Funny Leon

I'm trying to make more of an effort to record the silly things Leon says.  Here are a couple from yesterday.

While I was getting ready, Leon piled all of the pillows into the middle of our bed.  This is how our conversation followed:

Leon:  "I'm the king of the castle!"
Me:  "Does that mean I'm the queen?"
Leon: "No."
Me:  "How about the princess?"
Leon:  "No."
Me:  "Then what am I?"
Leon (with a big grin on his face):  "The Dragon!"

I then proceded to eat him up like the dragon I am.


We were watching the "news" yesterday (I write "news" because I think it's sometimes funny what they call news these days) and there was a photo of a celebrity from a swimsuit shoot.  This celebrity was showing off her big booty.  I looked at Kyle and said "Whoa.  Look at that booty!"  Leon looked up at the TV and said "Yeah.  It's a big one!"

HA!  Kyle and I couldn't help but busting up.  I still laugh out loud every time I think about it :)  I honestly don't know where he comes up with some of this stuff.

Yesterday, my Leon turned 3 1/2.  Three and a half!  And I don't think he has ever been cooler than he is right now.  This post is dedicated to him. 


Kyle and I joke that he is our little guinea pig.  It's true.  Poor kid.  As the first kid, he is the one that we have to test all of our parenting ideas on.  Luckily, he is so naturally awesome that we have been pretty lucky.

A year ago, Leon was still barely talking in sentences.  Now, he's full of things to say and questions to ask.  His favorite word right now is "why?".  And after I give him an explanation, his next favorite word is "why?".  He says the funniest stuff too - I wish I could remember it all.

He loves transformers, superheros, pirates, and trains.  When ever were out and he sees a yellow vehicle (and it doesn't matter what kind) he yells out "Mommy!  I see Bumble Bee!"

He loves to sing the ABC's and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.

The nursery leaders at church say he is very well behaved.  He stays in his seat when it's time and plays good.  Although, he likes to hoard his favorite toys (one broken train in particular) and doesn't give them up easily. 

His favorite friends are Jared, Gabe, Lars, Shelton, Colsen, and his cousins.

He loves milk.  If it weren't for milk, he'd be dead.  The kid hates to eat.  His favorite foods are bacon, cheetos, icing, and icecream.

He can be quite the cuddler.  My favorite is when he comes and lays in the square of my legs when I'm laying down on the couch. 

He is a good big brother.  He sometimes loves Grady a little too much.  However, Grady is starting to get more interested in Leon's toys, so I think he is going to be sick and frustrated with Grady soon.

He loves to read books, play outside, run and run, play with any type of electronics, watch TV, and wrestle. 

He really likes to say the word "Poop".  He just cracks up SO BAD when he says it.  It's funny.  Luckily, he hasn't said it anywhere but home.  I'd be mortified.


Oh I love this boy.  I love those blue, blue eyes.  I love his laugh.  He's getting so big.  I'm going to miss him at this age.  I just know it.
