Natie's Cute Sayings, Vol. 1

Nate is one of the talkingest near two-year-olds I've ever met. Some of my favorites:

He sees something. He starts to tell me about it. I am thinking about other things, probably work. So he has to get my attention. So it's: "Ooh! A wheel. Mommy. MOMMY. [Now has my attention). Wookit, a wheel."

To total strangers at the mall: "Hi." [They say hi back.] "Merr Kissmas."

Wants to sit with Uncle Jeff at dinner: "Sit wif Unca Dood."

Wants water: "Waller, peez."

Any truck: "Biiig truuuck."

Wants McDonald's: "Hammy Meeal." And of course: "Chickn Nuggen." And: "Fies."

What do you want to drink? "Joose" or "Schockit Munk." (Chocolate Milk)

Tackles big brother or wrecks Aron's Legos: "Sawyee, biggie bruuher." (Sorry, big brother.)

Gift Update

We have the Mack Truck, but no Wii. Guess Aron's getting an I.O.U. from Santa!

And Natie wants...

See post below. Same idea, but for this Pixar Cars Mack Truck, and for Nate. It's about $15.99. Please help!!!
[Mommy guilt hand-wringing time: I can't believe that I may not have the good stuff for the bebes for Christmas. I can't believe I am now old enough to be swept up into this Cabbage Patch Kid crap. I can't believe how I have embraced it with such gusto. OH HELP ME! They'll be felons if I don't give them a nice Christmas! Kidding, I know that's ridiculous. Kind of.]

Wii need your help

Aron has asked for a Nintendo Wii for Christmas. I am coming up empty handed.

I am BEGGING you: if you are out shopping and you see this gaming system, PLEASE buy it. I will reimburse you for the system, shipping and your trouble. Call me on my cell if you are out and you happen to see one (email me if you don't have the number). They are about $250. This is the kind of gift that's really for the whole family.

Won't you please help? A needy five-year-old boy is waiting for you to pick up the phone right now.
