Zander-isms

Zander: (as I sleepily stumble into his room to get him) "Ughhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!"

Danielle: "Good morning, Zander . . . no more whining now, okay? Momma's here."

Zander: "Okay Mom. Mom, I'm stinky. I need new diaper."

Danielle: "Okay, we'll get you a new diaper."

Zander: (as I start to change him) "Mom, I want go downstairs."

Danielle: "I know Zander, we'll go downstairs after I change your diaper."

Zander: "Mom, I want go downstairs. I want milk."

Danielle: "I know Zander, we'll go downstairs AND get you some milk as soon as I'm done changing your diaper."

Zander: "Mom, I want milk."

Danielle: "Zander, I know you want milk, and I know you want to go downstairs. Please just be patient and let me finish changing your diaper. Mommy's really really tired this morning, so get off my case for just a second, okay?

Zander: "Oh, okay. Where your case Mom? I don't see your case."

Danielle: (laughing) "Never mind, Zander. I don't have a case."

Zander: "Ohhhh, you borrow Daddy's case?"

Danielle: "Zander, please come here and let me change your diaper so we can get ready to go, okay?"

Zander: "Okay Momma. I lay right here on couch."

Danielle: "Okay, sounds good. Let's get that diaper changed."

Zander: "Okay Momma . . . . (long pause) . . . Momma, we no say 'dammit.' Okay Momma? No say dammit."

Danielle: (trying not to laugh) "That's right Zander, we don't say that word. That is a naughty word."

Zander: "Yeah Momma, no say dammit. Dammit is a naughty word. No say dammit. Okay Momma? No say dammit."

Bev: (laughing) "I wonder where he came up with that one!"
