On Wednesday Andrew and I were watching the news together in the morning as I sipped my morning coffee. Melania Trump appeared on the screen and he looked at me and said excitedly, ‘Mommy! She looks like you!.’ Politics aside, Melania can certainly put herself together. On any day she’s a far cry from the old PJ pants, stretched out maternity tee-shirt and frizzy hair I was sporting at that moment. I stood a little taller that day thinking maybe my son really thinks his mama is pretty. I mean Melania and I did look the same according to him….

The next day Andrew and I were reading books together after dinner. We flipped the page and I heard it again ‘Mommy! She looks like you!’. Wait…. WTF?! According to Andrew I’m a cross between Melania Trump and a cubby, green faced witch with warts. 

With a ‘wiper towel’ of course! 

– the world according to Andrew

So much for a cute morning selfie with the boys! ?

We’ve been teaching Andrew the idea of last names recently. He’s definitely catching on and will pretty consistently say ‘Phillips’ when you ask him his last name. He also understands that mommy has another name called Kristi and daddy has another name; Andy. So with all this understanding I thought it was a no-brainer when I asked what Teddy’s last name is. His response: ‘Bear.’ ? So according to Andrew Teddy’s full name is ‘Teddy Bear.’

Perhaps I should cut back from using my Teddy Bear nickname a bit!

When given a choice for anything these days- books, shows, snacks, etc.- Andrew has a clear response. ‘I choose….I choose THE BEST!’ ? Of course! We like how he thinks. Obviously we all want the best!

Little goober.

Andy’s away on business this whole week and Andrew clearly has him on his mind. This morning he shared this with me unprompted and verbatim. ‘I had fun in my dreams. I had fun with daddy in my dreams.’ ❤️love their special bond! 

Pinecones according to Andrew! 🙂

‘Bye mommy. I wear daddy shoes and go to the store!’

Andrew’s quirky personality and blossoming language keeps us smiling daily. He has two frequently used sayings that are so simple, so obvious and so true, that it’s comical. Use your imagination and picture a pint size little boy with big blue eyes and dimple in the following:

(1) The scene: Nap time and Andrew refuses to sleep. He walks to his bedroom door (there is a gate up so he can’t wander) and yells at the top of his lungs with extreme assertion, ‘I’m awake! I’m awake! I’M AWAKE!’

Sitting downstairs I breath a sigh and think to myself, ‘Yeah, no sh*t.’ Nap time over. End scene.

(2) The scene: Driving in the car and Andrew in his car seat. He’s declared that he wants to go home and is done in the car. As he tries to wiggle out of his seat he yells, ‘I’m stuck! I’m stuck! I’m STUUUUCK!’

We chuckle to ourselves and say, ‘Yup, that’s the whole point buddy.’ End scene.

While the humor may be lost in translation here, we find it pretty hilarious and love our little comedian!
