Funny Stuff Carter Says

Jeremy Update:

Jeremy has been eating really well and is now even taking his medications by mouth rather than them crushing them up and giving them to him through his feeding tube. Last night his nurse checked his feeding tube and his stomach was full. During OT yesterday they asked Jeremy to put his medicines in some kind of order expecting him to do them in alphabetical order or order them by the time of day he takes them. Instead he started discussing what the medications did, referring to the brain and chemicals. We found out that Jeremy will not be able to go outside without staff during his stay because of his leg so he won't be able to get a green wristband like I had mentioned earlier. Today during OT he got to go outside and play with some dogs. They are projecting that Jeremy will be able to leave by March 8th. My secret hope that I haven't shared with anyone is that Jeremy will be able to attend Elise's first birthday party on the 19th. It is looking like that will be a possibility!!!

Now on to a post of funny things my little Carter man has said...

As I was getting ready to type this post using the notes I jot down about what Carter says, I thought, I can't wait until Elise is thrown in the mix! It will be so much fun when she is talking and saying funny stuff too! But what will be even better is the goofy conversations she and Carter will have. I actully can wait because I love the stage she's in right now, but it will be fun when we get there!

"The stars are pretty. They are all up there making flowers and things. Watch Lion King!" His seemingly random comment is most likely because Mufasa talks to Simba about the stars in one scene.

"Did you hear my stomach? It's making lots of noises because I ate so much food!"

He had climbed from the toilet to the bathroom counter.
"But I can't get down. I might fall and bang my head and crack my head and get blood all over the place!"

To Elise: "You're a brave girl!"

On a particularly difficult morning...
Me: Are you going to brush your teeth or go to time out?
Carter: I'd prefer to not brush my teeth, not get a spanking, and go to time out!

"It's like when I was riding my bike and I goed in the driveway and then I goed in the grass. I goed back on the concrete. That's how you solve your problems. Now you need to solve your problem like I solved mine!" Sometimes he's like a miniature life coach, lol!

"You're going to sleep with me and then you will play with me while daddy sleeps. That's the plan. Okay!"

"Let's talk more about the Earth. Some stars live in planets and some stars live in casseroles."

"I'm excited to eat cake! Delish!"

"Here's the deal. Daddy you go with mommy. I'll stay with sissy and we'll eat some cake." I die laughing every time I read this one. We didn't even have any cake!

While running down the hall with a flashlight, "No, shadow, don't follow me!"

Carter: What are you doing?
Me: Cleaning kitty litter.
Carter: Why?
Me: Because there is potty and poop in there.
Carter: I like poop!
Me: Really, why?
Carter: It's smelly and shiny!

Carter had used a walking stick on a hike and I made him leave it when we got in the car to go home.
"I'm sure, I'm sure I want this stick. I'm afraid someone is going to come and take my stick and I will cry for it."


We were listening to a Frank Sinatra Pandora station when "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" by Frankie Vallie & the Four Seasons came on.
"That sounds like dragon land!"


While we were doing puzzles, "Good! Good team! Work hard!"


Me: You look like a cool dude. He was wearing sunglasses.
Carter: Don't call me a dude. I'm not a dude! Call me a snuggle bug!


Carter: When I get older I want to run races and catch butterflies and visit Uncie J and drive cars! Can I drive cars when I'm older?
Me: Yes.
Carter: Where will you and daddy sit?
Me: It just depends.
Carter: Okay!

We were driving home from the grocery store where we had splurged on some Oreo cookies.
"I need to see the cookies to see if they're safe. Can you turn on the light?"

"I shouldn't sing Twinkle Twinkle because it's a night night song. I'll sing ABCs because it's a daytime song."

We were at Jeremy's house taking care of his cats when Carter said, "Look at my big, big penis!" and I looked over to see this...

I didn't realize these kinds of jokes started so young!

One day he woke up from his nap and cried for 30 minutes saying something I couldn't understand because he was crying so hard. It turned out he was crying because I had put my hair in a ponytail while he was sleeping and he wanted me to take it down so he could play with it. I'm not exaggerating, he cried for 30 minutes!

He says moss for floss and calls his putty yolk which cracks me up every time!

Random funny story not about Carter:

One Saturday morning Carter and Ty were playing in his room. Then Carter asked me to come play cars with him so I did. While Carter and I were playing cars, making our cars talk to each other, Ty was laying off to the side playing cars by himself. He was even making them make noises as they drove. It was just about the cutest thing I've ever seen!
