on wanting more friends:
(points to dead bug on play mat) "mommy, can i have a play date with dat bug soon?"

on needing to poop:
"there's a mystery in my tush!  i don't yike mysteries.  i want a diaper with no mysteries!" 

when the cat walks by him and accidentally brushes against his leg:
"mommy, emmy gave me a yove snuggle!"

when he spots bean sleeping in the sunlight:
"oh, yook at dat precious dog!"

on his sister's tears:
"oh, mommy, does quinnie have some beers?" (no, bud, that would be daddy)

after farting, twice:

"daddy, my tush said 'woof! woof!'"

on the differences amongst his friends:

"mommy, my bad friends yive in de bad houses.  my cool friends yive in de cool houses." (um, okay?)

on colin's singing:
"daddy, you're not very good at dat song i sink."

on the recent picture of him and quinn hung on the wall:

"mommy, i yove dat picture!  dat's when me and quinn were happy!"

several times a day:

"i have a hangnail!" (stop everything!)

in a high-pitched, sing-songy voice, while snuggling dog bop:

"oh yes, dog boppie, i yove you!  i yove you dog boppie! dog boppie, i'm your boy will!"

upon realizing he forgot to bring dog boppie downstairs after nap:

"oh, mommy, you better go get him."

when we began sleep training his sister:

"what the f**k is up with quinn?"  (thanks for that one, daddy!)

every other moment of the day:

"mommy, you're a poopydoopsie!  quinnie's a poopydoopsie!  daddy's a poopydoopsie!  bean's a poopydoopsie!" (forced, maniacal laughter follows)
