Buyer

Deakan was at his friend Wyatt's house playing the other day when his mom Kassy asked him what he wanted to be when he grows up. Deakan quickly replied " I want to be a buyer when I grow up" not sure what that meant Kassy asked what does a buyer do? Deakan said "I'm just going to buy cars and trains for everyone."

Drive

Mom if you were little I would drive you to Hamptons or to the Store when ever you wanted.

Jesus

Mom is Jesus dead?
well no, he did die but he was resurrected and will never die again
Why doesn't Jesus come to church then?
He does go to church he is just really busy working with the prophet
Whyatt says that Jesus isn't my brother
well, Whyatt is wrong, Jesus is your brother
He's not Whyatt's brother, Whyatt doesn't even know him!

Thomas and Friends

Deakan is pretty much obsessed with Thomas and Friends. He loves the terribly boring shows and would watch them all day long if I let him. He has picked up some pretty funny sayings from the shows. For instance, "Look mom, my friends are journeying across the rocks to my house." or "Mom you are going to have to shunt me into the shower because I'm carrying a heavy load." or "We need to take this food to the villagers." He is really into pretending to be things. All day long he is pretending to be one of the many many trains and wants me to pretend too. I can't wait until Mav can pretend with him so I can get off the hook.

Maverik

Out of no where Deakan comes up to me:
"Maverik is starting to get awesome just like me!"
Yes he is.

Snakes

"Mom let's read this book,"
OK
"now listen you have to be very tough"
huh
"there are snakes in this book and they are very scary"
trying not to laugh at him.... ok honey
"now get ready and read to me"

Daddy doesn't cry

While I was washing the windows today Deakan came by and said
"daddy doesn't cry does he mom"
nope he's pretty tough huh
"I'm pretty tough too mom"
yes you sure are honey
"when I'm big like daddy I won't cry anymore ok mom?"
Sounds good but don't grow up to fast!

Grandma

We were having breakfast and talking about the up coming events like Grandma coming to visit when we got to the topic of how big Deakan is getting. Then Deakan said "Mom, Grandma is big like you huh?" "Grandma better not jump on the jumpaline, she might break it and fall in the dirt!"

Thomas S Monson

Deakan was in nursery at church and it was his buddy Wyatt's turn to say the prayer. Well Wy got a little distracted during his prayer and started talking about his grandpa's horse and a few other items off topic. So Deakan with his arms folded and his eyes still closed leaned over to Wy and said "just bless Thomas S. Monson." What can I say we have taught him well, he never forgets to bless Thomas S. Monson in his prayers. He is the cutest little prayer in the world!

Bunny

I had been telling Deakan all day that Emily was going to come babysit him and Maverik tonight while mommy and daddy went on a date. We were out petting our cat that is just about gone, she is very sick. I asked Deakan if he would like a bunny to pet instead of a cat. He said "yeah, maybe you and daddy can go get me a bunny when Emily arrives."
What 3 year old uses the word arrives? He is so funny, some of his common phrases right now are "Oh gosh" and "ugh bother."

Girls and Boys

"Mom are you a girl?"
"Yes."
"So you are different"
"What do you mean honey?"
"You know, boys are different than girls."
"How do you mean"
"Well my pee pee is like this" with his pointer finger held up, "And Kensley's pee pee is like this" with his fingers pinched together.
"Yeah, that's right"
"Is daddy a boy?"
"Uh huh"
"So his pee pee is like this" with his pointer finger held up
"Yes Honey"
then we proceeded to go through all of his friends and family pointing out what everyone's pee pee's look like.
I guess this conversation was going to happen sooner than later!

Are you nice and happy?

I told Deakan to stay in his room for quiet time and rest until I came and got him. About 10 minutes later he came into my room while I was doing my hair and asked
"mom are you nice now?"
I said "yes I'm nice."
"I'm glad your not mean and sad?"
Then he asked "will you be so happy when I grow bigger and wipe my own bum?"
"yes I will son"
"I'm glad your nice and happy, what makes you happy mommy?"
"It makes me happy when you keep your hand out of your pants honey."
"Yep and I haven't put my hand in my pants since lasterday when you took away my trains huh." "Yep I hope you learned your lesson about putting your hands in your pants!"

awffles?

Deakan woke up and came down stairs as I was making waffles and said "mom I smell awffles!" I said yep I'm making you some waffles for breakfast. Then he said "member I was thinking I wanted awffles lasterday?"

Belly Button

I don't ever want to forget that since Deakan was about one year old he has used his belly button as his comfort to fall asleep. Whenever he is tired he rubs his belly button. I put him in a onesie today and on our way home from the park he was super tired and unsnapped his onesie so that he could rub his belly button and fall asleep. Sometimes he does it when he's hurt or sad too. I wonder if he'll ever grow out of this habit? I sure hope not, it is such a unique little habit.

Strawberries

Deakan brought me a strawberry from the fridge today and asked me to take the "fur" off of it. I figured out that means the green leafs on the strawberries.

Kittens

Our cat "Scratch" had a litter of kittens a few days ago and when we showed Deakan the kittens he said, "look mom, meow meow had baby mice!" Yep honey baby kittens look alot like mice.

Cars?

Deakan loves his "Cars" characters. One night Deakan would not go to sleep after checking on him 3 hours after I put him to bed I found him in his play room with his clothes off playing with his cars. I told him he needed to go to bed and he said "my cars aren't gong to sleep." I said yes they are and you need to too. He then informed me that his cars were not sleeping because their eyes were still open. I told him that cars are different than us and that they can sleep with their eyes open. He thought about this for a moment and then said "oh cars are different because they don't have feet, leggs, pee pee's, and necks so they can sleep with their eyes open, not like us." I said yep you got it and now you can go to sleep!
