My three-year-old David has the most amazing gift for gab. He can rattle on for hours with little to no response. When he gets up from his nap, he is particularly conversational, so yesterday, I wrote down everything he said in a three minute window. I didn't do any prompting for this conversation, outside of just saying "uh-huh" and "umm". Here he is, verbatim.
"Mommy, Spider-man has a dad."
"How did Jesus make our belly button?" (while examining his belly button).
"Mommy, I'm feeling your hand" (while giving me a hand massage).
David coughs, "Bless you, that was a bless you".
Drives fake car down my hair "Vroom, vroooooom, vroom".
"Mommy, it would be fun to go down a rainbow."
"Benji is asleep. His hands are asleep."
"Mommy, why do we have these kingles?"(pointing to his knuckles).
"Mommy, where is dad?"
Waving to Benjamin, "I need Benji to shut his eyes".
"Mommy, do you know what is in San Diego? Those heroes. Those pilots. It might be noisy." (Referring to the air show Dave told him about last summer and hasn't mentioned since).
"Mommy, did Jesus make your phone?"
"Eeww was that Benji (who had just passed gas). Does he do big farts?"
"Have you noticed that Ripslinger has got those? (pointing at his airplanes vents). He is green and he is a Mustang."
"Skipper is nice."
"Let me get my blue blankie then I can snuggle up."
"Mommy, I love it when you sit by me."
I could listen to him all day, oops, I do.
