Austin's Ad-libs

After Dallas had MCL surgery, Austin developed sympathetic knee pains.  He was very certain that his knee had a boo boo.

During breakfast, Austin was sitting on the counter eating cereal.

M:  Austin, do you want me to put a towel on your lap so the cold milk doesn't get all over you.

A:  No.  I need the cold milk on my knee to help my boo boo feel better.

Austin's Ad-libs

A:  I'm going to grow bigger and longer so I'll be able to reach tall things because I'll be longer (stretching arms and legs in front of him as if they were stretching before our eyes).  And I'll be able to reach and taller and stuff and TREES.  And I'll be bigger to reach tall things.

M:  But what if you get so big and tall that you don't fit in my lap?  How will I read you stories?

A:  (Thinking....)  (Puts his hand on top of his head and presses down)  Then you'll have to smoosh me and smoosh me until I'm little again.  (He jumps in my lap and presses my hands down on his head.)  Smoosh me, Mommy.

M:  Now you are a perfect fit.  Let's read your book.

Austin was trying to wear Mommie's shoes, which were too big.

A:  Can you get me longer socks that fit these shoes?
