Swords

Tornado comes bounding down to the living room with a sword made from Lego blocks. Somehow, Daddy convinces him he needs to see it so Tornado hands it over.

Daddy: "Ha! Now I've got a sword!"

Tornado runs off to make another and triumphantly returns to the living room.

Daddy: "Let me see your sword."

Tornado hands it over.

Daddy: "Ha! Now I've got 2 swords!"

Tornado manages to get one back and says, "Let's fight."

Daddy: "Why would we fight?"

Tornado: "Because we have swords!"

Quiet

Tornado being.... well Tornado.... doesn't usually stop moving or making noise. All. Day. Long.

After several times of being asked to play quietly, I finally told him to go play in his room.

His response?

"I don't want to. It's too quiet in my room."

Yet if we went down there...... *sigh*

Money, money!

Tornado asked his dad to buy Toy Story 3 for him.

Daddy: that costs money. you don't have money.

Tornado: but you have money.

Nice try kid.  You're still not getting the movie!

How old are you?

Daddy: Tornado, how old are you?

Tornado: 4.

Daddy: how old is mom?

Tornado: I don't know.

Daddy: how old am I?

Tornado: I don't know.

Daddy: why don't you ask?

Tornado: I don't want to.

Daddy: aren't you curious?

Tornado: no.

Smart boy! Hahahaha

His daddy's son!

While watching Star Wars: A New Hope with his daddy, Tornado looked up from his plate just as the camera panned up the Millennium Falcon.  Suddenly we hear.....

"WOOOOOOAAAAHHHHH!!"

Toilet Flush

Tornado's allergies have been reeking havoc on him lately. So much so, that he currently sounds like a chipmunk because he's been coughing so much. This has lead to lots of fluid build up in his ears which sent us back to our lovely ENT. 

Before seeing the doc, he had to have a hearing test. The audiologist put the headphones on him and started having him repeat words. At one point he said, "I don't know what that word means." 

Towards the end of the test he said, "toilet flush" and the audiologist and I both cracked up. I asked her what he was supposed to say and she said, "toothbrush".

Toyoda

Little man took his stuffed Yoda for show-and-tell at daycare today. This afternoon he proudly walked in the house and announced to the big one's caregiver that "I brought my toy Yoda today." But he said it so fast it sounded much like Toyota with a -d: Toyoda. Hahahaha

Pirates

Apparently while I was sleeping yesterday, Tornado and his daddy had the following conversation:

Tornado: "I don't want to play Jake and the Neverland Pirates. I just want to play Pirates."

Daddy: "OK....how do we play Pirates?"

Tornado: "Well, we swim, and we sail the Never Sea, and we drink!"

Daddy: "Who taught you that?"

Tornado: "Mom!"

What an imagination he has!  I have no idea where he got that from but it most certainly wasn't me!  LOL

Glue

While picking Tornado up from daycare today, I noticed how green his eyes have been lately.

Me: I wish your eyes had stayed blue and not changed to green.

Tornado: Can you change them back?

Me:  No I don't have that ability.

Tornado: Why not? Can't you use glue?
