Toddler Talk!

Every time Carter and I go for a car ride I always think to myself that I wish I was taping our conversation. Today on the way home from gramma and papa's I decided to write it all down as soon as I got home. Here it goes...

Carter is in bold.

I don't want to go home
We have to go home and have dinner. We are having hot dogs.
What you said?
Hot dogs
I say hoT doG. It's hard to say with gum in your mouth. (I was chewing gum.)
Yes, it is!
I don't want to go home.
Why not?
I want to live at gramma's
Wouldn't you miss us? (no response)
What did you do at gramma's?
We blow bubbles. That one didn't work. Maybe the yellow one will work. I don't want to go home. Hey, what's that guy doing?
He's running.
He's jogging!
Maybe he's chasing those kids on their bikes.
Maybe!
I don't want to go home. Who lives in there?
I don't know. Who do you think would live in there?
Maybeee raccoons! They could sleep on the branches.
I don't want to go home.
Hey, there's an extra Tim Hortons (we took a different way home so it was a Timmies he hadn't seen before).
What's that?
I'm not sure. What are you looking at?
It's a red dump truck! That guy's taking a break. (there was a guy standing beside the truck).
I think you are right!
What's he eating?
Who?
Lincoln, he's chewing. Maybe it's spit up. We clean it up when we get home!
Is Lincoln awake?
Nope.
We go up the hill and then down the hill.
I don't want to go home.
1, 2, 3
What are you counting?
My fingers. 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. I have 7 fingers!
What is this one?
Which one? Hold it up so I can see.
This one!
Oh, that's your pinky finger!
My finger nails are pink. I have orange hands.
I don't want to go home.
Lincoln's awake. Sometimes he opens his eyes and then he closes his eyes.
Yes he does!
Why we go this way?
Because it's quicker!
Why we go this way?
Because it's quicker then the other way.
Why?
Because everyone is coming home from work now.
Hey, there is two blue signs on that house. Why?
I'm not sure.
Maybe because they are going to dig!
Maybe!
Why we go this way?
Because its quicker!
I don't want to go home. 
Where's Connor Evan?
They are inside with their Gramma!
Their gramma's name is Eleanor. My gramma's name is (very slowly) gramma. 
Gramma, papa
Is Eleanor going to come out?
At some point she will.
I want a cookie (papa gave him two to bring home - one broken in half and one full one.)
Not until after dinner.
I WANT IT NOW!
Carter
Pleeeeese
How about we compromise. You can have half of the broken one now and the rest after dinner.
I want the other one! (points to the full one)
