Conversations with Gus

  Mommy: "Are you all done?"
Gus: "No, not yet."
  Mommy: "How about now?"
Gus: "No, silly!"
  Mommy: "How about now?"
Gus: Giggles
  Mommy: "How about NOW?"
Gus: Sternly "Mommy, that's too much."


Gus: Bored and restless, doesn't want to wait in line. "Can we go now?"
"Is it our turn yet?"
  Mommy: "Would you like to turn around and meet the girls behind you?"
Gus: "GIRLS?!"


Mommy and Mama pick up Aunt Gaga from work to come with us
Gus: "I love Aunt Gaga! Is she coming with us?"
  Mommy: "Yes"
Aunt Gaga gets in van.
Gus: "Hi Aunt Gaga!"
  Aunt Gaga: "Hi Gus"
Gus: "Aunt Gaga?"
  Aunt Gaga: "Yes, Gus?"
Gus: "How is your work?"
  Aunt Gaga: "It was pretty good today, thank you, Gus."
Gus: "Oh good!"


Mommy lays Gus down to sleep.
Gus: "Mommy, where's my music?"
  Mommy: "Oh, I forgot to turn it on."
Gus: "You can turn it on on your computer."
  Mommy: "I was going to use your iPad."
Gus: "Where is my iPad?"
  Mommy: "Up on the dresser." Mommy goes to get the iPad and opens it up to find his nighttime                      playlist. Usually, Mommy asks Gus at this point which song on his playlist he'd like to start                 with but...
Gus: "Mommy, you can pick tonight."
  Mommy: Selects Gus's most oft chosen first song and it starts to play
Gus: "Frozen! Good choice, Mommy! You're a good girl!"



Mommy and Mama: Never taking a word their boy speaks, and speaks so clearly and eloquently at that, for granted! "Thank you God for our funny, precious, funny, thoughtful, talkative boy!"
