Kid-isms

Gone are the days of my "Eleanor-isms" posts - there are two talkers in this house now!  I feel bad because I haven't really kept track of funny things that Eleanor has said lately because she says so much every day.  Anyway, here are a few things I actually remembered to write down.

Eleanor:  I am a very fast runner!  I am faster than a roadrunner!  Or an ostrich!

Arthur at dinner the other night:  (pointing out the window)  Green tree, Mama
Me:  Yes Arthur, that's a green tree.
Hunter:  I wish there were blue trees.
Arthur:  YESSS, Dada!  Pink trees too?

Arthur counting to 10 while playing hide and seek:
Two, fwee, four, fwive, seex, sweven, eight, nine, twin, evan, fohteen, fohteen, fohteen, fohteen, fohteen...

Me:  Arthur, what kind of birthday cake do you want?  A train cake?  A turtle cake?  (We had already established that he wanted  a big cake, not cupcakes.)
Arthur: (making a circle motion) Circle cake
Me:  Yes, it can be in the shape of a circle.  But what do you want on top?  Trains?
Arthur:  No.  (makes circle motion)  Circle cake!
Hunter:  You will have a circle cake.  But do you want anything on top of it?  Maybe turtles?  Or fish?
Arthur:  No!  Circle cake!  (thinks a little)  Candles.  Two candles.
Me:  Okay, you can have a plain circle cake with candles.  What color cake do you want?  A blue cake?  A green cake?
Arthur:  CIRCLE cake!!
(a few minutes later...)
Arthur:  Yellow circle cake?

A yellow circle cake it is!  This was last night at dinner, and this morning when he woke up he said, "Hap bee dee to Arfur.  Two.  Circle cake.  Yellow circle cake!"  Can you tell what was on his mind?  :)
