The Quotable Three Year Old

His first words of the day, upon my entry into his room at 7 AM this morning:
"Can I help you, sir?"

After pushing a box of stuffed animals around the kitchen for 20 minutes:
"Well, I need to go and drink my coffee."

After walking to the car without needing to be held:
"I AM practically a grown-up."

Trying to get my attention so that we could go down to the basement and practice together:
"Hey Roy, are you done yet? Roy?"

At the dinner table, deferring the portion of stew he was trying to get out of eating:
"So Mommy...how was YOUR day?"

At the dinner table, still putting off the stew:
"I think I need a drink. But in a big boy cup, not a sippy cup."

Later, the same:
"Oops. I dribbled."

Perched over Owen in the bathtub, emptying a cup of water directly onto his face:
"I will help rinse Owen."

Visiting his great-grandparents:
"Hey, I pooped in the potty. Wanna come look at it?"

Returning home from his great-grandparent's house, having fallen asleep for about three minutes after our unsuccessful attempts to keep him awake for the last mile and a half of the 40 minute trip, upon being informed that it was time for him to take a nap:
"But I slept all the way back to Grandma's house!"

Upon knocking over a toilet paper tower:
"That was a great big crash for Grandma. Grandma loves crashes, and I love crashes too!"
