Quotes from My Kids - No. 1

My Son Isaac is a hoot. He was a very, VERY late talker. He actually was in Early Childhood Speech Therapy because at the age of 2 he spoke about 10 words....maybe. He comes from a long line of late talkers - my husband, his brother, my brother, my father - you get the picture. So, I wasn't too concerned, but, since my background is Special Ed. I didn't want to be one of "those" parents that could see all the signs but refused to get any help - just in case....so, he was in speech therapy - which, in my opinion, did nothing much for him. His teacher was lovely and came to our house every week with a bucket full of new toys - so, he ignored her completely and played with the bucket of new toys for the hour she was at our house....somewhere around his third birthday Isaac decided that it was time to talk and we haven't had silence since!
Isaac is now almost four years old and although he has some funny little speech-y things in his speech he is a MOTORMOUTH! He will NOT STOP talking....I haven't found the "off" switch yet...so, during the last year of him really talking, he has had some pretty funny "quotes". I would hate to lose these gems. I have a quote board in my kitchen where I write down the more memorable - I thought you'd enjoy seeing a few of the best as they pop up. So, here we are - out of the mouth of my little babe....

Yesterday, while driving in the car past a construction sight....(a "mastrution" sight)....."Hey Mom!....When I grow up I'm going to be a backhoe. You can be a dump truck. (He can actually pronounce Dump Truck now...for quite a while it was pronounced "dum....and then an "f" instead of the "tr" in truck.....yep, sound it out in your head.....OK, you've got it - now, picture him running in the nursery at church and shouting for a "dum ....uck") Yes, Lydia can be a skid steer. (Oh, wow, what is Daddy going to be?).....Daddy can be a crane! Cranes are HUGE and TALL and GIGANTIC.....no, I want to be a crane! Daddy can be the backhoe!"
You have to love boys!
