Porter comes running up to me while i am sitting on the couch, saying he wants to play with me. He is wearing three (purple of course!) bead necklaces with his typical boy outfit of red shirt and jeans. He then tells me "mommy I am the pretty princess, and you are the king!" Okay... i try to say without laughing. He then proceeds to tell me "watch me dance!" followed by a delightful silly dance around the living room.
Maybe he has been hearing me tell people i want a girl, so has decided to become one! lol. Cory didn't find this as funny as i did by the way. Not to worry though, today porter and I also had a light saber fight and he was Darth maul and he cut off my hands. ( he put them back on though so i could keep playing, isn't he nice?) So I think he has plenty of boy in him too!
Another funny conversation with porter
Porter: mommy, porters hungry ( he has been talking in third person a lot lately) Can i puhleeees ( think whiny kid voice) have some celery?
Mommy: yes you can, let me go get it for you.
Porter: Thank you mommy!! ( like i just agreed to give him a big chocolate ice cream cone or something!)
I hand him a stalk of celery.. he likes it uncut so i just wash a whole 14 inch stalk and hand it over. He then licks his lips, says Mmmmm yummy, and eats the whole thing! He also likes "big" carrots that i don't cut down either. Wonder if he will outgrow this stage where its more exciting for a vegetable than a cookie.

Lance used to love veggies...now I have to pretend things are 'treats' just to get him to eat them. I will save a bag of cookies (small 100 calorie pack kind) and fill it with stuff I want him to eat and tell him it is a treat. Luckily he still falls for it!
It is too bad that good habits often get replaced with bad habits but it is great that he likes his veges now. He will probably like vegetables his whole life.
I agree, he is a pretty funny boy sometimes.
He is SO cute! I love all the charming and witty things he says. He's lucky to have such a fun mommy!
Lydia likes whole carrots; she nibbles on them, and then usually deposits them somewhere, finds them the next day, and just continues eating on them. It takes her a while, but she can eat the whole carrot.
He is so cute!!! Wish my kids liked veggies as much as Porter does. Mine have never been through that "phase". :)
