Convo-Grayson-s

It's almost impossible to keep up blogging (or anything really) while working, mom-ing, exercising, wife-ing, ministering, quiet-time-ing, reading, or netflixing and all that life entails. Those of you who can do all that and blog — you have super human powers... or you don't sleep... And I really like sleep.

However I've had some really funny, really sweet conversations with Grayson lately that I've shared with friends and they keep telling me to write 'em down before I forget! So this is my attempt to not forget some of these hilarious or sweet moments. I've done a few Grayson-isms posts on here, but with the more conversing we get to do as he get's older, the more I'll be posting about them.

#1. Grayson gets to pick out his own clothes everyday except for church on Sunday's and picture days at school. This particular morning was picture day and I had picked out his shirt for him to wear. He put it on and it was "bothering" him (many shirts and socks and pants "bother" this child)....

G — Mommy the sleeves are bothering my arms! (whining incessantly...)
Me — Grayson it's just for pictures. As soon as you take your pics you can take this shirt off and wear your t-shirt ... You'll be fine.
G — But mo-om!... I have chapel this morning! If my shirt is bothering me then I can't praise the Lord!
Me — Change you shirt. (How can you argue with that!?)

#2. Commute conversation after school...

Me — How was your day?
G — It was fine... When are we moving?
Me — We're not.
G — But I want to move. We need to move to Washington.
Me — Washington? Why do we need to move to Washington?
G — Because Aleigha (school girl) is moving to Washington D.C.! Her mommy got a job there and you need to go get a job there so we can move there to.
Me — Buddy, mommy and daddy have jobs here. We're not going to move.
G — But WHY?
Me — Because God told us to have our jobs here...
G — I don't like Ouston, Tescas (Houston, TX) ... I wanna move to Washington. I'll be so sad if we can't move so I can be with Aleigha. 😞

#3. Most nights at bedtime we lay in bed and talk about all the things...

G — (completely random from our what are we eating for lunch conversation previously) Who's going to be my wife? I don't know who I'm going to marry. (quite distraught)Me — I don't know... You got a lot of time to figure that out.
G — But I have to find her! How do you find a wife? Mommy, how did you find your wife?
Me — Well, I am the wife. I'm daddy's wife.
G — Will you be my wife and marry me?
Me — I'm already taken buddy, I'm married daddy.
G — How did daddy find you?
Me — At school. We were friends at school and....
G — Oh! I got it! (with a sly smile and head nod) Ainsley (another school girl!) will be my wife.
Me — .... 😳

 

Grayson-isms

I'm working an extra a lot this week and I miss my kids, so I thought I'd take a little break for an outlet and whip up a quick post of some Grayson-isms... Because this kid is getting funnier by the day!

So here's some random "isms" and conversations of late....

Dating advice from Grayson....
Caroline was crying so I gave her a hug and said it's ok, you wanna be my buddy? Sure! Okay you're my girlfriend. Then we held hands and watched Veggie Tales.


While most kids yell "hi-yah!" when making their karate moves, Grayson yells "Ninja Turtle!" while karate chopping the air.


When he sees me or Olivia dressed up for church...
Aww, sister (or mommy), you're kinda beautiful!


Singing/praying for dinner:
God our Father, God our Father
Once again, once again
Thank you for our blessings, thank you for our blessings
Aww-Man! (instead of Amen)


Bedtime conversation....
G - Where is Jesus?
Tony - Jesus is in your heart.
G- Did I swallow him!?


Grayson telling us about his day:
And we pray and pledge to the Bible and the Christmas Flag and the Captain America Flag with the stars on it!

When driving in the car we play "switch songs," where everybody gets a turn to pick their song... 

Tony- Alright Grayson its your turn to pick a song.
G: I want...Say Something (yes, he knows that song)
Me: He keeps getting cooler and cooler
G: Yes he does!

Seriously, he's a pretty cool kid. And he knows it...

Grayson-isms

The most embarrassing moments come from when your child mispronounces words....

Convo #1:Walking into Target for a shopping trip..
Me - Grayson if you sit in the cart like a good boy mommy will get you some popcorn to eat while we shop (G LOVES popcorn)
Grayson - Squealing in excitement, YAY PORN!!! I love porn! Heehee, Yummy in my Tummy - PORN!!!
I got many funny glances and giggles in line for the POPCORN!


Convo #2:Bedtime prayer time
Me - Grayson what would you like to pray for tonight?
Grayson - umm... mommy and daddy and cole and dinasours!
Me - Okay, do you want to pray for the baby in mommy's tummy?
Grayson - Nope
