a little bit of gunnar-isms

Got him new PJs and while in the van, asked what was on them. I said, "Stripes and balls." (They were sporty, and I thought he wouldn't "approve.") And Gun replied with, "Um, no thanks." But now he wears them ... ;) 

While riding in the van he says, "When I grow up, I'm not gonna be in your family."
Me: "You aren't?!"
Gunnar: "Nope. I'm gonna have my OWN family."
After a few seconds of thinking ...
"But...I'll come visit you, on my MOTORCYCLE."
(This was just after a conversation with him about how dangerous motorcycles are, which ended with him saying he'd give Halo a ride on his motorcycle that he was getting when he grew up.)

He says "Bam! Gotcha dude!" to all sorts of funny things. And to his sisters, "Bam! Gotcha lady!" (Though sometimes he slips and calls them dude too.)

He came in from playing outside and says to Ezzie, "I'm gonna sing you a song!"

God is always with you!
He's never with anyone else!
God won't go anywhere!
God will never leave you.

Talking to Baby, You have two ears, two eyes, one nosey, one head, one mouth, two arms, 5 and 5 is 10 fingers, two legs, 5 and 5 is 10 toes, and one butt. 

He is a crazy "kisser." He loves to give kisses - I used to be the main recipient, but since Baby was born, Gun smothers Finney with kisses. And he always has to give back ones to his sisters, if they sneak one on him.

Everything is about war and guns and camo with Gun (and Ezzie) right now. The first thing he analyzes, even when getting new clothes/shoes, is "are they army"? His new rainboots/snowboots: They use these in the ARMY!
