Declan declares ...

I was upstairs playing on my phone.  Declan comes and find me and says, "Moooooooom.  You. Took. My. Phone."  ~ March 14, 2011

Declan asked for a sip of my Coke, so I handed it to him.  As he's drinking MY Coke, he pushes his juice box over to me, letting me know that we've just traded drinks.  When he sets the Coke down, I snatch it up and start drinking, and he tells me, "Mom, that mine."  ~ January 28, 2011

After I took his shirt and pants off ... "Look.  I naked boy."  ~ November 29, 2010

"No!!!!  Not water.  Water."  (i.e. Not water from my water bottle, but water from the sink.) ~ November 29, 2010

"Whoa! That huge cool." ~ November 29, 2010

After crawling under the piano and being afraid that he'd bump his head on the way out, he cried, "Help. I stuck here."  ~ October 21, 2010

Declan's Prayer ~ October 18, 2010 
     Mom: "Dear Heavenly Father."  Declan: "No."
     M: "Thank thee for family."  D: "No."
     M: "Thank thee for Dad." D: "No." ... 
     M: "Bless David on his mission."  D: "No." ...
     M: "In the name of Jesus Christ." D: "No."
     M: "Amen." D: "No."
     Yep.  He's definitely 2 years old!!!

When Declan wants me to sit by him, he pats the space next to him and says, "By you," or "Sit in wap."  ~ August 2010

Sometimes we sing, "Shake, shake, shake.  Shake, shake, shake.  Shake your booty."  Declan's version as he sits and shakes his booty, "Shake your booby."  ~ August 2010
