Best friends are important - especially to Isaac, who waffles between Clayton and Blue Blankie as his "best friend". And since Isaac is full of announcements - particularly when it comes to best friends - one of my most frequent phrases with him is, "Oh yeah? Why?" He ALWAYS has an answer. Here are some of my favorites:
Bwoo Bwankie is my best fwend.
- Oh yeah? Why?
Cuz cuz when I am a baby owl he can be a soft nest fo me.
- Ooooo. . . that IS soft.
Bwoo Bwankie is my best Fwend.
- Oh yeah? Why?
Cuz cuz he's weewy good at giving kisses. See? Mmmmmmmwaaa!
- Mmmwwaa!
Bwoo Bwankie is my best fwend.
- Oh yeah? Why?
Cuz cuz when we do a show he says, "Wadies and gentomen! Heew is da gweat gweat Isaac to do da show!"
- Yeah, I remember. I love your shows!
Cwayton is my best fwend.
- Oh yeah? Why?
Cuz cuz he pwotects me when da monstoes bwake frew da seewing at night.
- That makes sense. Since Clayton sleeps on the top bunk, he's a natural decoy.
Cwayton is my best fwend.
- Oh yeah? Why?
Cuz cuz he wets me bwake his Wego twacks.
- Uh, I don't think so. That's not what best friends do. That makes Clayton really mad.
Cwayton is my best fwend.
- Oh yeah? Why?
Cuz cuz he just wuvs me. Cuz did you know Cwayton is my best fwend fo wife?
- I did know that. And I love you too.

Your boys are so cute. I love it.
I LOVE the dialogue. And that you used the word "decoy" with a 3 and a half year old.
I also love reading his "accent". I try to write in my kids' accents and I didn't realize it, but looking back at old stuff, I'm surprised at how much I've forgotten. They lose their little speech impediments so quickly...:)
Emily, you should write a children's book called Blue Blankie about all the different things Isaac and Blue Blankie do together. That is what I immediatly thought of reading that dialogue.
This boy is definitely your son, check out that lil' creative mind at work!
