Conversations Between Siblings

At this point the conversations are still a little one sided, but they still have there only little chats.  Here are just a few things they said today.

Elizabeth insisted on putting Grant down for his nap and she was actually successful...eventually.

EB "Buddy, it is time to go so sleep."
Grant "Wait!"
EB "Nobody is coming Grant. Not mommy. Not daddy. Not Elizabeth.  Your light is not green yet." (we have a teaching alarm clock for him)
...about ten minutes later he is still awake and fussing and Elizabeth is having a tea party in the play room.
Me "Do you think he needs his back rubbed?"
EB "Sure mom, I will take care of it"
I am not really sure how she did it, but they were both quiet as mice for the next hour!

Today in the car:
EB "Did it take you long to fall asleep last night?"
Grant "yeah"
EB "It took me about 20 minutes.  How long did it take you? About 20 minutes?"
Grant "yeah"

Later in the car:
EB "You are justing being a big hot dog"
Me "Don't call your brother a hot dog"
EB "I wasn't talking to him, I was talking to someone else"
Me "Really?"
EB "Yes, someone else, not Grant!"

At bed time I had just tucked Grant in and I get summoned back to Elizabeth's room and she requests that I sing her the McDonalds song.
Me "I didn't even sing your brother the McDonalds song tonight" I start singing it to her but in a whisper
EB "Are you whispering because you don't want to rub it in his eyes?"
Me "The expression is face, I don't want to rub it in his face....good night!"

Grant mainly likes to label people as being "nice" or "not nice."  For instance if Brandon raises his voice at him, he says, "Daddy, not nice!"  If he wants a jelly bean because he and his sister are getting along well he will say "Nice? Nice?" Of course mostly we hear, "Elizabeth, not nice." Well maybe that's because she is calling him a big hot dog!
