Porter Quotes:

"uh, yeah, sure."-if we ask him if he wants such and such for dinner or something.

"Oh, my Cow!"-he came up with this when we taught him not to say the Lord's name in vain.

"Dad, your face is too sharp"-when dad hasn't shaved in a couple of days and then tries to give kissies to P diddy.

"What the..."-he says this with Talmage.

"Mom, I'm gonna be a dad when I grow up, huh?" He talks a lot about his future--marrying a princess, delivering pizza, and becoming a dad.

"Mom, you look like a princess."-On Sundays when I'm in a dress.

"Come wipe me!"-Even if you're standing right next to him.

"Hey Ana"-another one of Porter's nick names for Andrew

A Day in the Life of Porter:

What a Good Big Brother! Every morning he comes in and we all end up snuggling for another hour. Porter sings Pat-a-cake to Andrew. Somehow Porter always gets Andrew to laugh hysterically.

Porter Stories:

On Dec. 9th Heidi and I took Chalyse out for din din at the Gateway. When Porter saw that I was leaving and taking Andrew, he was concerned that Andrew would be scared and lonely. He told me "make sure he doesn't get scared, mom." I assured him that I would take good care of him. He said he would miss us and still seemed reluctant that I was going out for the night.

Unfortunately the roles will eventually be reversed. :(

On Dec. 15th before Porter was rushing out the door for school. Andrew was "talking" on the floor next to him. Porter is throwing his coat and shoes on and saying "aww, Andra, you're gonna miss me while I'm a preschool? I'll miss you too, brotha!"
