Memory Lane Funnies

I've been doing some organizing and came across a pad of paper where I'd recorded some of the funny things Sheridan said and did in the Spring and Summer of 2000. He was between 2 1/2 and 3 at the time. I decided to go ahead and type them up and get them on my hard drive. Then, I thought I'd share them with you. I really love how grown up Sheridan has become, but it just melts my heart to see (and "hear") him at this tender age.

4-29 Sheridan (2 1/2) said family prayer and thanked Heavenly Father for all of his trains by name, THEN thanked Him for Mom, Dad and Marcus.

5-3 Alden (4 ½): “My Expedition is a Ford.”
Sheridan: “My Expedition is a 5.”

At this age, Sheridan started saying “Yeah, sure!” for “yes.”

6-25 I found Sheridan using wooden puzzle pieces to pound at the walls. He explained that he was trying to dig for dinosaur bones.

6-25 We were doing the State puzzle when he picked up Nebraska.
Me: “Who lives there?”
Sh: “Grampa Harding. It's called Tim-buk-too.”

6-26 Overheard: “Sheridan Guy to the rescue!”

6-29 Trying to get Sheridan to bed, we asked him, “Do you know what time it is?” He looked at his wrist and said “65 million years ago.”

7-1 We celebrated my birthday late. Guy pulled out gift bags to wrap presents and Sheridan confiscated one, put a photograph he found on my desk into it. Guy and I hadn't realized what he'd done and started to clean up what appeared to be an empty bag, but Sheridan took it, opened it up and said, “Oh, look! It's a picture!” His first gift to me.
