Out of the Mouth of Davis

 I sent him to his room because he was being so naughty. When I was talking to him about his behavior and he seemed to think nothing was wrong with it:

Me: Davis! You hurt Hudson! And then you were teasing Lila and made her cry!

Davis: (looking at me with the most innocent smile and his darling big eyes) But I didn’t do anything to Chase!

I asked him about who he wanted to marry after his cousin Anna was lamenting that she couldn’t marry her cousin (meaning Davis).

Davis: Um, yeah, probably her. Because sometimes we play family. Because we are still little kids. Or are we big kids? No, I think we are still just kids. Mom, what am I going to do when I’m 69?

Me: When you are 69 you can do anything you want!

Davis: Can I play with rescue bots and decepticons?

Me: Yep.

During camping he kept sneaking over to Will’s tent and when Will tried to send him back he kept saying “I just need to tell Huds and Nora some stuff about Star Wars.” It was 10:30 pm.

One morning he was taking out the trash and said to me:

“Mom, why are Lila’s diapers so stinky?”

Me: Well, poop is stinky

Davis: Yeah so we don’t eat it for dinner.

Me: What do you like for dinner? (Knowing full well the answer to that)

Davis: Pizza…and rolls…..and um…Pizza.

He earned his 100 points and finally get to go on his special date with his dad- of his choosing. We should have specified this was limited to real, existing activities only.

“For my dad date we are going to McDonalds and then to the trampoline park and then to Netflixland where we are going to ride the rescuebot rides!” 

Ben tried to explain that Netflixland isn’t a real thing therefore he doesn’t know how to get there. Davis responded “That’s okay dad, the guy flying the jet will know how to get there”

When Ben clarified that they wouldn’t be flying on a plane anywhere for the date Davis responded with “it’s not a plane dad, it’s a jet.” Matter settled.

After his first soccer game I gave him a high five and told him he did great. His response was a matter of fact “I know, I did do so good!”

Randomly shared one night: We wear our feet in our house but we don’t wear our shoes in the house.

I very very love sitting on dad’s car mom.

A few phrases from Kindergarten have magically been working their way into his vocabulary. I heard him singing to himself “ 54321 shhhhh” and then he got really excited to exclaim “Criss Cross Applesauce!” When he was sitting on the floor playing with cousins.

He picked up his pencil firmly in his fist, “this isn’t right, right mom?” Then he corrected the grip and when I confirmed in was right be broke into the cutest smile, fist pumped the air and said “Mrs. Joseph and Mrs. Spinello are going to be so happy with me!”

During his nightly prayers he’s been doing what Ben has titled “co-praying”. He says one line, then has Ben say a line, then he says one, and on and on. Sometimes Bei Bei also contributes to the group prayer as well. Last night Davis didn’t want to pray, he wanted Ben to help his little R2D2 pray. So Ben would say something and Davis, speaking for R2D2 in a high squeaky voice would repeat the line. At the end of the prayer Ben said amen, R2D2 said amen and then Davis said amen.
