Talking to Justinb in the back of the car.

Shawners: Put it in the middle, Mr. Crab.

Justinb: Stop calling me names.

Shawners: I didn't call you Mr. Crab.

No wait.

I did call you Mr. Crab.

Later:

Shawners: Mommy, my tummy felt like a rotten egg today.

Me: Did it really?

Shawners: No.

Spikey Spikes

"Daddy, you have spikey spikes." Shawners says while rubbing Brando's chin.

"Spikey spikes are a beard. Only small." explaining what spikey spikes are to Justinb.

"Daddy, I'm not kidding. You have a tiny beard."

Stuffed Animals

Shawn just named his Shining Star Monkey Cuteypie and is making the monkey's personality lovable, trickster, smart, cuddly, funny. I may melt from cuteness overload.

Cute All Over

I had several conversations with Shawners today that made me want to just eat him. The first one was regarding a stuffed snake he bought yesterday at his kindergarten field trip at Crowe's Nest Farm. On the way home from school he tells me the name of his snake is, "Snakey Shawners (our last name)". Then he says, "You know why? Because he is in our family." He proceeds to tell me all of his animals are named "Animal Name"y Shawners (our last name) because they are "all in our family".

Later he asks me, "What is your middle name?" I explained that I use my middle name for my first name, then told him my full name - first, middle, and last. He corrects me by saying, "Really, it's Mommy (middle name) (last name)."
