• You suggested frozen pizza for dinner and I said we didn't have one.  You told me "It's in the microwave.  Vacuum.  Hallway.  Kitchen thing.  It's in the freezer in the garage!"

Mac

• "Pick a card.  Is it an ace?"

• When we asked what you wanted to be for Halloween you immediately said Santa Claus.  You knew what you wanted and never changed your mind.

That's one tough lookin' Santa

Romeo

• "What the crap were you thinking, Dad?!"

• Another time you found a spider hidden somewhere "Really, Dad?"
• During the pumpkin walk we asked you who you wanted to be your buddy?  Of course you chose Annette's 15 year old daughter and of course you held hands with her the entire time. 
• During the pumpkin walk you were also pretty offended that some of the pumpkins were designed to look like someone's backside.

Poppie

• You kept calling the dog's collar a "neck-yess"
• You tried to open the door to go outside and said "Door locked."  No, it's not.  "Yes.  It is."
• We have definitely entered the "terrible twos."  You have been the only one who has done it.  You are very determined and stubborn and you do not like being told that you're wrong.
• Your lisp.  It kills me every time.
• When we went on the pumpkin walk with Annette and her family you wanted "Nette" to hold you the whole time.  You reached for me once, and I held you for about two seconds before you lunged back to Nette's arms.
• On the hay ride to get pumpkins you screams "Pun-kin!" every time you saw one on the ground.  You were so excited about all the "pun-kins" both on the hay ride and once we brought ours home.

  

  Say "Candy!"

• I put you to bed and tucked you in then went to Poppie and got my "hug and a squeeze and a kiss."  You started saying something over and over and stood up.  I didn't know what you were saying but when I walked over to you you took out your binkie and puckered up.
