Daisy wanted to eat the crust of Andy’s sandwich at lunch. He said, “No, Daisy! You’ll die!”
Andy: There’s snow outside. It’s going to snow on the roof. Me: N0. The weather man said that it might snow, but he was wrong. There’s no snow. Andy: He disobeyed. December 2010
Andy and Daisy began sharing a bedroom this month (December 2010). After having put them to bed, Daisy got in trouble and had to be disciplined – she was crying and very upset about this. Afterward we heard Andy on the monitor saying, “Are you okay, Daisy?” And she replied, “Yeah.” Then he asked her, “Daisy, can you laugh?”
Andy: Can the rain come? Me: Well, I can’t make it rain. I’m not in charge of the rain- Andy: Daddy’s in charge of the rain. October 2010
A great big spider scurried across the sofa while I was folding laundry and I said, “holy cow!” I told Andy he should never touch a spider because he doesn’t know which ones are poisonous. “Andy if you see a spider in the house what are you going to do?” He replied, “Don’t touch him. If you see a cow in our house, then…(?)” October 2010

After telling Andy that I didn’t have his favorite song on my iPod (for it changes every day) and we would have to wait for Seth to get home with his, he said to me, “when you get bigger-bigger, then you can have daddy’s iPod.” September 2010
Just before bed the other night Andy said, “When Daisy wakes up, then she can bother me.” August 2010
During Andy’s nap I could hear him through the monitor saying, “Daddy? Where are you Daddy? You are invisible.” July 2010
After trying to teach Andy the first verse of Rock of Ages, he said to me, “Can we see Jesus?” June 2010 (we decided we needed to teach him what invisible means)
Seth to Andy, on my birthday: I’m glad that we have Mommy. Are you glad that we have Mommy? Andy: We have cake!

Andy had an accident today, during his “Quiet/Play Time.” It didn’t take long to discover his wet shorts, but he told me it was okay because “the trains clean it up.” (probably referring to his Thomas trains) May 2010
During lunch one day, Andy heard the buzzer to the dryer go off, “Bzzzz.” And he gave a little gasp and said, “That was a sound!” “Mommy will talk to it?” May 2010
Andy, Seth and I were all sitting on the bed identifying the letters on Seth’s shirt. I pointed to a the letter ‘A’ and asked him, “What letter is that?” Andy answered, “Quesadilla!”
Getting out of the car and into a stroller at the store the other day, Andy pointed to a pickup truck in the parking lot and said, “That truck is sad.” I then asked, “Sad? Why is he sad?” Andy replied, “Yeah. That silver car is happy! He’s happy.” May 2010
Planting an indoor herb garden.
Seth is lying down o the floor after finishing a gruesome semester. Me: Hey, could you finish feeding Daisy so I can vacuum? Or would you mind vacuuming? Seth: No, I don’t want to vacuum. Andy: No, you lie down. (:

Last night (02/19/10) Andy prayed, “Dear God, thank you for Daisy. Amen.” He received no prompting. (yay!)
Me: “I think it’s time to go to the store.” Andy: “…and buy PIZZA! and sugar too.” February 2010
Daisy discovers some new toys. I suggest to Andy we tell her what everything is. Andy says, “Daisy, everything is. Everything is, Daisy.” February 2010
I guess Andy, while washing his hands, thought it would be a good thing to wash a full roll of toilet paper too.

Andy called a zerbit (blowing on the belly) a “burp-tickle.” November 2009
So, a little boy dressed like Thomas the Tank Engine comes trick-or-treating at our house -Andy is thrilled!- we give him some candy and when it was time to say goodbye…Andy bursts into tears. 10/31/09
