Some little Bridger-isms

Last night I asked Bridger to go down to the basement and bring up Kennedy's blanket for me.
He says: "Mom, I don't like going down there by myself. I just noticed that the fireplace has eyes. Sometimes it looks at me and I don't like that."

Great, Bridger--now I'm scared of the fireplace!

Getting ready in the morning, Bridger comes in and says "Wow, mom, you look great!" I love that kid!

Talking to Paul (our neighbor) outside this afternoon:

Paul: "Nice Scooter, Bridger. Did you get that for Christmas?"
Bridger: "No, I got it for going poop."

Okay, he got it for being completely potty trained, but does he really have to tell everyone???

And, if ever he senses that I have a need or want he says; "Dad, we need to go take mom to get some new _______ and she needs more ______. Let's go do that Dad, Mom would be so proud!"

Yes, that last one is my favorite! Really, we never have gotten what Bridger thinks I need (currently snowboots), but I love that he is looking out for me :)

I'm so glad you finally did this!! I want to see this as a recurring post, like once a week because seriously that kid is HILARIOUS. The poop comment is my favorite. If you ever get sick of him, you know where to send him. :)

That little Bridger!! What a crack-up! I hope that when Finn grows up he shares that same kind of concern for me! :)

Boys are so sweet and caring aren't they? I love 'em! Bridger is so funny too. I'll have to look in your fireplace next time and see if I can see the eyes.
