Hayden was tired of me painting and demolishing a long time ago, and he has definitely been making himself heard.  Here are some of the things he said this week.  As usual, his comments are, well, very Hayden.  I don’t live in Los Angeles, I live in Cognito. No! In Nork City there’s a...

It’s that time again- time for me to share all the silly things that my Hayden said this week.  As you can see, his love affair with Stella* is still going strong, but his comments otherwise were all over the place.  The mind of a three year-old… “My favorite color is NOT yellow.  It’s...

Those of you who regularly read The Sweetest know the drill.  For those of you who are newcomers, I have a funny little boy.   Or at least I think so and I like to pass along some of the tidbits of our conversations.  Here are some of the things Hayden said this week that...

Perhaps the fevers associated with the croup followed by an ear infection went to Hayden’s head, but this past week he was extra verbal.  And extra creative.  He spoke his mind with naivete and managed to tell me some very interesting “stories.” “My penis is a rocket.” “There’s nothing I can do about it. ...

You know the drill.   A week (or two or three) goes by, and I am all caught up in my own business, and then my three year-old says something to me that is so bizarre.  And I remember all of the other oddities he shares with me.  And I share them with you.  So,...

This is been a colorful week, one full of drama and angst and bizarre conversations.  A typical week at our house.  Here are some of the comments we heard from Hayden this week: “Oh, I knew that.” “He is very younger than me.” “If he doesn’t put it in his tummy, that skunk is...

I hang out with a three year-old every day.  Sometimes it’s awesome, full of love and learning and laughter.  Sometimes it’s lame, full of loneliness and longing for the company of adults.  Sometimes it’s just, well, bizarre.  Here are some of the things Hayden said this week. “I need a tissue.” “That’s what I...

I am a bit late in posting, but Hayden had a birthday last week.  It was full of cake, and pumpkin muffins, and chasing girls at the park.  Followed by a sugar meltdown, a nap, and strutting in his new boots.  In honor of Hayden’s third birthday, I am bringing you his best lines...

For those of you who are new here, I have a series of somewhat-weekly posts called “Tuesday’s List.”  I share some of the humorous (and some times perplexing) things said by my son, who is about to turn three.  Because he is often more interesting than I am. “I want dub.” “I want to...

Between the daytime craziness and our let’s-try-this-again night time potty training, we are all rather grumpy, over here.  And tired.  But even with my tantrums and Hayden’s demands for one more Wonder Pets, we still manage to have some entertaining conversations.  Talking with an almost-three-year-old is sometimes like interacting with someone on mushrooms.  Or...

Wow.  What a trip, and what a wedding.  I am back but super emotionally and physically exhausted, so I’m asking you to stay tuned for the re-cap.  In the mean time, here are some of the things Hayden said this week: “Don’t talk.”  (Yes, he was speaking to me). “My penis is funny!” “Do...

No need for much of an into or explanation.  Here are some of the things I have heard from Hayden over the past week week: What’s that called? Can we watch Krtek this morning, Daddy? Can we watch Roary this morning, Daddy? Moooommy, I need to go poooootty! What’s that called? Can you go...

“I can’t see!  I can’t see!” Turn on the lamp or open the blinds- it’s too dark in here. Mommy turns on a lamp and opens the curtain and blinds. “Aaaaaaaaaauuuuuuuggggghhhh!!!!   Waaaaaaaaa!   Aaaaaaaauuuuuuuuuuuggghhhh!” You turned on the wrong lamp.  Or opened the curtains wrong,  you figure it out. Mommy closes the curtain. “No, Mommy! ...

A list for your Tuesday- just a few of the lines I heard from Hayden today, age 2 1/2. I don’t like to go to sleep. I don’t like cheese sandwiches. I’m just playing with my cars and trucks.  Meaning:  I will act innocently busy so I don’t have to clean up the messes...
