As time goes on, conversations with Liam get more and more interesting. He is just over 3.5 years old and he loves to talk. My mother will tell you that he gets that from me. She always said that once I started talking, I never shut up and I find myself saying the exact same thing about Liam on a regular basis.
Here are just a few of the conversations that have occurred over recent months.
Liam: "I need two mommies."
Me: "Am I not good enough?"
Liam: "No, I need two mommies."
Me: "Why do you need two mommies?"
Liam: "Because I am a little boy and little boys need two mommies and a daddy."
Henry: "Who do you you want your other mommy to be?"
Liam: "I don't know, you can pick. But you can be my one daddy."
Me: "Do I get to be one of your mommies?"
Liam: "Yes, but I need two mommies. Daddy, who is my other mommy going to be?"
Henry: "I have to pick now?'
Liam: "Yes, I need another mommy soon."
Driving home, Liam could see smoke from a bush fire, he said:
"Look at all that smoke, it must be a volcano. I want to go see the volcano right now."
He frequently tells me the following:
"When I grow up, I want to be Tony Stark because he had a lot, a lot of money, he is really smart and he's IRONMAN!"
There are a lot of made up words in our conversations lately, but everyone has a meaning.
Liam: "Mommy, is that a shickhitter?"
Me: "Huh? What's a shickhitter?"
Liam: "It's a small, very tiny, little digger machine. You should know that."
Friends of ours, Ashley and Danny recently got engaged, Liam will be their ring bearer, although I don't think he has any idea what a wedding or a ring bearer is, he has plans for their special day.
Liam: "Ashley should get married in a princess castle."
Me: "No, Ashley's not getting married in a princess castle."
Liam: "OK, I want Ashley and Danny to get married on a horse. Actually on two horses, one for Ashley and one for Danny."
Liam wants a castle:
Liam: "Mommy, I really think we need a castle."
Me: "Really?"
Liam: "Yes, a big one."
Me: "Where are we going to find a castle?"
Liam: "We'll have to build one. I want to build it with you."
Me: "I don't know how to build a castle."
Liam: "That's OK, it's easy, really easy. First you get all the parts and put the parts together and then you put the top on. Then you put lots of toys inside. You put in the floor and paint it. They you put the walls on and paint them. And you have to put on a top that you can walk around on. That's a castle."
Me: "What colour are you going to paint it?"
Liam: "We can paint it red or blue or grey or any colour, really."
Me: "But what colour do you want to paint it?"
Liam: "Well, red, I think red is good."
Me: "What colour are you going to paint the floor?"
Liam: "Well, blue of course."
Me: "are you going to live in your castle?"
Liam: "Sure. I want you to live in my castle with me."
Me: "OK. Who else is going to live in your castle?"
Liam: "All the kids from preschool."
Me: "All of them?"
Liam: "Of course."
Me: "What about Daddy?"
Liam: "Well, sure, Daddy can live with us."
There are some farms close by that use propane canons to scare birds out of the corn fields. Here is Liam's interpretation of the situation.
"That noise is to make the birds fall off the corn so that the farmers can get the corn and feed the corn to the cows in the winter because cows are hungry in the winter."
I really never know what he is going to say next. I wish I could always have a paper and pen near by to capture some of the stories that he tells because I can never remember them all.
