Conversations and crushes

I get the privilege to pick up Anthony everyday from school and I really do look forward to it. He is always so happy to see me and runs around telling everyone that his mama is here. The nice things now is that we also get to hold conversations in the car about his day. I figured I would post the last conversation we had and then one that I heard him have with his friends.

First one is one that took place at school between Anthony and his friends. I walked in and he was being changed. When he was done his teacher asked him if he wanted his snack before he left and of course he yelled out "YEA!" and then took off to his room to wait for it. I followed and saw his class of 6 other kiddos sitting nicely at their table. That's right 6 little 2 year olds all in their shares quietly waiting for their teacher. How do daycare teachers do this with 6 kids when I can't do it with 1? Anyways, Anthony sits at the head of the table and I stand to the side and wait for his teacher to bring the snacks. As I wait there they start talking:

Paxon: Anthony is that your mama?
Anthony: Yea that is my mama
CJ: No that is not Anthonys mama.
Audrey: YES ! it is Anthonys mama.
Anthony: Yea it's my mama, right there
Audrey: I told you that was Anthonys mama
Paxon: Oh ok, so that is your mama
Anthony: Yup, my mama

Not much to it but it was so cute to see them all at a table talking amongst themselves in their own little 2 year old lingo.

Everyday after I get Anthony strapped into his carseat and start heading home, I lower the wiggles and ask him how his day went. Yesterdays conversation:

Me: How was school today bubster?
Anthony: umm it was good
ME: what did you do today?
Anthony: ummm I plaaayed with my bloooooocks, I plaaayed with ms. jackie, I plaayed with my friieennnds.
Me: Oh yea, what friends?
Anthony: umm CJ, Raven
ME: What about Paxon?
Anthony: umm no he's not here today
Me: Oh no, how come?
Anthony: ummm Sick!
ME: oh, that's not good
Anthony: no, no good, Paxon sick, no good
ME: is Paxon your favorite friend at school?
Anthony: no, Raven my favorite friend
ME: Raven?
Anthony: YEA RAVEN!

I love that he remembers what he did and that even one of his friends wasn't there. Each day he has a different thing to tell me about, today it was that he played with bubbles and I am sure tomorrow it will be something just as fun.

Today, when I picked him up we were heading out and he yelled out "Wait!, I have to do something" He then ran back and went to the newest little girl in his class gave her a hug and then planted a big kiss on her cheek. His teacher said that he has been playing with her nonstop and hugging her all day. So, it looks like Anthony has his first crush. Or maybe it's his second since the day before he had said his favorite friend was Raven and this little girl was not Raven! But he has good taste, both girls are quite adorable!

The ride home talks are the best. I am about to blog about one myself. Although it is not quite as cute. Hope to see you guys soon.
