November 19, 2011 - December 2011

November 19, 2011:
- I was about to get Parker out of the car outside of a restaurant we were going to eat at when I noticed his face was dirty from the snack he had eaten.  I told him we needed to clean his face before we got into the restaurant.  Parker then said, "yeah, they would think my face was too dirty to eat and they'd say, 'no food for Park'!"

November 22, 2011:- Parker was talking about how he named all of his stuffed bears 'Susie' (his name for everything from stuffed animals to the name of the moon, lol).  After telling me his bears were all named Susie, he said, "the other stuffed animals have other names, but I can't even discuss those names right now."  His vocabulary continues to impress me!  It is so funny to hear a 3 year use the word 'discuss' in a sentence. :)

November 26, 2011:- Parker was asked if he wanted to have some cheesy eggs for breakfast to which he replied, "I'm not available for cheesy eggs right now".  The context of the word "available" was a bit off, but it was so funny to hear him say it.

December 1, 2011:- Parker technically became a Christian today!!!!  We were driving in the car and he was talking to me about where you go when you die, asking if I would be sad when he died, etc.  Long story short, we talked a lot about what it means to become a Christian and that you say a special prayer to Jesus and then you'll go to Heaven after you die and will live there with God and Jesus.  Parker then said "I want to say that special prayer to become a Christian, but I don't know how."  I then asked if he wanted me to say the prayer for him.  He said 'yes' and I prayed it for him.  By the time I went to get him out of the backseat I was a crying mess!  He kept asking me why I was crying and I told him it was because I was so happy that he was a Christian and that he was going to go to Heaven when he died.

December 2, 2011:- Parker had wanted to take some of his toy cars into the library with us.  I suggested that he leave them in the car so they would stay safe and we wouldn't loose them.  Parker then said, "We can't take my cars into the library because they might get distracted".  I love how he tries to use 'grown up' words and sometimes he uses them correctly and other times not so much. ;)

December 12, 2011:- On December 12th I found out I was pregnant.  When I first mentioned it to Parker, I just asked him if he would like to have a baby brother or sister someday.  He said, "No, I don't really want a brother or sister."  Then I said, "Well, did you know there's a baby in mommy's tummy right now?"  He then said, "There is??!!  I want to see it!" (as he lifted up my shirt to see my stomach).  I explained to him that it was inside my tummy and that you couldn't see it until after it was born, but that as the baby got bigger, my tummy would get bigger too.

Mid/Late December 2011:
- One day I decided to ask Parker if he thought I was having a boy or a girl baby, he said, "I don't know...I have to hear it talk or cry first, then I'll know"  Spoken like a true PhD's kid!  He is JUST like his daddy!!  He has to do gather his research before making his hypothesis. ;)
