This is a cozy blanket.

Daddy: Alex, can you pick out a pull-up?
Daddy: Do you want to pick out a pull-up or do you want me to pick one out?
Alex: No, I’m gonna tell you what Claire got me. At the mall, Claire got me another cold.


Alex: No, Claire, those are my sweaters!


(snack time)
Alex: There’s no more cheese, there’s no more cake, and after this, there’s no more blueberries.


Alex: Oops, Science Kid ran in that other house! The neighbor’s house.
Daddy: Oh, Science Kid!


Alex: At school, Cake said put that Elly away, and I didn’t.
Daddy: You didn’t?
Alex: Yeah. But Troy got Elly back for me. He said, “Cake don’t say that to Alex.”


Alex: Daddy, I’m having some trouble pooping.
Daddy: Okay. What can I do?
Alex: You have to fix my pants, and then I can poop.
Alex: And, that wheel, those two wheels are broke from the truck.


Alex: Daddy?
Daddy: Yes, Alex?
Alex: We have a hanger on the door for Science Kid to look at.
Alex: It’s not Christmas yet, but we can still look at it if it’s not Christmas.


Alex: Daddy! Daddy, fix my pants so I can poop.
Alex: Can you fix my pants?
Daddy: Um, I’ll try.

Alex: Daddy’s gonna fix my pants so I can poop, Claire.


(nap time)

(Daddy is singing Twinkle, Twinkle.)
Alex (interrupting): This is a cozy blanket.

Daddy (leaving Alex’s room): Have a good nap.
Alex (calling after Daddy): Have a good nap. Have a good nap, daddy!


(Claire and Alex are pushing strollers. Claire starts crying; Daddy goes to rescue her.)
Daddy: What happened?
Alex: Claire fell down.
Daddy: What happened? Why did she fall down?
Alex: Because she went faster and faster and she fell down.
Daddy: Did she bump into something?
Alex: No, she just went faster and faster. I didn’t do it.


Alex: I don’t have some trouble pooping, Daddy.
Daddy: Okay good. Are you pooping now?
Alex: Yeah.


Alex: Daddy, you see what’s on it? There’s dragons!
Daddy: Oh!
Alex: And it says… Science Kid looks better by… and having a good nap.
Daddy: Okay.


Claire: Ball. Ball. Daddy?! Ball!


Alex: Daddy?
Daddy: Yes, Alex?
Alex: No one’s on the phone. It’s not working.
Alex: I have to – I have to get the camera, and get some people in it. I have to go get the camera, and be right back.
(Alex runs into the other room.)
Alex (calling out): Camera? Where are you? There you are! Camera!
(Alex starts taking pictures.)


Alex: Daddy, take pictures, riiiight now! One, two… one! All right, you’re getting a time out.
Alex: Daddy, I’m taking you to time out.
Daddy: Okay. Why am I getting a timeout?
Alex: Because you didn’t take pictures.


Alex : A magazine, Daddy! Grandma sent me a magazine!


Alex (to Claire): Go make Thanksgiving dinner! Go make Thanksgiving dinner over there, I’m reading a magazine!
Alex (to Claire): No, over there! Over there, towards the wall! That’s my kitchen.


Alex: Would someone like a tomato?


Alex: I wanna play with the stroller!
Mommy: Do you wanna play with the stroller or do you just want Claire to not play with the stroller?
Alex: I want Claire to not play with the stroller.
Mommy (laughing): At least you’re honest!
