Porter talks a lot now a days and he says some of the funniest things. Thought I would write them down because I know that at least my mom will get a kick out of them!
Us eating spaghetti at the table ( i had bought the cheapo napkins from all a dollar):
Porter "mommy I am all messy! I have sauce all over me!"
Mom "use your napkin"
Porter "that napkin is too scratchy, it hurts me! I need a bath mommy, there is sauce all over me. Its on my pants and my chair and my face."
Playing with Toys:
Mom " Porter why don't you use this block?"
Porter "Actually I think I will use this one, that one is the wrong color. I need a green block."
Mom "do you want me to help you?
Porter " Hmmmm i don't think so. I can do it by myself."
I still cant believe he knows the word actually. Cracks Cory and I up!
At walmart while trying out the 16 inch bikes
Mom "can you reach the pedals?
Porter " mom I am bigger now! I can ride the big bike. i need this one. Lets buy it."
Mom "Maybe you can have it for Christmas if you be a good boy and ask for it."
Porter " I'm bigger than Theo, he cant have a bike. But i am bigger."
he went on and on about how "bigger" he was. I went and bought the bike later.. he will get it for Christmas.
Meal time
mom "porter its time for the prayer"
porter ignores me and starts picking at his food
mom "porter fold your arms"
Porter still ignoring me
mom " porter we need to tell heavenly father and Jesus thank you for giving us this food to eat or they will be sad"
Porter " oh yes... we don't want them to be sad." folds his arms and closes his eyes.
mom " porter its time for lunch, do you want a peanut butter and jelly sandwich or grilled cheese sandwich?"
Porter " how bout' eggs and toast? I will help you" goes over to fridge takes eggs and bread out and puts them on the counter! proceeds to push chair over and gets out pan puts it on the stove. Gets spatula. I resign to eggs and toast for the millionth time...
Some of his favorite phrases " hey, wait a minute!" " did you see that?"

I'm glad that you posted these: I think my favorite is the prayer scene. Lydia is a slow talker, like Porter was, so it's nice to look forward to conversations with her.

You're right. I got a kick out of these. You'll be glad you wrote them down too because later you think you will remember but you don't. Thanks for sharing.
He is getting to be a big boy. What fun those conversations are. I always love hearing what they are thinking at that age. He is going to love that big boy bike! I can't wait to see pictures of him on it.
Porter loves eggs and toast? I can't wait to teach him my favorites: poached eggs on toast, and "dip-eggs" (eggs sunny side up, with toast to dip in the yolk, and catsup on the white part.) It's not easy to cook the white hard all the way through, while still leaving all the yolk liquid. But it's worth it!
Thanks fo the post. Please send more of same! Grandpa
