From Calvin:
“Ride the abigator!” Once he’s boarded the abigator he likes to press the buttons he can reach. Just the fun ones. With pictures of fireman’s hats!
“Hey! Guess what?” Not a question, just an all purpose greeting.
“We’re on da way!” Announcement while riding his toy car across the living room.
“Time out? Me, too! Me, too!” Like all younger siblings, Calvin is protective of resources: food, toys, love, even a “time out” is something your sister might try to hog all to herself just because she mouthed off before you developed a big enough vocabulary to do so yourself. Well, he’s not letting her get away with it. No-ho! He shoves her over on the time-out step to get his share of time out. Whatever that is.
And from Audrey, one for the ages:
“Mom, when you hear yourself think, what does it sound like?” She asked this as I pulled out of the driveway, when it was actually peaceful in the car for once. It’s reassuring to know that if you just repeat yourself enough, the blather will turn into a sort of Zen koan.

Awesome; I so completely identify with wanting equal amounts, no matter of what. Also, as a side note, our god-daughter is nicknamed Abigator, so we love this reference.
