Kate: "Well I guess it is a meat, a carb and dairy."
Erik: "Yep. I also wanted to add crumbled up tortilla chips but it didn't make sense because I'm eating tortilla chips later during the [Superbowl] game."
Kate: "Yeah, the chips don't make sense."
After observing me give lots and lots of Landon kisses one morning...
Erik: "We should set a limit of kisses so we don't create a Buster [re: Arrested Development character] situation. How about 50 kisses..."
Kate interrupts: "...an hour?"
Erik: "I was going to say per day, Kate. Even then, that's generous."
Coming up with a name for a Sunflower toy that Landon has been playing with...
Kate: Landon, we need a name for the sunflower. How about Steven?
Erik in the background: Why can't you just name her something like Sunny?
Kate: Too predictable. *eye roll*
Erik: Of course.
Regarding that last quote, I will admit I'm not very gifted at many things, but I do think I have a knack for naming inanimate objects (and their own special quotes). It's been my forte for a couple decades now. Landon's best buds for the moment are...
Olly the Owl ("hoot, hoot")Yep, being a full time mom sure does require a heightened level of intelligence.
Henry the Hedgehog ("dig, dig, dig")
Fritz the Fox ("aah-ooo")
Richard the Raccoon ("scratch, scratch, nosh, nosh")
Fannie the Frog ("ribbity rib rib ribbit")
Elliot the Elephant ("hey Landon")
...and now Steven the Sunflower ("like, oh my gosh, hey Landon!")
There are also two sassy butterflies on his jungle mat named Princess and Orangello (pronounced oh-rahn-zha-lo) who like to call him "sugar."

Now that we have established we read each other's blogs, I can leave comments! And this post was hilarious! I might have to steal this idea from you!
