Quinn's cute sayings:

"I can't like it!"

"I can't want it!"

"No tickle my Mommy!  Timeout, Daddy!"

"Want my nipple!"  Yes, this needs explanation - scratching at his nipple is a comfort habit Quinn picked up after having Eczema on it.  At one time we were covering it with sticky-all-around band-aids to keep his hands off it - he doesn't appear to be doing any damage now, but he still has the habit.  In fact, on a recent trip, a woman in a service station exclaimed "Oh! He's scratching his nipple!  I have to tell my husband - I thought my daughter was the only child in the world who did that!"  Her daughter, now five, has mostly stopped - so I guess it won't go on forever!

"Want DVD, Daddy!" (Eh, 21st century kid all right)

"Squiiiiiiish!" (accompanied by squeezing of parent, often as part of a hug)

"Boing, Mommy!  Boing, Daddy!" - meaning jump with him on the trampoline.

"Happened, Mommy?"  (Quinn's version of 'what happened')

"One, set, go!"

"I do I by self!"  (I'll do it by myself!)
