Stephen is crying and begging Mama to give him her Eskimo Pie, being unreasonably demanding.
Papa: Stephen, Mama already gave you some! Look how big she is and how small you are - she has to eat a bigger portion tha-
Stephen (glances over, holding up one finger): Chhhttt!!
(Continues trying to get Eskimo Pie from Mama)
Papa (laughing to hard to continue correcting Stephen)
Stephen's face was the perfect combination of sternness and playfulness at the same time...

Fireflies
Papa and Sarah are reading a book about fireflies.
Sarah: Look at the butterflies!
Papa: These are FIRE flies, not BUTTER flies. They do sound similar though. We saw fireflies at Grandma and Grandpa's house, you remember? Little lights in the air in the dark?
Sarah (thinks): Oh yeah! And then they go Boom! Boom!
Papa: Oh, those were fire WORKS, that is something else!

What's Up With The Antibiotics Doctor
Stephen got an infection in his pee-pee and the doctor prescribed him two antibiotics - one oral and one topical.
I'm not even a doctor and know that giving oral antibiotics to a kid under 2 years old TRIPLES his risk of developing asthma later in life. Besides other serious side effects. So why would a doctor even prescribe them?
The doctor, of course, did not even mention any risks to us, and neither did the pharmacist who filled the prescription.
It's a good thing that I had happened to remember reading something about this issue previously and Stephen was protected from possible lifelong complications of what I can only call medical malpractice.
By the way, we are using the topical application only and the problem is resolving nicely.

Sharing Drinks
Papa is drinking some juice that Sarah wants.
Sarah (to Papa): Mama says we shouldn't share drinks. SO CAN YOU JUST GIVE IT TO ME??

Tu-tuu
Stephen's new word: tu-tuuu (Thank You.)
He uses it all the time in the right contexts and it is so cute. You give him a drink and he says, Tu-tuu!
You hold the door open for him and he says, Tu-tuu!
You say, Stephen, can you tell the lady thank you? And he says, Tu-tuuu!
Sarah's word was gan-ku. I seem to remember that being Aunt Anne's pronunciation when she was little, too.
