One of the many things I'm trying to teach Tyler at this point in his life is the art of Patience. That's a tough one for a 3 1/2 year old. I realize this. Who am I kidding? It's a tough one sometimes for this 30 year old! But I digress...
I've actually started keeping a record of some of the more amazing, ridiculous, and/or clever things that come out of his mouth, often at the wierdest times. Kind of like my own version of "Kids Say the Darndest Things." This one definitely made the list.)
I was helping get the kids ready to leave the house for a few hours with Daddy. In an attempt to get Tyler into the bathroom to "take care of some business," I kept telling him things like "Come on Tyler, let's come in here." and "Let's go Tyler. Daddy's waiting for you." Tyler clearly heard me, but was totally ignoring me and playing with the space shuttle Santa had brought him for Christmas. After my third or fourth request, he finally stood up, walked toward where I was standing by the bathroom door, looked at me, and in total seriousness, said,
"I'm coming. Be patient."
WHAT??!!?? He caught me completely off guard with that one. I didn't even know how to respond to him at that point. The good news is that he at least knows the meaning of the word "patient." However, my next lesson clearly needs to be about "little boys with attitudes."

Okay, I haven't been on here in awhile obviously to comment on this stuff but that is HILARIOUS!! Where do they get this stuff. Ben's latest 'saying' is ... sounds like fun. As in... Aunt Katie will sit next to me in the car. Sounds like fun. Not quite the right context but very funny.
