Cody has really been coming out of his little shell lately and talking more and more. In fact, recently, it has been quite difficult to get him to be quiet! But the good thing about that is that we get to hear all the clever and wonderful things that come out of his mouth.
For example, he wears his favorite boots almost everywhere. He was taking a closer look at them the other day and said, "Hey, I never noticed my alligators had sniffles!" Apparently, nostrils are sniffles.
Cody certainly brings truth and honesty to all his interactions as well, not shying away from potentially delicate topics. He asked my dad why he didn't have any hair (LOL), and said to me, "Remember that time when you were fat and we painted your tummy?" (For the record, I was pregnant, not fat. :P)
And, hard as it is to believe, Cody trumped himself in the "Bungled Song Lyrics" game. Last year, his favorite song was Good Charlotte's "I Don't Wanna Be in Love" and for Cody, that song was called, "I Don't Wanna Be a WOLF."
Well, the other day in the car, we were listening to Bon Jovi's "Shot Through the Heart." The lyric goes, "Shot through the heart/And you're to blame/You give love/A bad name." Cody was singing along from the beginning (I didn't even know he knew that song!), and when he got to the chorus, we heard his new and improved version:
Shot through the heart
And you're to blame
You give love
A BAND-AID.
Hahahahahahahahahaha!!! As Anthony says, Cody has a unique and wonderful interface with the world. It is such a treat to hang out with him!

He is such a special guy! I love 'sniffles'! And really, Meg, who would every believe you would be fat???
aww - i love the bandaid line - that's a great lyric, maybe you have a future songwriter on your hands!
I loved hearing all of Cody's wonderful comments. I'll never listen to Bon Jovi the same. I haven't laughed so hard.
Miss you all
Aunt Em
I just can't wait for Cody to come to Kindergarten!
You mean there's another bungled-song-lyrics champ in the family?! Sing it, Cody!!! There's nothing better than watching Lucas instantly go into dance mode when he hears music & Cody go into singing mode when listening to the car radio or quietly singing or humming to himself as he plays in the sandbox or with his cars. Grandad tells me that Jacks is pretty cool on the bars at gymnastics so I'm beginning to get this glimmer of an idea for The Miller Brothers roadshow with Anthony providing cool rock guitar to some great music while Luke dances, Cody sings & Jacks provides visual entertainment thru gymnastics. What do you think, Mom?!
