Andyisms and Other Things

Anyone who has had the pleasure of raising small children knows that kids say the darndest things. Our little Andy is no exception to this rule. We constantly encounter multiple sayings and phrases each day that make Julie and me scratch our heads and smile. We decided that we would be remiss if we didn't put just a few of these on our blog, both to lighten our collective mood and to record them for posterity. Enjoy!

Top 5 Andyisms
1. Andy (after noticing I wasn't wearing the watch that Julie gave me, and while shaking his finger at me): "Daddy, Mommy give watch! Put watch on now!"

2. Andy: "Daddy have hair on face!"
    Pat: "Yes, I do have hair on my face."
    Andy (disgustedly): "Take it off!"
    He now refuses to kiss me on my hairy cheeks.

3. Pat: "Andy, it's time to sleep."
    Andy: "Daddy, go to work. Mommy come."

4. Proof that Andy is from his father's family: While sitting in his stroller in line to checkout at TJ Maxx, Andy scowled at the fellow customers and said, "Go away, people!"

And our absolute favorite...

5. Julie: "Andy, get your finger out of your nose."
    Andy (angrily): "I eating!"

In other news, in order to facilitate our upcoming cross country trip, we have purchased a 2008 Nissan Quest. We're all very excited to have it, particularly Andy, who now has unlimited means of traveling entertainment at his fingertips!

Who said minivans don't look cool? I think it looks a bit like a spaceship!

A nice, roomy seat for our little VIP to travel in style.

Andy's dream come true...an integrated DVD player. Andy has been watching "The Sound of Music" and has never been quieter during a car ride in his entire life (the DVD player is also Pat's dream come true because it has video jacks that should enable it to be used with an XBox 360...ahhh, the wonders of modern technology)!
