This post will be updated throughout the year with the most recent “too good not to share” quotes that come out of my kid’s mouth. Enjoy.

Upon dropping him off at preschool: “Mommy, you always leave me.”

Today while following my husband to my in-laws’ new house…
Me: I have no idea where we are.
Nolan: I know where we are. We are behind Daddy and Grandpa’s truck.
Me: Haha, you’re right.
Nolan: I know. I’m always right.

*face palm*

Even he knows he’s a lost cause.

3/8/15
Nolan: We need to get a new car.

Nolan: It’s not orange.
3/6/16
Nolan has several friends who now have younger siblings. The other night he said he wanted one (note: this is NOT an announcement of any kind so nobody ask when he’s getting one). The following exchange had me in stitches…
Ryan: If you have a brother or sister, that means mommy and daddy won’t be able to pay as much attention to you. You’ll have to share us.
Nolan: Nawwww, you’re just kiddin’ Daddy…..(Reassuring himself) Yeah, you’re just kiddin’.
2/7/15
Me: You’re a character.
Nolan: What character? I’m not from Peter Pan or Finding Nemo.
1/25/15
Nolan has been on a Peter Pan kick lately. He was singing the song “Following the Leader”…only his version was “We’re following burritos, burritos, burritos.” Ryan said, “Now that’s something I can get behind!"

Nolan-isms in 2015 are starting off strong:
"When I am big I’m going to drink lots of coffee!”
“Let me tell you a story. There was a cow and pig and then crash! A train! But they are ok.”
“This is also my jam!” (Referring to a song on the radio)
