Funny things Rocco says...

Rocco is full of funny sound effects and comments. He is constantly making us laugh.

One of the common Rocco discussions in our house lately is "What do bad guys do?" And, "What do Batman and Robyn and Superman do?" I think we get these questions fielded to us at least once a day.

Gabby also knows exactly how to push Rocco's buttons. All she has to say is that something of his is pink, or that he likes pink, etc. This has created a complete pink-complex... and Rocco now must always only use blue spoons, blue bowls and blue plates. Try giving him pink, orange, green or purple... and you'll be lucky if you're only reprimanded with a scolding of "I DON'T like PINK! I'm NOT a girl... I'm a BOY!"

A few weeks ago, Gabby just commented to Rocco that his lips were pink. Rocco, of course, didn't want to hear his lips were pink and said "My lips are NOT pink". Gabby: "Yes, they are.... even my lips are pink. Everyone has pink lips. Your lips are pink too." Rocco: "GABBY... MY LIPS ARE NOT PINK!!!!" This went on for at least a good ten minutes. I couldn't get either of them to stop... they had to keep getting in the last word. Jeeeeesh!! I'm not ready for them to be teenagers yet!

Rocco really loves playing with his Nerf guns and swords. He's constantly wanting to have sword fights with whoever is in the room. He happily brings you a sword... and you'd best be ready to sword fight or a major 3 year old temper-tantrum ensues. After Rocco's third day of school, Dan went to pick him up. As they were walking out of the school, Rocco said "Daddy... can I get a REAL gun and a REAL sword?" Dan of course laughed (I'm sure he was probably proud in that manly sort of way too), and told Rocco that maybe when he grows up he could get a REAL gun and a REAL sword. But, they'd have to do some training together first. Let's hope we never approach this day and that this is just a phase! :)
