Since Dean has been sleeping in a twin bed, he usually wakes me up in the morning. And let me be the first to tell you: he always has A LOT to say! He always comes in my room rambling about several different things, none of which are related in any way to one another. It is pretty funny to try to follow the conversation so this morning I recorded it on my cell phone once I heard him say my name from my doorway (I pretended to keep sleeping for fun because my favorite part is always him telling me to wake up).

Dean: "Mommy? Mommy? Mommy, wake up! Wake up!"

Mommy: "Good Morning, Sunshine!"

Dean: "I want play Shannon."

Mommy: "Oh, you want Shannon? Well, Shannon's at school."

Dean: "Shannon school. I want Crystal."

Mommy: "Crystal's at school, too, Baby."

Dean: "Mater, Light-Queen, [Where] Are you? I want Light-Queen! Ka-Toww!"

Mommy: "Good job, Baby. Lightning McQueen says Ka-chow. What does Mater say?"

Dean: "Dag-oom! I want car button, Mommy."

Mommy: "Okay, Dean. Go play wit car button. It's in your playroom."

Dean: "Yeah. Play car button. And Mater, Light-Queen!" (giggles)

Dean: "Mommy?"

Mommy: "Yeah, Baby?"

Dean: "I want milk."

Mommy: "You want milk? Should we go downstairs and get food too?"

Dean: (excitedly) "Good idea, Mommy!"

Mommy: "Thank you, Baby."

I turned off the cell phone at this point but on our way down the stairs Dean reminded me to "get baby brother, too" and "baby down-tairs, Mommy." What a concerned older brother. Too cute.
