The Denver Burts: New Puppy?

New Puppy?

So we all know how hillarious a two year old can be, especially when they are in "mimik" mode, but this instance was the most funny to date for me, at least. I got home from work a couple of days ago and was chatting with Chris in the front room as Taylor played and ran around. Taylor tends to get a little ancy when he's not the center of Chris and I's world (he has a rude awakening coming in just a few weeks, haha) so desperately trying to get my attention, he runs over and starts tapping my leg saying, "mommy" a million times increasing his volume with each "mommy" that went unanswered until finally I said, "Yes bud, what?" to which he replied...
"Mommy, I want a puppy."

(Chris informed me later that evening that he didn't think Taylor would rememeber their earlier discussion of trying to coerce mommy into getting a puppy and to make sure to ask me. Two year old's have memories like elephants, beware.)

You'll have to be sure and give Layne and I a heads up when you're ready for visitors after Baby Burt comes. We would love to come and see you guys. Love you all!; April 23, 2010 at 7:26 AM
Lindseylou said...: So Chris was using Taylor to get himself a puppy? I've got one for sale. Looks just like a black lab, only it's like 15 lbs full grown. Seriously, he's free...and he's fixed, and has a metal rod in his knee, and knows how to roll over and play fetch. Whatta ya say? I love to read your side bar and read the things Taylor is saying. Still time to come to park city for the girls weekend. You'll have 4 other mommies with you...I'm sure if needs be we can totally deliver a baby. Come on, you know you've always succomed to my peer pressure.; April 23, 2010 at 11:24 AM
Jen said...: Maybe if you call little gal Burt a puppy when you bring her home, the awakening will be a little less rude? Just kidding. Good luck over the next few weeks. Keep us posted -- we're so excited for you all (and wishing you good luck with the transition from one to two underfoot). Call if you need anything.; April 26, 2010 at 1:57 PM

Taylor Talk

Taylor: "That's one fine frog and I'm gonna catch him!"

Taylor: "Dad, can you make me invisible and tiny so that I can jump into the TV and live in Ponyville?"

Taylor: "Umm, I forgot what I was doing, hmm. OH WAIT! I unforgot, nevermind."

Taylor: "My name isn't Taylor anymore. Just call me Ninja, only Ninja."

Taylor: "Isabelle, I'm pretty sure you're ruining my life."

After hearing some loud thunder Tay runs upstairs and says:
"Hey guys! That was some thunder. The bad news is there's a tornado coming. The good news is everything is going to be a huge mess."

After being "asleep" for an hour, Tay comes downstairs and says:
"Mom, Dad, I kindof accidentally played with some toys in my bed and dropped one behind it. Could you come find it for me so I can put it away."

"Mom, who glued my bones together?"

Dad: "Hey Tay, I think I saw some dinosaur tracks outside this morning..."
Tay: "Next time we see the dinosaur I think we should shoot it and eat it."

"Hey Tay, who do you think ruined all your Lego Transformers?"
"Isabelle did, because I call her Isabelle the Destroyer."

"What do you want to get daddy for Christmas, Tay?"
"Lets get him a purse so he can keep all his stuff in it and some cords that he can plug some other stuff into."

"My shirt says Wild to be Born, Bells." Actually it says Born to be Wild. I thought it more entertaining not to correct him the whole day.

"Mommy, can we get another baby from the pet shop?"

"Daddy, I need a cell phone."
"Why do you need a cell phone, Tay?"
"So I can pretend to make a call."

I hear Taylor talking at the top of the stairs after I put him to bed about 15 minutes earlier, talking in his doorway.
"Tay, what are you doing? Get back into bed."
"Its o.k. mom, I'm just telling myself a story."

"Really Mom, really. We're picking up Transformers and you put a blue block in with them? Really, mom?" (All this said with an extremely patronizing look in his eye that I can only guess comes from his father.)

Taylor: "What are we doing today mommy?"
Mom: "We're going swimming with Jake and Jamie."
Taylor: "Oh, um, actually I meant to tell you, I already have some other plan, mom. Sorry."

Hearing Tay calling for me after bed I head up to his room where he promptly tells me his tummy hurts. I say, "How come it hurts, honey?" Tay's response is, "Because I hit myself in the tummy. Can you kiss it better?"

Trying to summarize one of the 15 transformer stories we have I say, "Megatron needed the map to get the spark." Taylor interrupts with, "Mommy, don't you mean Megatron needed the ancient code?"

#48) "Mommy, my bum hurts because I ate too many jelly beans." Totally random, right?

#47) "Don't say I'm your bestfriend mom."
"Why not, Tay?"
"Because I'm dangerous. I'm dangerous because I have a snake on my shirt."

#46) "Oh, mom, if you're going to Target can you pick me up a lightsaber. thanks."

#45) Taylor: "Daddy, can you put my Transformer's leg back on?"
Chris: "Sure. What happened to his leg, anyway?"
Taylor: "Megatron broke it off."

#44) "Isabelle, you are the prettiest girl in the whole world."

#43) "That was one gorgeous poop I made."

#42) As Taylor woke up from his nap and headed downstairs, Isabelle and myself were watching him. To this he said, "Don't look at me, I'm too special."

#41) "What are you drawing there, Tay?"
" A Masterpiece."

#40) "Mom, can I go live on the moon?"

#39) "Mom, can I have a warm dog and a hot dog for lunch?"

#38) I had asked Taylor to wait for me upstairs while I finished some things in the kitchen before nap. He waited for a bit and then yelled down the stairs, "HEY LADY! come read me a story!"

#37) "This aspargagas is bad. Send it back to the kitchen!"
