Conrad's Quotables

As my son, Conrad, gets older and starts to talk and string words together, I have been enjoying what comes out of his mouth.  Well, I have to confess that I don't always enjoy what Conrad says and am currently trying to break him of his 'stop it' phrase.  Through this new phase I try and find the good things and am thankful that for the most part Conrad quotes are very enjoyable.

I am sitting at the bank dealing with our checking account Conrad is in the chair next to me and says 'all done talking'. Then proceeds to get up, grab his apple from the desk and walk to the door.

Recently we bought three fish. Conrad has been noticing more animals lately and I thought he would enjoy watching gold fish. After about one day, two of the fish died but the other one lived about a week longer. Conrad was around when I found the last fish at the bottom of the tank. Since he enjoys flushing the toilet I let him come with me to the bathroom to 'bury' the fish. After I dropped the fish in Conrad says 'swimming, swimming' I then tried to explain that the fish was dead and told him to flush the toilet. He did and now every time that we go into the bathroom for his bath he will stop by the toilet and say (or at random times during the day, like while riding in the car looking at a book with fish in it), 'fish, died, flushed it'.

Conrad and his Dad love to wrestle. Every day after his Dad has lunch, Conrad will walk into our bedroom and ask his Dad to wrestle on the bed with him. His Dad has since taught him to finish the sentence 'let's get ready to...Rumble!' Conrads cute, loud 'Rumble' is so fun to hear.

Conrad has a small repertoire of songs that he knows parts of or others that he likes when I sing to him. At breakfast one morning he went through his list and it went something like this; 'I know, I know (Psych), baby, baby oh (Justin Bieber), Happyloula (his version of hallelujah)'. The ones that he has asked me to sing are 'baby song' (Rock a by Baby) and 'Jesus loves' (Jesus loves me). I have yet to tire of singing to him when he asks and I always love it when he starts to sing for me.
