punkinisms
I have several "draft" posts of things that Punkin has said that have made me laugh or I want to preserve for the future when my memory is shot or I need something to embarrass him with.
Here are some from the past couple of years. Hopefully, from here on out, I can do a better job of documenting them at the proper time.
From February 2009
Scene: Hubs sitting on the couch eating dinner, when he ends up dropping something off his fork onto his shirt.
Punkin: "Daddy, what happened?"
Daddy: "I missed my mouth."
Punkin gets up off his chair, walks over to Hubs, points at his face and says, "It's right there, Daddy."
Punkin: "I'm the bestest." "You're the bestest too, Mommy."
I couldn't dare give him a grammar lesson.
From May 2009
Punkin sneezes and says, "Bless you, me."
After watching a Chuck E. Cheeses commercial, Punkin exclaims, "Chuck E. JESUS!!"
At a restaurant -
Punkin: "Where's the waiter?"
Me: "I don't know, he must be helping other people."
Punkin: "He's helping other people, but I don't see him. It's a mystery."
About 5 minutes later -
Punkin: "Who's that?"
Me: "That's the waiter."
Punkin: "Hey, we found him!"
From April 2010
Scene: Touring friends' new home and in the room that will be the nursery
Me: "Punkin, this is going to be the new baby's room."
Punkin: "Where's the crib?"
Me: "It's not here yet. The baby's still in Ms K's belly."
Punkin: *look*
Ms K: "It's true, the baby is in my belly."
Punkin, as serious as can be, with a slight smirk as if to say 'quit pulling my leg': "We don't eat babies!" (unspoken: "Like seriously, Mama, you're ridiculous to think I would believe that!")
Scene: Punkin and Hubs playing baseball in the backyard.
Punkin hits the ball and runs the bases.
Hubs & I cheer him on and tell him he did great.
Punkin: "Am I on Level 2 now?"
From July 2010
Scene: We're at an outdoor concert with some friends. Punkin is dancing and running around in the grass with his friends when one of his friends runs into someone's chair on purpose. Punkin copies his friend and runs into the chair too.
Me: "You do not copy other people when they do bad things. You do not run into other people's chairs."
Punkin, exasperated: "We're just kids. We don't know everything."
Me: "Punkin, tomorrow's Saturday, so you need to sleep in late."
Punkin: "Why?"
Me: "Because that's what we do on Saturday mornings."
Punkin: "But I don't want to sleep in late."
Me: "Why not?"
Punkin: "Because I might miss something."
Me: "You won't miss anything because Mommy & Daddy will be sleeping in late too."
Punkin: "But you might miss something too!"

before and after
A little refresher on the "before":
And after:
Ah, that looks much better!
Seriously, could he be any cuter?
When we walked into school on Wednesday, Punkin's teacher didn't even recognize him!

state fair 2010
Punkin's favorite thing about the State Fair? Feeding the goats!
Last year, he fed them carrot pieces, but this year, he fed them the little pellet food... which meant he had to let them lick them off his palm. I thought he'd freak out about them getting their mouth that close, or at least about them actually licking him, given he never wants his hands dirty, but just look at this face:
Punkin's 2nd favorite thing about the State Fair?
This:
Dude is smart. Seriously, if you do go to the Fair and don't visit the "Pineapple Whip" stand, you're crazy. I recommend the authentic Pineapple Whip stand... you'll know it when you see it... it's in the shape of a Pineapple! Don't settle for the imposters!
(Note, Punkin is actually drinking an Orange Dream (minus the cream), and I'd have to say, it's also delicious.)
I've added this post to the WW fun at to be thode , Two of a Kind, and 5 minutes for mom

1st day of pre-k photoshoot
Punkin's first day of Pre-K was Monday, August 9th.
You are adorable in your new uniform. And I'm thrilled we didn't struggle over having to wear it. Now, let's keep that up over the coming weeks and months, okay?
I love you Punkin! More than I'll ever be able to express to you.
I hope your year in your new classroom, with your new clothes, and new rules, and new start time will be a wonderful experience for you. Knock 'em dead, kid!
Oh, and don't count on a chocolate chip cookie before school every day!!
