Dylanisms

Today Dylan was under the weather, so we both called in sick.  This has never happened before.  It is extremely rare for me to be home alone with just my son.  It was delightful and eye-opening.

Eva, my love, and my precocious princess, never stops talking.  I love that that she shares...everything.  Sometimes it is bothersome at her insistence on being the center of attention, but she is five.

Well Dylan had the floor today.  He talked and talked-without interruption or comment.  The boy frequently speaks with a stutter.  There was no stuttering today.  Which shows me....it might just be his way of getting a word in edgewise. 

Here are some slightly out-of-context Dylanisms from our day together.

***
Me: Dylan, How is your belly feeling?

D: It's okay.  It keeps saying "Feed me again, feed me again, feed me again."
***

Me: Come on fuego. (Me trying to get a fire started in the fireplace.)

D: You know Mommy.  It just needs time.  Just like the manta electrica.  (Referring to why the electric blanket is not immediately hot when you plug it in).
***

Me:  I'm tired.

D:  Don't worry Mommy.  We are going to take a nap in a little bit.

But my favorite is when we were reading "The Boy Who Cried Wolf."
The boy cries wolf three times and the villagers run to his rescue to find no wolf.  The next day the wolf appears, and Dylan's response was, "Of course Mommy, he has been calling him."

Love that boy.
