Um, let’s go see a snowman what has a lotta heads.

(Both kids are still in bed.)
Claire: Mama! Mama!
Alex (to himself): She’s calling “Mama, Mama”.


(at breakfast)
Alex: (mumble) my tongue!
Daddy: What’s the matter?
Alex: My tongue.
Daddy: You bit your tongue?
Alex: No, I hurt my tongue, and I bit my tongue.


Claire (to Mommy): Aw run. Fast.


Alex: It’s your turn, Claire. You wanna play with it?
Claire: Aw pah-wi-it.

Alex: It’s your lunch cucumber, Daddy.


Alex: Grommie, you have to stay here. Santa’s not gonna talk to you today.


Alex: Are you gonna go to the store?
Mommy: Yeah.
Alex: I don’t want you to go to the store.
Mommy: Why?
Alex: Because you have to stay home.


(Mommy and Alex are making cookies for Santa.)
Daddy: Alex, are you gonna eat a cookie?
Alex: ‘Kay.
Daddy: What are you not gonna eat?
Alex: Uh… I don’t know.
Daddy: What do you think you’re not gonna eat, Alex?
Alex: I don’t know what I’m gonna not eat.
Daddy: Alex, are you gonna eat a ball of globby dough?
Alex: No. I’m gonna eat a cookie, Daddy.


Alex: I’m trying to fix this cabinet for Claire, but I can’t and Claire can’t play in my new cabinet because the cookies are pocked, and so I’m pulling the pakula, and cherding the (mumble) away.


Alex: Cookies! Cookies! Cookies!
Alex: I wanna be that one’s mine and that one’s Claire’s and that one’s Daddy’s, and that one’s Mommy’s. Can we eat our new cookies what I said?
Mommy: In just a minute.
Alex: I wanna eat that cookie. I wanna eat that one. That one’s mine.

Alex: I’m waiting, Mommy.


Alex (lying on his back on the floor, with his feet in the air): My feet are up on the ceiling upside-down.

Alex: Can you make me go on the ceiling? Can you make me go on the ceiling all the way up there? Can you make me go on the ceiling?


Alex: I’m not washing hands!
Mommy: You already did, who wants a cookie?
Alex: ME!

Alex: I want more cookies!
Mommy: You do? How do you get more?
Alex: Pleeease?
Mommy: May I have another cookie, please?
Alex: May I have another cookie, please?
