Funny Things Trey Says

I want to remember all the funny things that Trey says as a little boy, because I'm sure there will be a lot!

September, 2015
"Poo-poo funny!"

October, 2015
"Bug guts."

1/22/16
Having a discussion about who is a boy and who is a girl.
Bobby:  And what is Gia?
Trey:  Gia's a girl
Bobby:  What are you?
Trey:  A boy.
Bobby:  What is Daddy?
Trey:  Daddy's a boy.
Bobby: What's Mama?
Trey: Mama's a big boy.

5/3/16
We did the marshmallow test with Trey.  In a word, "hilarious."

5/4/16
Trey was in the living room reading his "sing along elmo" book, and he was singing "Big Bird has a little butt" to the tune of "Mary Had a Little Lamb."  Then Gia started laughing and they both began to sing that song as they danced around the living room laughing.

5/18/16
We were going to Great Harvest to get breakfast, and Trey asked Bobby, "We going to the combine harvester place?"

November 17, 2016
Trey: "Nana, I want you to read me stories."
Nana:  "Okay, do you know which one you like?"
Trey: "Yeah.  I know everything."

Trey and I are playing a game with cars and taking turns saying, "I win" as we push our cars.  Bobby says, "I win."  Trey says, "No Daddy.  He (the car) takes the gold from you.  He put it around his neck."

Monday, December 19, 2016
Me:  Trey, you're funny.
Trey:  Nuh-uh.
Me:  You make me laugh.
Trey:  No, I make you serious.

After Trey went to the bathroom and I got him new underwear because he had peed a little bit in it:
Me:  Trey, go put your pants on.
Trey:  They have pee-pee in them
Me:  I don't think so, your underwear wasn't very wet.
Trey:  Let me go smell them [my pants].

5-4-2017
Trey:  Daddy, let's make a bet.  If I win, we watch Monster Trucks.  If you win, we watch kid shows."

Trey, while sitting in Bobby's lap:
Trey:  "Daddy, did you feel that?  I farted on you."
Bobby: "No buddy, I didn't feel it."
Trey:  "They were little farts."

Earlier, I had told Trey not to pick his nose because it was making it bleed.
When Nana and Papa were putting Gia and Trey to bed, Papa saw Trey with his finger up his nose.
Papa:  "Trey, didn't Mama say not to pick your nose?"
Trey:  "I'm pushing them back up."

Joey's birth story

So, I was hoping that I would go into labor on my own this time around because I do labor naturally and it's much worse when you're being induced.  I had made an appointment for an inducement on the Thursday after my due date, but honestly didn't think I was going to need it because I was having so many braxton hicks.  On Wednesday, I was over 40 weeks, so we went to see our doctor for an extra appointment.  He measured the baby at 7lbs 11oz, and said that if it were him, he would go ahead and induce the next day.  He has always told us that nothing good comes after 41 weeks, and the hospital didn't have any other dates available until I was 41 weeks.  I wanted to wait, but Bobby was convinced that we didn't need to wait any longer, so I conceded and kept the inducement appointment.
All day Wednesday after the appointment I was in a bad mood.  I felt like I had no choice in the induction and wasn't being given the chance to do labor naturally.  Mostly, I knew the pain I was in for and didn't want to face it.  But we packed up and went to the hospital the next morning at 9am.  At first, there had been a miscommunication and they had cancelled our appointment for that day, but they were slow on the floor and said they could get me in at 10:30 (or that I could keep the appointment that had now been made for Sunday morning).  We decided to go ahead with it since we had everything worked out for baby sitters for the kids and such.  We went home for a little bit, and I was able to fix my hair and re-prepare myself for the induction.
When we went back to the hospital, I was more confident.  It was a new hospital to me since my other two were born at another hospital.  The nurses at the front desk were very nice, and one asked me why I was so scared.  She wondered if this was my first pregnancy.  I told her no, it was my third, but I knew what an un-medicated induction felt like and wasn't looking forward to it.  I could then see the surprise on all the nurses faces when they realized I wouldn't be getting an epidural.  The nurse asked why I wasn't getting one, and I said that I don't like the idea of needles in my back... I would rather deal with the pain of labor.  The truth is, there are many reasons I don't get epidurals, but I didn't want to go into all of that.
My nurse took me back to my room and gave me my hospital gown.  They let Bobby be with me the whole time, which was different from Trey's induction at the other hospital.  The IV was the least painful I've ever had. The nurse numbed my wrist and then got it in on the first try.
