more owen's world

it's time, i think, for some owen phrases. from today, here are a few of my favorites.

"goose. caboose. it rhymes!" actually this is the phrase of the week. and yes, he discovered this on his own--daddy pointed out that the words he was singing rhymed and it delighted him so much it's now his catch phrase. he's also discovered toes and nose and squirmy worm. but goose caboose is his favorite.

"legos? legoooos!" first words spoken after a very long nap. said with tears.

"it's raining." observation looking out of the open window. "no raining!" more tears.

"owen walking people car." said with smile pulling his norwegian wooden car that has for 'seats' for 'people'--little wooden pegs. actually, the "bus people" (his dutch schoolbus that has similar "people") were taking a ride in the car. bus people are red, blue, yellow and green. car people are slightly larger with no colors. very important to know these things. he keeps track of all people at all times. "mommy, where green people?" is a refrain. followed shortly after by a mumbling: "keep looking. . ." and then a shriek: "owen find it!"

"mommy, owen love dump truck." yes, enough said.

"mommy help you simmer down." i'll just leave that one without context.

"owen needs pajamaaaaas!" said while streaking out of the bathroom and then diving onto the bed with shrieks and giggles. word "pajamaaas" repeated with increasing cookie-monster like intensity.
