"Pea" is for Polka Dot

Today we were at Gigi and Papa's hanging out with Auntie JoJo and Cousin Estella. They were both napping so Carter and I were having craft time. We were using a sheet of stickers that was all different stars with different colors and patterns.

Carter wanted to give me my "favorite"... I said, "Well, polka dots are my favorite pattern"
C: "What's polka dots?"
M: "Well, they're a bunch of circles"
C: "Oh, okay, here you go, Mommy, your favorite: Polka dots!" (as he placed a polka dotted star on my hand)

On the way home, Carter sparks up a conversation:

C: "Mommy has her favorite star on her hand that Carter gave her still!"
M: "Yes I do. I love it, thank you!" "Do you remember what pattern is in the star"
C: "Hmmn, it's a lot of circles, Mommy.... ahhhhhhhh"
M: "Remember, it's called polka dots!"
C: "Oh yeah, and Carter had polka dots in his soup tonight"
M: "You did?"
C: "Yeah, green polka dots, a bunch of little circles in my soup!"

I had made chicken soup with peas in it yesterday and we ate it for leftovers tonight! Ha, clever kid!

Addendum

Add this to cute sayings below:

Today we're on our run, and since I had to wake Carter up to join Everett and I, he was still in his jammies. I neglected to put a sweatshirt on him because of my rush to get my run in during "the window" that Everett would not fall asleep in the stroller and ruin a day's schedule...

I asked Carter, "Baby, are you cold?"
Carter responded, "We'll be nice and warm when we get to the school to watch the excavator and the steam roller".

Ha! On our run, we pass by a high school where they have been doing work. If time permits, I stop for a few minutes to let them watch the action. I thought it was a crack up how he used the phrase "nice and warm".
