!!
"Mommy, you are a good girl today, I will give you a sticker for your reward chart even if you didn't eat any meat." "And soon I will give you a present and cross out your stickers... wanna brush your teeth to get one more?".... He's such a little adult and loves to feel in charge - oh boy!
Long after he has gone to bed he yells out random funny things like: "Mom, did you finish your chores?... What you gonna do now? Get in the shower?" Followed by the funniest part: "Are you going to shave or wash your hair?" Somehow he has obvoisly picked up on the fact that due to my infamously long showers, I never shave AND wash my hair in the same shower. HaHa! He even made me my own reward chart and has been giving me stickers for "beinghaved" and particularly for taking FAST showers! HaHa! He is something else!
This is not really a quote, but Anthony can recite the book "Corduroy" word for word every page. Its his favorite. So cute!
"Mommy, do you have any tattoos?" Of course the answer was "no", to which he replied "Are you sure?" and "Why not?"
If I say "No", he always wants to call Mitch... "Mitch, will you...." On Friday is was "Will you take me to Tomato's for dinner??" (Sweet Tomatoes)... They won, and sweet tomatoes it was.
"Hey - I can't smell my own hair anymore" ... obviously after a much needed haircut.
"Almost..., but not quite." Usually regarding taking turns.
"I looooooove _______!" About anything. This is a Mitch copycat.
"What time is wake up time?" He says every night.
"Yee-Haaa!" - Since his trip to the rodeo with NuNu, PopPop, aunts and cousins. We might have a little cowboy on our hands...
"I love you baby!" He says to me.
"I'm done for the day." This also pertains to lots of things like eating or picking up toys.
"Mom, you don't know." This pertains to lots of things like how to draw letters or how to spell his name or how to pernounce words like "liberty"... He already thinks he knows everything and I know nothing. This could be a long road!
"I saw the STATUE OF LIVERTY in New York!"
"Are you sure?"
"I'm serious!"
"I don't hear brushing!" He said this to me from the other room while I was brushing my teeth and was just holding my toothbrush while I hung up a towel. Something I say to him...
"Don't spray the ants!" (in our kitchen) "they like us! they like living in our house! Don't! You're gonna kill 'em and they'll die!"
"I love you too, baby."
"Where do babies come from?... Where are they first? Do they fall from heaven when someone blows the whistle?"
"I'm going to say something funny... ready?" Usually followed by something like... "I'm serious" or "Fish swim with fins" or "Rock and Roll" or some silly (or not silly) fact or phrase. He does this all day!
"Mommy, why do only boys have pee-pees, and only girls can have babies?... and why do I have pimples... I mean nipples?"... I'm in big trouble, I know! Yikes!
"I love you Mommy-child" I'm not sure where that came from...
When I'm in my sweats "Mommy, you look like a little orphan! ... But I love you a lot!"
"I don't think I want my name to be Anthony anymore.... How about.... call me Jesus!" (This went on for almost a week, and now off and on)
He mimmicks me and now says after I make a statement "Yeah, right?" Just like I do. So funny and always catches me off guard.
"Mommy, when you're done yawning can we talk about something?" (I don't remember what - probably the chat about if worms have skeletons)
After a week or so of praying to love JoJo, he called to tell her that he does love her.... and asked what she wants for her birthday... That night he prayed... "Thank you for helping me love JoJo" and now he reminds Jesus every night that he does love JoJo.
Praying... " Please bless me to love JoJo!" (aka my sister, Cassie Jo)
While jogging... "Mommy, you're so skinny!"
Anthony loves to nod or shake his head as he talks. He thinks he is more convincing that way.
The word "Pe-Cause" (aka because) usually appears in each sentance at least once or twice.
"Mommy, you're so cute!"
"Am I allowed, Mommy???" Usually regarding a sugary treat.
"Maybe yes" or "Maybe no"
"Wow! I'm getting so much bigger! Look at the hair on my arms!"
"Thank you VERY MUCH (or sometimes SO MUCH)" - to the garbage man... or anyone.
"Sure, I will... maybe tomorrow"
"I love you SO BAD!"
He said, regarding driving his ride-on tractor at his Dad's house: "Mom, I do some crazy stuff!!"... This one sent chills down my spine. I just imagined him saying the same thing when he is 16! YIKES!
After I request he do something... anything...he says: "Hmmmm, maybe tomorrow I will do that."
"Hi Abbie... How you doing? Hows you baby? Hows you belly? Hows you boobs?" Ha Ha Ha! Even he noticed they were rediculously HUGE! (sorry Ab - I figured you have no "pride issues" after your recent "pregnancy post". ; - )
"I love you bostest"... this is a combination of most & best. So sweet!
"Only Kidding... Kid again!"
"Turn around! Pay attention and drive!... With both hands on the steering wheel!"
"Ooh Mommy! I like your new dress! Mmm, those are nice shoes! And I like your haircut! Did Tracy do it?"
"What's it do?... What's it say?... What's it for?"
"Tell me why!"
"Show me!"
"No, I'm too busy."
