Simonisms

He's three and he's wonderful. 
He's just so....ALIVE!

Most of what he says is sweet or funny.
Sadly, some of the most funny things he says are PG-13 due to anatomy references so I can't make them too public.
And I don't always remember to write them down, which is also tragic.

But, sometimes I do, in our family "Official Funny Book".

Here are some from the past few months:

Feb 2011--singing--"Bare necessities, simple bare necessities. Forget about your worries and your stripes..."

May 2011---"Simon, don't eat your boogers."
     "I'm not.  I just sucking on it."

May 2011-- Sarah singing "Oh Shenandoah" in the kitchen.  Simon says, "Mom, don't sing that.  I don't like that song."
Sarah keeps singing.  She is, after all, the queen of the kitchen.
"Mom....Sing 'O Holy Jesus'." 
She stops singing, wondering where he'd learned that song.
And then she remembered that he had begged to attend ward choir with her.  He spent most of the time jumping off his chair, so she was surprised he noticed what song they were practicing. 
He recognized it again when they sang it in church.   A few days later, he was humming it and then sang, "O Holy Mama" and laughed.  Then he said sweetly, "I love 'O Holy Jesus'."

May 29, 2011--Camping at Goblin Valley State Park.
Simon was trying to climb up a big, steep rock.  He tried for awhile and said, "Mom, I can't do this." 
Sarah, not being willing to help him into a position that might be dangerous said, "Just do your best."
His reply: "My best isn't working!"

June 6, 2011--Simon was upset that Sarajoy had a toy that he wanted.  He kept coming to me and whining about it.  I was trying to finish typing an email, so I was only vaguely paying attention.  I told him to run and see if she'd dropped it yet.  I kept typing, and he came back and rolled around on the floor whining.  I payed little attention until he said, "Mom, Sarajoy's not following the Spirit."

Jun 21, 2011-- After a long, hard night's sleep Simon walks into the kitchen and says, "Dad, sleeping makes me tired."

July 2011--Simon fell while walking to the neighbors and got a bad case of road rash on his elbow.  I put a large bandage on it that somewhat restricted the movement of his arm.  The first time he noticed his difficulty he came and told me about it:  "Mom, I can't pick my burgers."

August 14, 2011--"Mom, where did you went?"

August 2011--A couple of days after we announced that we are having a baby, Simon brought up some serious concerns.  He scolded me when he saw my empty milk cup at breakfast: "Mom! don't drink your milk all gone, Your gonna drain the baby out!"  Later that day, he saw my partially empty water bottle and said, "Mom, if you drink this, your going to sink the 'born baby!"

July 2011--Simon was lying on my belly and heard the water sloshing around in there.  "Mom!  I can hear the milk in your belly!  You can squirt it out your special things!" 

August 2011--Dallin was putting stakes around a newly planted maple tree.  Simon said, "Dad, do you need another snake?"
Dallin corrected him, "This is a stake, not a snake."
Moments later, Simon noticed Dallin placing another stake on the other side of the tree.
"Is that a mistake, too?"

August 2011--I didn't realize quite how much time I'd been spending in bed with morning sickness until Simon found me in the kitchen one day and said hopefully, "Mom!  Are you going to babysit us today?! I want you to babysit us!"
