According to Aaron Jr.

.

While praying Aaron Jr asked for the Mouse and the Princess movie. (The Tale of Despereaux)
(April 2009)

* * *

Aaron: I like Jesus. He's cute.
(April 2009)

* * *

While watching a toy commercial.

Aaron: Mama, I want one of those.

Me: You do?

Aaron: Yeah. We must get one for me.

* * *

Aaron stood behind me and put his arms around my neck.

Aaron: How about a piggy back?

Me: Oh man, my back hurts so much.

So he had a great idea.

Aaron: How about a small piggy back?

I had to laugh and how could I resist?

* * *

Me: Guess where you get to go tomorrow?

Aaron: Where?

Me: The dentist.

He looked disappointed, so...

Me: They are going to make sure all of the sugar bugs are off your teeth.

Aaron: (in a whiny voice) No! I don't want the sugar bugs to be off.

(feb 2010)

* * *

Regarding his playdough:

Aaron: What happened to this?

Me: I don't know... what happened?

Aaron: I think it has mouse juice in it.

Me: Mouse juice?

Aaron: It has rat juice in it.

(I have no idea, but I had to giggle)

* * *

Aaron: Mom, did you know I don't have a baby sister?

Me: Yeah, I did. (with a sad tone to my voice)

Aaron: Yeah, we must get one for me.

* * *

Me: Aaron, were you a good boy in class today? (referring to church)

Aaron: Well, I didn't hit my teacher.

(may 2010)

* * *

Me: Aaron, what happened to your lip? (which looked red and swollen on one side)

Aaron: Well, I was hungry. (then pointing to his lip) And this tastes good.

* * *

Aaron: My tummy hurts. I think I ate too many Starburst. I think pink bubble gum will make it feel better.

* * *

Aaron: Hey mommy wait! Jesus Christ makes everyone's big owies feel better.

Me: You're right! Is He making yours feel better?

Aaron: (head nod)

* * *

Out of the blue...

Aaron: Jesus Christ built us with instructions.

* * *

Aaron: Mom, I know where the food goes. (pointing to his chest as though showing where the food goes down)

Me: Wow, good job!

Aaron: Now tell me I'm a genius.

Me: (while giggling) You're a genius!

* * *

The smoke alarm kept going off and we were scrambling to open doors and fan the smoke away, when Aaron says:

Aaron: IT'S FREAKING ME UP !!!
I couldn't stop laughing.

* * *

In his prayer:

Aaron: bless we can all be still alive and our hearts will be in ourselves.

* * *

Aaron: my bum was hurting because I was scratching it for a very long time.

* * *

Aaron: Mom, I'm gonna beat you to the car. (racing)

Me: Oh man! You Won!

Aaron: Mom, sorry my shoes are so fast.

* * *

Aaron: Mom, do you know who and what I love?

Me: Who?

Aaron: I love candy and you.

Me: Oh?

Aaron: But I love you more and candy much.

* * *

Me: (softly) I love you so much.

Aaron: What did you say?

Me: I love you so much.

Aaron: (as he laughed) Oh, I heard you say 'I love you like a sandwich'.

* * *

While looking at a photo of Michael with his birthday cake.

Aaron: Are those toys on top or candy?

Me: Toys.

Aaron: Toys are really hard to eat, so Michael shouldn't eat them.

* * *

In his prayer:

Aaron: bless we won't punch our eyeballs out.

* * *

Aaron: If I was Daddy, you and me could go on a date and go everywhere that's beautiful.

* * *

(finding Aaron Jr eating candy)

Me: Aaron, are you eating this?

Aaron: Yes.

Me: But you brushed your teeth already!

Aaron: (with his hands up in the air all frustrated) What was I thinking about?

(So funny)

* * *

Aaron was playing his Lego Star Wars game.

Aaron: watch what this guy can do with his head.

Me: he can use the force.

Aaron: hey how did you know that?

Me: because I saw that movie when I was little.

Aaron: when you were a boy?... or when you were a girl?

* * *

In his prayer:

Aaron: bless when I am bigger, I can play with dangerous things.

(dec 2010)

* * *

In his prayer:

Aaron: bless that everyone can have a better life.

(dec 2010)

Aaron sounds things out for me often: This is him sounding out the movie 'Ice Age' for me.
Aaron: mom, say 'I'

Me: 'I'

Aaron: 'Sage'

Me: 'Sage' Ice Age :)

(dec 2010)

* * *

Aaron tapping his foot on the floor:

Aaron: I'm Humper.

Me: Who?

Aaron: Don't you remember Humper from Bambi? ...He humps?

Me: Oh right! (as I am cracking up laughing on the inside)

(dec 2010)

* * *
In his prayer:

Aaron: Bless everyone's life to not be ruined.

(dec 2010)

In his prayer:

(jan 2011)

* * *

Aaron Jr is all boy. After he tooted...

Aaron: that was a lucky one.

Me: why was it a lucky one?

Aaron: because I've been waiting for a loud toot forever.

Me: haha. Aaron that was gross.

Aaron: haha. thank you.

(jan 2011)

* * *

Speaking of his 6 month old cousin.

Aaron: Mom, Andrew's cheeks are cozy.

(march 2011)

* * *

While I was looking through old photos of Aaron Jr:

Aaron: Is that me? Was I that little? Did I eat ice cream when I was that little?

Me: Yes. :)
(Then he sees another photo of himself painting with finger paints:)

Aaron: (huge smile) I LIKE me. ... I LIKE me.

(March 2011)

* * *

Aaron Jr trying to act really tough after I told him we were not going to McDonalds:

Aaron: If you don't take me to McDonalds, I'm going to throw my boots in the garbage.

Me: Okay, go ahead. (smile)

Aaron: Get me a happy meal or I'll throw YOUR boots in the garbage too.

(he was trying to act so tough through a half smile)

Me: If we go, you have to use your own money.

Aaron: Okay... (goes to get his wallet)

Me: You want to use ALL of this money in your wallet to go to McDonalds?

Aaron: Yes.

Me: It will all be gone then.

Aaron: I will have to get some more.

Me: Where?

Aaron: I will just find some in people's houses and keep it to go to McDonalds.

(THAT is when we had to have a serious talk so he knew that was stealing... hopefully he understands. :)

(March 2011)

* * *
Aaron: Ode didn't smile at me.

Me: When?

Aaron: When Jesus took his spirit to heaven.

(march 2011)

* * *

When I start to count to three to help him obey, he says things like:

Aaron: Don't count, it makes me embarrassed.

Aaron: Don't count, it makes me boring.
He just throws out whatever word he thinks will make an impact. :)
(early 2011)

* * *
In his prayer:
Aaron: bless my daddy is looking at me.
(march 2011)

* * *
Aaron's leg got stuck between his mattress and footboard of his bed:
Aaron: ah, crap nuts!
(I guess I say the word 'crap' too often... oops :)

* * *
Aaron: I miss Ode. Maybe we can dig him up and see how well he is.
(april 2011)

* * *
Aaron: Was Daddy looking at me today?
Me: What do you think?
Aaron: Yeah.
Me: What makes you think he was looking at you?
Aaron: Because he always is.
(april 2011)

* * *
As he sat against the wall to say his prayer, his hiccups were making his head hit the wall softly every time he hiccuped.
In his prayer...
Aaron: bless I can get better and not have hiccups so I don't hit the wall when I have the hiccups.
(april 2011)

* * *
After having a snowball fight with some neighbor kids...
Aaron: Why were those kids throwing snowballs at us?

Aaron Jr: Daddy's coming too.
Me: How do you know that?
Aaron Jr: Because he's still with us.

Me: Why?
Aaron Jr: Because I'm scared.
Me: Why are you scared?
Aaron Jr: I'm scared that something will happen to me. Something that will make me die. Do you want me to die?

So cute!
(Jan 2012)

* * *

I was cleaning out Aaron's ears with Q-tips and he always likes to look at them to see the ear wax that is on the Q-tip. He usually says "Ewww", but this time:
Aaron Jr: Mmm, that looks like caramel. I wish my ear wack was caramel, so people could eat my ear wack.
(He calls ear wax "ear wack' because he thinks 'ear wax' is plural and 'ear wack' is singular. HA!)
(Jan. 2012)

* * *

Aaron was sitting next to me and started wiggling back and forth, then said with an innocent look on his face and innocent sound to his voice:
Aaron Jr: What? I'm just shaking my bum.
(Feb. 2012)

* * *

Aaron sounds out words for me. :)

* * *

When Aaron Jr writes me notes with random letters on them, he then asks me what they say. So I will sound out what the random letters say, and he will say, "no, read it."
So then I will make something up, and he will ask, "how did I know how to write it?"
Its so cute.

(Feb. 2012)

* * *

After I got done helping Aaron fill out his tithing slip...
Aaron Jr: How does Heavenly Father get our tithing?
Me: We give it to the Bishop to put it in the bank so Heavenly Father can use it for His church.
Aaron Jr: And then the Bishop throws it in the air with a balloon?
Me: Why do you think he throws it in the air with a balloon?
Aaron Jr: Because there is no other way to get it to Heavenly Father. We can't use a ladder or anything like that. Its the same way we send things to daddy... with balloons.

We were talking about Boyd K Packer and we discussed that he is the senior Apostle and if President Monson dies, President Packer would be the next Prophet. Aaron then asked who would take his place as an Apostle? I told him that they would have to call someone to be an Apostle. Aaron was very thoughtful for a few moments and he thought about it and said he might... if they needed someone... he would be willing to volunteer. He then wondered about being an Apostle AND a wood carpenter (because that is what he wants to be when he grows up). He asked how long they are an Apostle and I told him that it is for the rest of their lives. He asked if you still get to see your family and I told him yes.
~ I thought it was so sweet that he was willing to take on the task if they need him to... if they need a volunteer. His questions were so sincere. So sweet.

Me: Aaron, when you're up in front of the church singing for Fathers Day, how does it makes you feel?
Aaron Jr: Good... and embarrassed.
Me: Why embarrassed?
Aaron Jr: because I'm up in front of everybody.
Me: Why does it make you feel good?
Aaron Jr: because I'm making people happy.
Me: Who does it make happy?
Aaron Jr: Grandpa, because he's the one that is there for me [to listen to me].
Me: Do you ever think that Daddy is there listening?
Aaron Jr: Yes.
Me: Where do you picture him being?
Aaron Jr: Sitting next to you.
(love this boy)
