Welcome to Mombai

Newt comes to get me.
"Mom, I can't find Buzzy's watch!"
"Oh, it's on the changing table next to the wet wipes."
He dashes away. I hear him get the watch and give it to Buzz.
"OK. Thank you for finding it. Here's your dollar," says Buzz.
Outsourced.

Newty sez

"Hey, Buzzy! I gotta baaad ideaaa!"

At least we know how he feels...

"I punshed the wipcreem outta that beetle!"
"I turned that ant into dirt!"

Newt does not love bugs.

Good to know

Newton arrives, wrapped up like a present. A present I must repeatedly open and I be surprised.
Take 7:
Me: "Oh, a present! For me! I wonder what it is? ... Oh! It's a Newt! Just what I wanted! I wonder what I should do with it?"
N: (stage whisper) "It likes lollipops!"

Kids these days!

I just picked up Buzzy from school.
He's rammy.
B: "I'm SO hungry, Mom!"
N: "I'm so hungry, I can eat a whole deer!"
B: "Ugh! That's hyperbole, Newt!"

Guess who...

Guess who was very impressed by the Spartans at the Greek Festival.

Upon seeing a McDonald's sausage and egg sandwich: "It's a egg hamburger!"

Buzzy was putting on an animal show, as he often does. He began presenting information about baboons.
B: "...and this is a baboon... a baboon is a very large monkey that has pouches in his cheeks to store food -- "
K: "Waitaminit, Buzzy... a baboon is a primate, but not all primates are monkeys... and they don't store food in their cheeks."
C: "Careful, Ken, I learned my lesson about correcting him..."

Peer Pressure

Micah's Mom: "OK, boys! I'm going to go get you guys some popcorn!" (leaves)
Micah (he's 2.5): "You can't have popcorn, Newty!"
Newt: "Yes I can 'cause I'm BIG!!"
Micah: "I'm big, too!"
Newt: "You're not big,  Micah! You're little! See? You wear a diaper." (Newt pulls Micah's waistband and points at his diaper)
(Micah's mom returns)
Micah: " Mom, I wanna go pee-pee in the potty!"
Micah's Mom: "What just happened?"

Newty's new daily activity

Newty asks to hold Geo every day and wants their picture taken.
