"Don't be scared my Darlings" to the cats as he bolts into the bed room and proceeds to leap about the bed

"I'll just eat the cold" in response to being informed it's cold out and he should put on a sweater

"whatsaid?" or "why" the almost instantaneous response to anything said

He loves to play mechanic (or occasionally Dr. or Vet) where he brings an adult a car (or doll) and the adult has to fix it. Usually if asked what's wrong the vehicle he says "when it goes the wheels fall off"

Another game is to build an imaginary house. Variously using all of his vehicles he brings loads of material to the center of the rug, where he and I will then mime putting together the pieces (smooth the ground, put on floor joists, screw together pipes, hold up walls while he nails them on, paint the walls using his pretend plastic tools, put on the roof joists and roof. Often if he's in charge of what comes next the final step after the roof goes on is the foundation.

He often calls a large leap from the coffee table or something "a trick"

He likes wrestling with me, calling it a "rough game". But typically he prefers specific actions to just amorphous wrestling (which doesn't count apparently). There's "pile driver" (the name suggested by Auntie GG I think) where I hold him horizontally above the bed and drop him. There's "steamroller" where I log roll back and forth across him. There's "jackhammer" where I hold him and shake him into the mattress (always with a lot giggles). Occasionally I make a pizza out of him by stretching him out, and rolling him back and forth, maybe chopping him up like a vegetable. Often I push him around with my head on the mattress (like a hound dog) which always makes him very ticklish.

Usually if he sees me with his toothbrush, or pajamas he squawks and starts running all around, playing a 1 sided game of escape when we are trying to get him to bed.

Lately if we play blocks I hand him blocks 1 at a time and he says he's making a road, and will carefully put all the blocks down in a big flat 1block high shape (looking more like a parking lot)

If we tell him it's dark and time for sleeping he tells us "I see through the dark" and "I will sleep with my eyes open"
