"My belly button needs carrot cake."

Ok, here's my cute Tate story. :)

Tate asked my sister one day how the baby eats. So she explained to him that the nutrients from the food she eats travels through the umbilical cord which connects to the baby's belly button.
So when he was over my house Friday night and wanted more lasagna, he said "Jen, my belly button is very hungry." LOL. We were all laughing and saying how cute that was, so of course that only encouraged him to keep going with it. :) After his 3rd helping, he switched to the dessert. "Aunt Jen, my belly button wants a treat. It's very hungry and it needs carrot cake."

Heee. Isn't that cute? Oh, and to make it cuter, picture a 4 year old saying it, and he pronounces button "butting". *giggle*

Sooo cute. Aren't they too much at that age. We babysat our niece this weekend and here's the one that got me. "Auntie Carey? I don't like you. I looooove you"
"Auntie Carey? will you pull poopy dog's tail so he will make the poopoo pellets? Mommy told me that I can't eat the poopoo pellets though."

Very cute. They are so funny with their words.

Conner has a hard time with the "l" sound. Instead of "la," he says "wa." For a while, I would say, "Conner, look at my mouth. It's 'la, la, la.'" He would get very mad at me. Now it's kind of a running joke. He'll say, "la, la, la" for everything.

And I love the name Tate. Very cute.

Hehe, that is cute!

My TA for my math class sometimes says "asshole" instead of "also."

Oh, and MTW, as long as it has the word cake in it, he likes it. *grin*

I hope you're writing all of these Tate-isms down. Give him a list of them when he's 21.
