at the playground

luca is pouting and sitting on the bench, told austin he doesnt want to play.

austin walks by where luca sits and says,

"think about what you want to do what will make you happy, and when you have an idea, just let me know"

with austin

luca: austin, i dont like it when you grab my face.

austin: i'm sorry luca. i wont do that today. i only do that when i need a nap.

luca: Austin - are you a good guy or a bad guy? i'm a good guy!

Austin: i'm a good guy too!

luca: we can be partners!

"Dayum!"

Luca has been constantly saying "Dayyyyum" around the house at all his toys with the EXACT inflection that Gioel uses when he says "damn!" in kind of a slang way to mean "wow!" Luca doesnt exactly know the word his is saying since it sort of ends in an "r", but i KNOW this is something he has copied from Daddy. watch your mouth!!!

Stationary Walking

Not sure exactly where Luca learned about "stationary walking" - something he does in the house from time to time. The other day in his swim lesson his instructor Scott asked him to hold the ladder and kick his feet above the surface to make splashes. Luca starts the activity then turn to Scott:

"You know what its called when you hold onto something like a ladder and kick? Its called 'stationary swimming!'"

Scott replied "Thats a big word." and laughed....

Brains

Gioel: "Luca, sit in your chair and eat your dinner." (Luca couldn't sit still and wasnt focusing)

Luca: "Dad, there's something wrong with your brain. You can't talk to me like that!"

This is why they call him "Zoom"

Luca rode his scooter home from dinner last night. His great-grandpa Zoom ("Grampy") chased after him. 87 years young, Zoom ran 5 blocks home after Luca and didnt even break a sweat!

Equilibrium

This car doesn't have good equality.

crop vs crap

my husband, the king of romance.

tonight gioel came into luca's room when i was lying in bed putting him to sleep, walked in a circle and left. i said "what are you doing?" and he said "crop dusting" (my mom is here in living room and i guess he needed some tactic to disperse his bumbers)

luca responded, "dad, it doesn't smell like crap in here"

another gender discussion

Luca: Mom, is it a girl baby in your belly?

Mom: No Luca, its a boy!

Luca: But I want it to be a girl!!!!

Mom: Well, maybe you should talk to your Daddy and tell him you want him to try again for a girl.

Luca: Its too late Mom. He cant change it now.

Seeds

Conversation #1 - a few weeks ago...

Luca: How did the baby get in your belly?

Mom: Daddy planted a seed in Mommy's belly and its growing into a baby.

Conversation #2 - tonight at dinner...

Luca: What kind of seed is the baby made from?

Mom: A people seed.

Luca: Did Daddy plant it in your belly?

Mom: Yup.

Luca: Did he put it down your throat?

Mom: Uhmm.....

Luca: Did you choke? What is the seed made from? Is it made from skin?

who gave mommy the baby?

Luca: Is it a girl baby in your belly?

Mom: No Luca, its a boy.

Luca: Why is it a boy?

Mom: That's just what g-d gave us.

Luca: No Mommy, it was Daddy who gave it to you.

"This onion is great! Its so organic!"

Apples

Luca": Mom, have you ever seen a purple apple?

Mom: No, I havent.

Luca: That would be one quite unusual apple.
