Noah's latest quotes

Noah has a sensitive sense of smell. After using the bathroom, he called me in to help him wipe. When I came in, he seemed distraught and expressed the reasons for his frustrations: "I am so mad about that poop! It's so stinky! I won't ever poop out that guy again!"

Noah is not a big fan of wearing underwear (until just recently, when we got him some Transformers undies that he really loves). Once I told him he needed to put some on under his shorts. He said: "but mom, do you know that I usually just pretend that I am wearing undies?" Wouldn't that be something if pretending to be clothed was enough?

One morning Noah wanted cereal for breakfast. (Actually that is his first choice every morning.) When he saw that we were out of milk, instead of crying like a child, he said to me in a no-nonsense tone: "Mom, the milk is gone. I trust that I can have a bagel?"

He added the word "Dominate" to his vocabulary. One morning a 7-year-old boy was playing at our house, and apparently Noah was getting the upperhand in their friendly games/ competitions because Noah kept gloating to him: "I dominated you!" Other applications of his new favorite word: I told him to clean up his mess, and he said: "If you don't talk nice to me, I'm going to dominate you!" One morning he downed his breakfast in record time and declared: "I dominated that cereal!" And he threatened Kyle: "Don't you get mad at me, or I'll dominate you!"

While watching tv, a commercial came on for French's Fried Onions. Noah ran into the kitchen and exclaimed: "Mom! Did you know that eating french fried onions makes people so happy???! Let's have them tonight!!" Apparently that friend onions company is running a very successful advertising campaign among the 3-year-old age bracket.

Noah has been asking questions about his boy parts. One of his curious moments ended this way: "Daddy was in the bathroom with the shower on. I saw his butt! But then he closed the door, and I ran out of time!"
