Van-isms

We are so proud of Van!

Yesterday, at his Rookie Sports awards ceremony, Van won "the curiosity award."

His coach said "well, Van likes to make lots of observations--then finds his own way to interpret the new skill." :)

While receiving his medal, Van interrupted the coach to say "I think I just heard something go BONK."

I want to record some of my favorite Van-isms. 

Van loves daydreaming about the day he can drive me to the chicken store (thats Chic-fil-a). He tells me that I will ride in the carseat and he will be big enough to drive.

He wants to take me to the chicken store near the ho-mart (that's Wal-Mart).

When we ask: "Van, would you like another baby sister or baby brother?" Van replies: "No, I want to keep Jeanie."

Me: Well, if you did have a baby brother or sister, what would you name him or her?

Van: How about Johnis? [insert lots of Van, mom, and dad cackles here]

Van's preschool teacher pulled me to the side one afternoon to explain her astonishment with Van:

                           

 "I took them out to the playground today. It was so cold, there was ice all over the slide. I asked the kids--'where did all of this ice come from?' To which Van replied--'Ms. Cathy...ice comes from water.'"

 

 

Van is asking the Easter Buddy for a drum set. He is very specific that the drum set MUST have "a cymbal drum." I showed him a picture of a little toddler drum set and he said, NO mom. Not like that one. It does not have the cymbal drum like Con Henwey (Don Henley).

 

 

Lastly, per Pop-Pop's influence...

 

Van's favorite one-liner:

 

"You can check out any time you'd like,

But you can neh-nur weeve!" [insert ferocious air guitar playing here]
