Wednesday, April 8, 2009 (Ethan)

(Yes, I realize that Brian isn't quite a doctor yet, but for the purpose of a conversation with a three year old, he is.)

This morning Carrie was telling Ethan about his dentist appointment this afternoon.

Carrie: ...and Alyssa will be going to the dentist, too. You're both going to get your teeth checked.

Ethan: What about Callie?

Carrie: Cats don't go to the dentist.

(A few minutes later)

Ethan: Daddy's a doctor.

Carrie: Yeah, Dad's a doctor. What kind of doctor is Daddy?

Ethan: Ummmm...a man doctor.

Carrie: Yeah, he's actually an eye doctor.

Ethan: And he's a man.

Friday, March 20, 2009 (Alyssa)

(Alyssa is her daddys daughter.)

Alyssa: Yesterday, when the cookies came out of the oven, I liked them, but usually I just don't like cookies.

Carrie: Oh, are you not a cookie person? What kinds of things do you like?

Alyssa: Cow tongue, prime rib, pears, pineapples, um...cow tongue, and plums.

Ethan was wearing Batman pajamas this morning.

Carrie: Good morning, Batman.

Ethan: No, I Ethan, Mama.

February 6, 2009 (Brian)

Carrie: Do you want to rent "Australia" tonight?

Brian: That sounds a little ambitious to me. New Zealand would be more in my budget.

February, 2009 (Papa)

Papa: Ethan sure loves to sing.

Grandma Roses: Well, think about it. Carrie has always been a good singer. Alyssa's a good singer. It makes perfect sense that he's a good singer, too.

Papa: Alyssa's not just a singer - she's the whole production.

February, 2009 (Ethan)

Carrie: Thank you Ethan. You are such a gentleman.

Ethan: Mm-Hhmm.

Carrie: Do you know what a gentleman is?

Ethan: Mm-Hhmm. Opens doors.
