Camp Patton: Bash Chats

28 April 2015

shades: Gap

Many mornings when he first sees me + the growing bump ...
Bash: gooooood morning, Baby! It's a beautiful day to come out and play with me!!

Looking for Simon ...
Bash: Where'd Daddy go?
Grace: to play basketball with his friends at church
Bash: (laugh) get out of town!!
Grace: okay
Bash: you mean he went to drink beer with his friends?

Singing softly while walking around the house ...
Bash: this little poop of mine ... I'm gonna let it shine

While getting him dressed to go to Lowe's with Simon ...
Grace: how about these jeans?
Bash: hmmm no, too fancy.

(in the middle of our "shoot" a fleet of trucks rolled by so he just took a seat and enjoyed the view for a few ...)

Simon explaining something ...
Simon: ... that's what I would do when I was a little kid
Bash: you mean when you were a grown-down?

Picking out a show to watch with Theo and lobbying for his choice:
Theo: George!! (as in Curious)
Bash: No, Theo ... too addicting.

One evening when Simon had to stay late at work ...
Bash: when's Daddy coming home?
Grace: I don't know, as soon as he's done with his c-section probably
Bash: but we have scissors here!
Grace:
Bash: he can just bring the mommy here and cut the baby out on our couch!!

He's adorable...and wise.

Thanks for the laugh! Your kids are a riot!
MLarkinApril 28, 2015 at 5:01 PM
These always make me laugh!

My 3 year old likes to sing "Mary had a little poop".
JennApril 28, 2015 at 5:06 PM
He might be replacing Julia 😬😉😊

hahahahah I love Bash! Was just thinking it's been too long since we heard from him (and J, and Simon).

I think "growndown" might be the best phraseology for adulthood I've ever heart. Totally describes how I feel about my 30s.

The picture of his little smirk after the last comment had me rolling! He's hilarious.
JackieApril 28, 2015 at 5:28 PM
He is adorable!!!
AllisonApril 28, 2015 at 5:42 PM
You've got to post a video clip! I want to hear his cute little voice. He seems to have Simon's sense of humor :)

You have the funniest kids! Those apples clearly didn't fall far from the maternal tree! These posts always make my day. :)
MoeApril 28, 2015 at 6:25 PM
Your kids are hilarious! I love the c-section one!
KariApril 28, 2015 at 6:27 PM
I think he looks just like you! I saw some other people said your husband, but I see you in him.

Thank goodness Simon didn't take his advice on the C-section at your house! ;)

My sisters and I made up a song when we were little called "Tinkle, Tinkle, little star..." - I feel this would be a good companion for Bash's poop song.
UnknownApril 28, 2015 at 6:40 PM
He is so handsome!!
KelseyBApril 28, 2015 at 7:09 PM
I expect nothing less than every single one of your children being hilarious!! This was so funny. And could he be any cuter??? Oh my goodness!!
Brittany@TheLadyLawyerApril 28, 2015 at 7:40 PM
What a stylish little looker!
Nell @ Whole Parenting FamilyApril 28, 2015 at 7:53 PM
Cut the baby out?!?!?? Oh basher!!
Laura - LaughterIsCatching.comApril 28, 2015 at 8:01 PM
he has soooo many gems! Love the welcoming of the baby :)
mariannaApril 28, 2015 at 8:53 PM
How do you keep track of these--really? My 2.5 year old is starting to say some totally hilarious things but by the end of the day I've forgotten most of them!
FranziskaApril 28, 2015 at 9:04 PM
that face with that last quote. #dead
KimberApril 28, 2015 at 10:23 PM
These little chats with your kids are my FAVORITE!!!! Always makes me laugh. How in the heck do you remember them to write them down for a post?
Audrey @ Putting Me TogetherApril 28, 2015 at 10:59 PM
BEST. And, modeling. A&F. I'm telling ya.
Emily ElizabethApril 28, 2015 at 11:12 PM
Hilarious!! I have a new favorite (sorry Julie!) I hope you do many more of these! :) Besides I agree with him about Curious George-way too addicting.
UnknownApril 28, 2015 at 11:16 PM
haha I love Bash chats! Thank you for remembering all those little moments and sharing them with us. Makes my day.

Bash looks like Simon and Theo looks like your dad.
UnknownApril 29, 2015 at 8:27 AM
Definitely looks like Simon here! This post made me chuckle :) the things kids say! Glad you're writing it all down!
Meredith {Martha Chartreuse}April 29, 2015 at 10:37 AM
He is so bright! And to think, you used to be nervous about him never speaking. Now he knows about beers, has humor, and the basic principles of obstetrics!
PattyApril 29, 2015 at 10:58 AM
Maybe Sebastian is showing doctor tendencies with all his knowledge of c-sections? ;-)

This little poop of mine? #almostdied :)
UnknownApril 29, 2015 at 11:52 AM
You had me at "this little poop of mine!" Hahah. What a character!
Liz/April 29, 2015 at 12:14 PM
I mean I can't even love these posts anymore.....that Bash is a funny one, following in Julia's footsteps I see!
SarahApril 29, 2015 at 1:46 PM
You are turning all of these into a book, right?
UnknownApril 29, 2015 at 4:01 PM
a. I want to be a "grown-down.
b. C-sections on the living room sofa may not be so enticing to potential home buyers.
just sayin ;)
chelsea @ the new wifestyleApril 29, 2015 at 4:04 PM
first off...kids in hip sunglasses are the best. second off...."grown-down?" he's a genius!
UnknownApril 29, 2015 at 8:23 PM
Does he give a discount for c-sections done by scissors on your couch? Cause I'm looking at all options come September to avoid the lovely, larger than life hospital bill. :)
UnknownApril 29, 2015 at 10:27 PM
Bahaha. Awesome!
Charlotte April 29, 2015 at 10:35 PM
Do your kids give fashion advice? Because I've got 20+ years on them and still.... they've got better style than me.
AnonymousApril 30, 2015 at 1:09 AM
More Bashy please....and bring back " convos with Julia!!
natalie g.April 30, 2015 at 11:12 AM
As a labor and delivery nurse your blog always reminds me that all these residents I work with who are at the hospital for long hours have families waiting at home for then.
CarrieApril 30, 2015 at 9:39 PM
Love it!! :)
LaureenMay 8, 2015 at 12:57 PM
He is so handsome. :) And to think I thought the stuff my little guy says was funny... Haha!!
