Soren Speaks

SOREN:  Turtles! More turtles!  Dinoco's all mine!  Boo hoo! I think so tough.  Dinoco's all mine!  How does the cat say meow, meow? Meow! Meow!  What does the dog say? Ruff! Ruff!  What does the rabbit say? Eh! What's up doc?  Dinoco's all mine!  You drawing pictures.  Hey, Breeze! Are you sleeping? This is a blanket.  Hey, Mommy! Are you drawing?

ME: Yes.

SOREN: Are you drawing an eighteen wheeler?

ME: No.

SOREN:  Hey! Hey! Mommy! I can draw an eighteen wheeler! Mommy, are you drawing words?

ME: Yes.

SOREN: Boo hoo! I think so tough.  Carl is sad.  I can open door. I want to play outside.  I sing the ABC song.

When I'd forgotten it at the end of the evening, it had been far from my son's greedy grasp.

Still, he's that much closer to calling me his "mama" and I can't say the approximations don't warm my heart.
