Daddy: Okay.
Alex: I will wake up Claire and come close my door, can you say that?

Alex: This is my backpack, I'm gonna take it to school. Claire’s gonna take it to Miss Turner’s class, and I'm gonna take it to Miss Woody’s class. I'm gonna show it to Ian and Everett.


Alex: I done doing this game. I'm not doing it anymore.


(Alex and Daddy finish the Cars jigsaw puzzle.)

Alex: I don't know the words.
Daddy: When the…
Alex: …moon hits your eye like big pizza pie, that's moray.


(after brushing teeth)
Alex: I don't how to spit. Maybe I will use my cup with Mommy after nap. And you’re gonna stay downstairs and watch TV, okay? You’re gonna watch football.

Alex: These are my slippers. You can't have them! They're mine. I love these slippers.
Daddy: Who are you talking to?
Alex: You.

Alex: I got the car slippers, I didn't want the Spider-Man slippers. They didn’t have Diego.
Daddy: They didn’t have Diego slippers?
Alex: No. Maybe they put them at the other slippers store.

Alex: I wanna put them on for a few minutes and I will wear them and I will drive around the tr-- around the road.


Alex: They need to go to sleep ‘cause the smell came in here.
Alex: The smell came in my nose.


(playing house)

The Boy: I wanna plant some flowers.
The Mommy: You wanna plant some flowers?
The Boy: Yeah. Flowers are over here. Oh – we need some watering cans.

The Boy: Daddy said yes, Mommy. Daddy said yes, Mommy.

Alex: Will you play with the Mommy? She will play with the birdhouse and clean out the old nest.
