Conversations with Cruz (and some -isms)

As we were eating cereal this morning (just me and the Cruz meister) he looks across the table at me and said, "How was Mutual?" FYI I had mutual on Tuesday, but everytime he wants to talk he asks me about Mutual. I told him it was pretty good and then proceeded to ask him about Nursery. With a big smile on his face (because I asked about his day) he said, "It was good. But Daddy said I couldn't bring cars." I reminded him how nice it was that Nursery had some cars to share.

"But the other kids weren't sharing with me,"

"Oh no! What did you say to them?"

"Just nasty words so I could get them," (of course with his Cruz smerk on his face)

before I could use any motherly teaching on him and ask if there was something else he could have done, he quickly added, "and the other girls were nakie in there!"

Ahhh! Can't wait until you're 16 my son :)

"I'm not a boy--I'm a Daddy!"

"I don't need some milk--the track is always lit. Kachow."

"When I go to bed, then I will come out and ask you a question?"

"Mom but its wake up time--It's 7 o'clock!" (When he is supposed to be taking an afternoon nap)

Over the holidays Cruz heard often, "You're special" or "Your precious" from various family members. He always responded, "NO I'm NOT, I'm CRUZ MILLER NOBMANN!"

"Probably I really will"

"Probably I don't want one"

(or most anything starting with Probably)

Driving in the car he likes to listen to music, often asking for the 'Cars' songs and more recently 'Tonight's going to be a good good night'. He tells me that I can be the air guitar and he will be the singer.

After Cruz prayed at dinner he said to Beau,

"Dad, I prayed that Jesus won't get killed on the blessing."

"You mean that Jesus won't get killed on the cross?"

"Yea, he will. He did."

When we play with Cruz he has explicit instructions as to how we can play and what to do. We often hear, "NOT LIKE THAT?!?"

"Oh no! There's commercinals!"

As cocky and confident as Cruz is, he is very cautious and a bit nervous to try new things. Cruz can hold his own with

Oshyn and loves to wrestle. If he is losing he knows how to make us turn--by screaming like a woman. I hate screaming. Cruz is definitely a cheese ball and loves to make us all laugh and is VERY successful at that!
