Porterisms

" I can only run a half a way" as opposed to the "whole way" which in his mind is a term of measurement i guess.. like a mile. So he can only run a half a way until he gets tired.. this comment was made while cory and I were talking about how you run alot in soccer and maybe Porter would like baseball more since he gets asthmatic when running a lot.



"But do these shoes run fast?" his response to the shoe clerk who told us the shoes ran wide in that brand. He was really concerned with if they could indeed run fast and when he put them on he ran around the store to check. Oh and in case you were wondering we didn't get the shoes, they didn't run fast enough!

We don't need a pet at our house.. have have a baby! Porter picks up a soft toy ball, throws it across the room and tells Baby Arthur "go fetch!" Cory and I couldn't stop laughing! Of course the baby did go fetch and brought the ball back to porter! Wonder if he will teach him to roll over next?

Porter asked me if I knew how to play tennis. I told him I didnt really know how. "Really mom? but i thought you were sporty?" hmmm not sure where he got that idea! I suck at all sports!

While saying a prayer the other night porter wanted me to whisper it in his ear like they do for the little kids in church. I said thank you that none of us are sick Porter said "thank you that none of us are six" Cory and i couldnt keep the giggle in and porter was really mad about it.

Porter is learning about money. He has a piggy bank with about $15 in change. When we were at the store the other day he kept wanting things and I would tell him how much it cost and he would say never mind and put it back. I love it because i just have to ask him to pay me back for it and he decides on his own its not worth it. One really cute thing though is that he asked when we were going to get a house here and i told him we didnt have enough money, he told me that we could use his whole $15! Such a generous little guy!

While at the store with all the boys on my own a woman made a comment to me about all my boys and how cute they are and if we were going to go for a girl ( we get this alot!) Before I could respond Porter pipes up " We cant have more babies because three kids is a lot to deal with " I guess I should be more careful talking around him because he hears everything! Its so weird to hear that phrase out of your 4 year old!
