From the mouth of Chandler

So Chandler lately has been full of cute little sayings and ideas.  I wanted to share some of them!

~A few nights ago I was helping Chandler get dried off after taking his bath and Chandler ever so sweetly turned to me and said "Thanks Angel."  I looked at him and said "Ahh, Chandler that is so sweet."  He then informed me that Jesus sent angels to earth to protect us from the bad guys.  Oh how precious!  He then asked "Momma, are you an Angel?"  How was I to answer?

~While cleaning Chandler's face I told him in my sing songy voice what a handsome face he had.  He so earnestly looked back at me and said "It is because my eyes were painted by God.  See (opening his eyes so very wide) he painted them blue because that is my favorite."

~As momma was driving the boys to daycare one morning (running a little too close to being late) I was grumbling about the traffic and drivers going well below the speed limit.  Chandler then asked "What is wrong momma?"  I answered as best I could.  Chandler, the well experienced driver that he is, told me "Momma you should just speed up and pass him. That's what daddy does."  HA!  "Really, Chandler, that is what daddy does?"  "Yes, momma, he just speeds up real fast, like this (zooms his hands together) and then we go around them!"  UH-OH!

~Chandler's birthday is so fast approaching.  It is hard to believe how fast your little one's grow!  Anyway, we have been discussing Chandler's birthday and as we were discussing his "theme".  Chase and I were throwing out a multitude of ideas.  After LOTS of no's Chandler finally said "I should have a goose party!"  A what?  "A goose party!  You know, because I am a silly goose!"  HAHA!

~Recently, Chandler was zooming around the house pretending to be Batman.  When flying by Cannon and I, he told me that he was Batman and Cannon was Pete.  Pete?  Yeah, like Batman and Robin, but only it is Batman and Pete!  I think he might be onto something!  Maybe?

~Chase was feeding Cannon on the couch as I was finishing dinner and Chandler was setting the table.  Chandler announced that dinner was ready and Chase responded by saying that he was busy feeding Cannon and that he would be there when Cannon was finished.  Chandler then replied by saying that, "You mean that you are busy feeding our little Angel?" 

~Whenever, Chandler likes something he will always ask "Momma don't you just love this?" or "Daddy isn't this just your favorite?"  Of course, we always reply yes!  Especially, when he sings one of his made up songs.

~Upon leaving Target one evening we left and it was dark out already and we had not even eaten dinner yet.  Chandler then informed me that we had not "hustled our bustle" because it was now dark and when we had gotten there it was still light out.  Wow!  I need to watch what I say because "hustle our bustle" is a term that I always use to speed up my kiddos at school.  I thought I only used it at school, but apparently I must use it at home too because he has often has reminded us that we need to "hustle our bustle"

~Chandler always announces when he is hungry that he is a "Starvin' Marvin'".  One day after he was full he asked "Momma what do we say when I am full?"  "Well I don't know buddy."  "How about I am a full bull, momma?"  "Yes, I think that works Chandler."  Now whenever he is done eating he always informs whoever "I am a full bull!"  I don't know if bulls really ever get full, but at least it rhymes?

~One recent evening at bedtime prayers this was what was said "Dear Father, thank You for our food tonight, thank You for all You've done for us Father God, thank You for daddy's back feels better, that we can tackle, thank You for Cannon's bone will grow, thank You for Poppy's eyes to get better that way he can see me and daddy and momma, thank You for G-G's head to feel better, thank You for daddy's legs to feel better that way we can tackle more, (pause...pause...pause) thank You for everything Father God!" 

Thank You, Father God for our sweet Chandler!  I am sure there are so many little sayings that I am forgetting, but these were some of the ones that just stood out from this week.  Our little buddy is growing so fast, too fast sometimes, but thank goodness I can treasure so many of his little sayings!
