Conrad Quotables

My little boy is two years old and as his vocabulary continues to expand, I am trying to hold onto and remember all of his fun new phrases and words.  Here are a few that have stood out recently.

When asked what a particular family member says, Conrad will respond with the following (these are phrases that we have trained him in, but I think they are still cute).
Question: What does Pappa (grandpa) say?
Answer: Hey Buddy!
Question: What does Grandma say?
Answer: The prince is coming!
Question: What does Mommy say?
Answer: Lame!
Question: What does Daddy say?
Answer: DUDE!

Coming home from a date night recently, my husband and I were talking to the sitter about how the night went.  It was stated that they were impressed with how polite Conrad was and they liked the songs that he knew.  They stated that at one point in the evening he said 'the B-I-B-L-E', paused and then loudly exclaimed 'BIBLE!'  My husband and I were very impressed, mostly because we had not taught him that song.  He must have picked it up on his own from the music he listens to while going to sleep and the songs sung during Sunday School.

He is on a song kick currently and will randomly break out into song while in the car, eating his breakfast or when asked to leave a birthday phone message.  The titles tracks are "Jesus Loves Me", "The ABC's", and when coxed he does a good rendition of "Happy Birthday".

I went running Friday morning.  Conrad was all bundled up in the stroller, knit cap on and everything.  We are going along and with my visor on, I don't notice the light mist that has started to fall.  Through most of the run I have been talking to Conrad about the cars that are driving by - he is partial to any big bus - and the color of the flowers that are blooming along the road.  At one point Conrad starts saying 'shower, shower'.  Thinking he is asking to take a shower when we get home, I tell him that we need to get back home first.  He pauses, and then points to the tray on his stroller and says 'water'.  It was at this point that I notice the mist.  Though I have tried to teach him about rain, poor San Diegan kid can only link water falling from the sky to a shower.
