Definition of a Kraigism:
evidence of the way Kraig's mind works, expressed in the way he speaks....gotta love him!!!


9/2009
Pajama day at school....Kraig had NONE of it. He was adamant he was NOT wearing his pajamas....he was going to wear his "morning clothes". aka the clothes he put on in the morning.

"I don't talk to Bobo because he is boring" (said at dinner....random)

"we don't like alligators and snappers" (said in response to conversation about the 5 yr old that shot a gator in Texas)

"After this night"...said to reference anything that is happening tomorrow.

"That car doesn't have a lid" (said when a convertible with the top down pulled up next to us at a red light)

"That's a layer on" (what he called my floating pool lounger)

"Nina, you are losing your mind" (said in the car on the way home from picking me up from work...don't remember now why he said it, but he said it plain as day)

When asked why he likes when Papa goes to work: "because I get my favorite spot" Kraig gets up almost every night and walks across the hall to his grandparents room.....he wiggles alot when he sleeps, so when my dad is home, my mom puts him on the side away from my dad. BUT when Dad goes to work, Kraig gets to lay in the middle of the bed....which apparently he likes!


9/27/2009

"Where are you going with the 'comfy' side?" asked when moving a mattress down the hallway to the bedroom.


12/2009

while watching Dirtiest Jobs, he hears the host say "dammit"...so he turns and tells Chris, alligators make you say "dammit"
arrestors...aka handcuffs (he plays with a pair of Chris' handcuffs leftover from his armored car days...)..he says use the arrestors on Christopher

Kraig likes the "booming show"...aka Lock and Load (a show about military weapons)


5/2010

After walking back to the toy dept for the 3rd time because Kraig kept changing his mind once we got to the grocery part of the store, I told him we would go back, but he had 1 minute after we got there to make up his mind; when we got back to the toys and he starts looking around...he asked me "Are you going to start counting?"


In the car on the way to church, Kraig was talking, then Christopher started talking...Kraig told him "You need to be quiet; you interrupted me."


6/2010

Chris: "Kraig, we're going to get in the pool."
Kraig: "What about Mommy?"
Chris: "She's at a meeting, she'll be home later. Do you want to wait for her?"
A moment's pause....
Kraig: "Is my life vest outside?"
At least I got a moments consideration!


7/2010

Red and Bruno (more Red than Bruno) ALWAYS lick my hands and arms when I fill their water bowls...I hate it..it grosses me out. Chris fills it, and they don't even go near him. Kraig says "They like girls". Well.....They are boys.....

wk of 8/2/10

we are preparing Kraig for school...most of the time when we ask if he is ready to go back, he says "NO" without thought, without hesitation. One day, his response was "Why don't YOU go to school?"


8/8/10

Kraig was sleepy and trying to snuggle; I told him he better not be asleep. He said "I'm just resting my eyes."
He got past the sleepies and was playing...constantly walking and standing in front of the tv. I told him he couldn't stand where he was...I can't see through your head. He said "Well I wish you could."

8/9/10

In our continuing efforts to get him OK with going back to school, I asked him again if he was ready. Again he said NO. So I asked him if he knew he was going back on Thursday...he said "Yeah, but I don't see the point."


9/4/10
in the car on the way to Home Depot, Kraig told Chris "you wear me out"....wth?


9/12/10

getting ready for church...
Kraig: Is it Fast Sunday today?
Mom: No
Kraig: So it's slow Sunday?
what's even funnier is that he wasn't even trying to be funny...he was totally serious!

When I posted the above conversation on my facebook....this was a comment from one of the leaders:
"he was so adorable in primary. He was the mystery spotlight and each clue given he would give a thumbs up and and say "yes, that's me." When we announced his name you would have thought he had won a million dollars. he thanked us and then said. "ya, I know I'm cool."


9/26/10

Kraig has his *spot* in the living room...his chair and a small table that he eats and plays on in front of the tv....while looking at the Sunday Target sale paper....
Kraig (in his intercom voice): "Paging Mommy and Daddy...report to Kraigy's office in 2 seconds"
Chris and I looked at each other, then promptly walked to his "office" (wth?!)....he proceeds to tell us what he wants from the ad.."I want this and this and I want this"....yada yada yada...he pointed to about 8 different items...
(FYI...Kraigy is Chris' nickname for him that we all use....and apparently so does he!)


10/10-11/10

While driving to IL for a family reunion, we passed lots of farmland. Kraig didn't miss the obvious: "I saw John Deere's tractor."

While driving home, he said "Ya'll wear me out!"


10/26/10

Chris: I'm going to get Mommy (from work)
Kraig: Do you want me to come with you?
Chris: Do you want to go with me?
Kraig: Well, NO.


12/13/10

Kraig: "Does Papa work tonight?"
Gma: "No."
Kraig: "Aw man.."
(You will recall from previous Kraigisms....Kraig likes to sleep in the middle of my parents bed (he joins them most nights)...but he can only sleep in the middle when my Dad isn't there....so he likes the nights he works.)


1/2/11

"I can say I love you in ruff language..."ruff ruff"


1/5/11

Kraig was sitting on the couch as I walked behind it, he held his hand out for me to hold and said "Hand hug"


1/9/11

I had brought my suitcase in from the storeroom for an anticipated (but thankfully unnecessary) trip to Texas....on our last trip via the airlines, our suitcases got kind of beat up...worse than I was aware. The entire bottom of my suitcase was shattered...Kraig said it was in "crumbles".

3/6/11

Kraig: "I'm gonna sit right here in Christopher's way" (as he sits on the floor next to him at the kitchen table)

Us: "Why?"

Kraig: "Because I can."

6/29/11

While listening to a Sara Evans "A Little Bit Stronger" on itunes, Kraigs snaps his fingers and says "that's a kickin' beat!"  

1/15/12
Kraig:  "Ok...stop now."  (he is in the living room, we are in the kitchen)
Us:  "What are you doing?"
Kraig:  "I'm fasting forward.  I tried to fast backward and went too far and now it won't stop fasting forward."

4/21/12
"I'm going to die of hungriness..." said about 20 min before dinner.

Many more to come...as I think of them and as they occur!
