In honor of Rob's birthday I thought I'd share some of his famous quotes over his 8 years with you all!
"Mom, you can't lose your sweet tooth, can you?"
Upon looking at his toddler bed that Johnny was using, "This bed brings back so many good memories!"
When asked why he doesn't eat the crusts on his sandwiches, "Everytime I start to eat the crusts, I start to not feel better."
"It's fun to be a dog, but it's funner to be a boy."
"Is there a measurer in Heaven to see if you're tall enough to ride the rides?' he asked this when he was around 4 and he was very concerned.
When he was four he would see Phoebe do homework, "I am sure glad boys don't have to do homework."
"Jesus can run faster than a cheetah!"
While eating french toast he pointed to the powdered sugar on top and asked, "Mom, is this the french?"
"The devil likes alligators because they're mean."
"It is my dream to live at IHOP (the restaurant) and it is my dream to live at Disney World, so I really don't know which one to choose."
One morning I could not find any pants that fit Rob. He is growing and all his pants are too tight. Finally I just told him that he is going to have to wear the ones he had on...they were the biggest we had, but they had a hole in each knee of the jeans!
Rob said, "I cannot wear these jeans to school! These will bother me all day long and when we sit down criss cross apple sauce my knees will poke out of these jeans and bother me and I will disturb other people around me and then I will break the code of conduct that says you cannot disturb other people!"
While in the GAP dressing room:
He takes off his pants to try on jeans...
"are you allowed to do this in here?" while he squinches his face to
one side
"Yes Rob" I replied.
"Are you allowed to do ANYTHING YOU WANT in here?" He asks with
excitement and wonder
Like what, I said
"Are you allowed to take off your underwear in here?!!!!"
"Houses have to be messy so kids can play and eat and have fun!" when asked why they make such big messes.
"Phoebe's not in charge of everything or the whole wide world! Jesus is!"
"Mom come play with me,
me- Rob, I have to clean and cook supper!
Rob- "that's boring. I don't think I'm gonna do that when I get older."
"I'm starting to not believe in dreams anymore!!!" believe it or not, he said this around age 5 when the Maya and Miguel DVD wouldn't work!!! LOL
"Daddy, when you get old if you don't have any energy, I'll be there to make you a sandwich." <3
After wanting and waiting months for a remote controlled dalmation from the Disney store only to get it home and find out it didn't work, he shuffled down the hall and mumbled to himself, "I waited all this time for nothin!"
After waking up one morning and noticing his markers were left out all night without the lids on: "Johnny is never ever again allowed to use my markers again. Not even when God comes to pick us up!!! He can never never again use them here on earth. But...... he can use them in Heaven cause I know nobody leaves marker tops off in Heaven....right Mommy?"
and yes, he did ask me if Holy Ghosts were good or bad when he was younger! Precious!
I love that boy so much. Daniel has always called him golden and All-American since he was born and he truly is. When he was a baby just minutes old he scooted all the way up my chest and nestled his face into my neck. I was amazed and wondered if he could repeat the motion so I pulled him down and he did it again and again and again!
Plus, he came almost 4 weeks early and was fully developed. He was ready to see us! He is precious. So obedient and loyal and looks out for others. I thank God for my Robert! He even got his namesakes broad shoulders. My dad would be proud!
