Grandma was asking about a cute little girl at church that Nolan likes to play with
grandma: is she your girlfriend? she has long pretty hair, doesn't she?
nolan: yes she does. she is a girl. sometimes i am allergic to girls.
grandma: what happens when you're allergic?
nolan: i sneeze.

dork ;)

humble

he always likes to tell me to say something after he asks me a question. as in "say 'sounds good nolan' after i ask you to go to the mall"

today we were driving and he says:
"mom, i'm going to tell you to turn here and you say good idea dude"
"turn here mom"
me (so obliging): "good idea dude"
nolan: "thanks- i AM pretty awesome"

luckily i knew he was kidding about the fire

as i'm bent over the tub washing my hair, i hear aila crying and nolan hollering.

me (yelling over the sound of the water): what is happening? please stop! (cause i know he is probably doing something that is making her cry)
nolan: sorry! there was a fire and i had to get her out very fast!
me: well okay but why is she crying?
nolan: duh mom- because there is a fire in my house.

questions and more questions

while knocking on her head...
mom is Aila's head made of plastic and so it makes loud knocking sounds?


nolan: mom [remember how every question begins this way?] what are those little things that go crawling up your buttcrack called
me: uhhhhh (dumfounded)
nolan: i remember. wedges (not wedgies). they're called wedges, right?

Mom- there is this girl at school and i don't like girls and she yells at me and says mean things and so I don't want to go to school anymore (it was even more run-on actually). If I go to school I'm going to just leave.

Nolan you have to stay there- what if mommy came to get you and you had left?? I wouldn't know where to find you! I'd be so sad :(

Oh Mom! (he shakes his head) you'd pass me on the way in!

lessons from yo gabba gabba

watching yo gabba tonight, we saw the song about talents. nolan started singing the song back perfectly on key about all of his talents like swimming and riding his bike and playing with his friend eli, etc. i then asked him what my talents were and he started singing the same things so i asked, "no really, what do you think my talents are?"
and he told me :) then he told me aaron's
both made me smile! they can really sum up a lot about life sometimes and it seems we might just be doing okay as parents
mine: riding my bike, loving him and loving my friends, fixing lights and making breakfast
aaron: riding his bike, playing with him, looking on mom's computer and throwing the ball
